Karmine Corp vs Fnatic - Which team will be eliminated from VCT EMEA Stage 2?

Predictions

Karmine Corp started out very strong in the 2024 season as they were able to win the EMEA Kickoff. However, since then the team has had difficulties putting out great performances. In Stage 1, they were able to reach the Playoffs but were unable to win a single match. Stage 2 has looked worse as they were only able to win a single match and lost the other three.

Fnatic, on the other hand, had the exact opposite journey throughout the 2024 season. With a relatively weak performance in the Kickoff, the team was able to pick themselves back up and win EMEA Stage 1.

While their performance was not up to the mark in Masters Shanghai, they were able to have a dominant showing in Stage 2. Fnatic have won all four of their matches in the current event. Their new player, hiro, has been playing well for his first tier 1 event and has certainly stepped up to the occasion.

This match of Karmine Corp vs Fnatic heavily favors the latter as they have looked a lot stronger in the recent matches. Karmine Corp will need to be exceptional to win this Bo3 series.
