Prediction

FunPlus Phoenix and G2 Esports are two of the strongest teams in the competition. However, for this game, FunPlus Phoenix is surely the favorite based on their recent performances. Though the team started the campaign with a defeat last week, FPX has the potential to recover from their mistakes very quickly. The team has dominated against G2 Esports in its recent game as well, which will surely boost the confidence of the team ahead of the game.

Meanwhile, G2 Esports will be looking to seek revenge for its defeat in the Stage 1 Challengers Grand Final. With experienced players like Mixwell and Nukkye on the team, G2 Esports can stop FunPlus Phoenix by playing tactically.
