Undoubtedly, Fnatic is the better team overall. However, that is not an indicator for a sure-shot victory in today's Fnatic vs KRU Esports match. Despite being notoriously inconsistent, KRU Esports is known to cause massive upsets; in fact, they eliminated Fnatic from the 2021 Champions run.
Once again, KRU's win condition lies on how well keznit shoots during the series. If he is in peak form, the match is bound to be close. If not, Fnatic is the superior team in terms of strategy and overall consistency.
Fnatic's experience and individual talent should be enough to carry them over the life unless KRU brings out some wild card.
