The VCT EMEA League began its set of matches in Week 4. The teams have been competing weekly in the Regular Season to make it to the Playoffs stage. In the Playoffs, the teams that reach the top four qualify for the Masters Tokyo. Week 4 Day 2 has two matches lined up, one of which is between the defending champions, Fnatic and KOI.
Trending
Week 4 opened with a single matchup between Team Liquid and Team Heretics. Both sides have struggled to impress in the league and require a win for a chance to qualify for the Masters event. Team Liquid eventually won the BO3 (Best of Three) series 2-0 against Team Heretics.
Fnatic vs KOI - Who will come out on top VCT EMEA League matchup?
Predictions
Fnatic have been one of the strongest-looking teams in the VCT 2023, having roped in players like Leo and Chronicle during the rostermania period. The squad went on to win VCT LOCK//IN and has triumphed in every EMEA league match.
KOI, on the other hand, have had a difficult time. Despite the incredible talent on their roster, the team has only been able to win one out of the four matches in the league.
The matchup heavily favors Fnatic as they haven't lost a single match since the LOCK//IN event and might end up extending their win streak even further.
Head-to-head
Neither of these teams has faced the other before.
Recent results
Fnatic's last match was against Team Liquid in the EMEA league, where they won the BO3 series 2-0.
KOI's last match was against FUT Esports. They lost the BO3 series 0-2 despite putting up a decent fight on the first map, Ascent.
