WePlay Academy League doesn't even think to stop. The fifth day is in full swing and we have an interesting fight next in line.
The head-to-head confrontation will be held by Young Ninjas and fnatic Rising. Before the start of the tournament, one could safely say that the "ninja" are stronger, but at the Academy League everything is not so simple.
Derby of young European esportsmen promises to be hot. We are figuring out what to expect from the fight and who will ultimately improve their stats in the regular season.
Fnatic Rising Form
I would like to start with the youth roster of fnatic, although he is approaching the match as an outsider. As for me, not entirely deserved.
Apparently, what speaks in favor of Young Ninjas is some kind of recognition. We met young ninjas every now and then at TIR-3 tournaments, and the Swedes were well known. Fnatic Rising's players made their official games debut at the WePlay Academy League. And they did it very well.
Fnatic Rising last matches

Starting with a very difficult defeat, fnatic Rising managed to rebuild and are already leading the tournament table. This is a very dangerous opponent.
Fnatic Rising cards
Like most youth rosters, fnatic Rising doesn't have a huge map pool. So far they have 100% on Inferno (2 matches) and 50% on Vertigo (2 matches).
Young Ninjas uniform
As mentioned above, Young Ninjas are the favorite for this match. This is logical, but you can't tell from the current situation at WePlay Academy League.
The Young Ninjas are not playing very confidently yet. At least not as expected from a team with already good experience in official matches.

The outcome of the fight
If you look at the fight in a vacuum, the Young Ninjas look stronger. They have more game practice, a wider map pool. But all the same, we look at the tendencies of the tournament, and they are such that the Young Ninjas do not inspire danger.
Fnatic Rising is very motivated to achieve results in the WePlay Academy League. This can be seen in the way they took the "overclocking": the first two games with overtime, after which two games 16-5, 16-6. In this match I am for them.
Outcome: victory for fnatic Rising.
