The fourth and final match of the day at the WePlay Academy League will be the confrontation between FURIA Academy and fnatic Rising. Perhaps the most potentially uninteresting match runs the risk of becoming a very interesting spectacle.
On paper, we have a typical opposition between an outsider and a favorite. In the role of the first, FURIA Academy, who have not known victories for a long time, and as the second, fnatic Rising, showing good CS until recently.
We figure out whether it will be in practice or not, and at the same time we are trying to figure out who will win the match.
Fnatic Rising Form
Let's start with fnatic Rising. This time, not even because it is our nominal favorite.
The fnatic academy is perhaps the most interesting team to watch. This is due to their "wavy" game, which sometimes surprises, then greatly upsets.
In the first week of the Rising league, they condemned all the applause in the world, but then something went wrong. This is something that reflects perfectly on the recent performance of young fnatic.
Fnatic Rising last matches
- Beat Young Ninjas 16-12
- Lose to NaVi Junior 9-16
- Beat Astralis Talent 16-12
- Lose to mouz NXT 10-16
- Defeat to VP.Prodigy with a score of 20-22
Yesterday's game from fnatic against VP.P is a good example of the instability discussed above. In one match, the team manages to take a round with three usps and two digles, but in the end, with a score of 15-9, they lose 20-22 in their favor.
Fnatic Rising cards
With the mappool, Rising is doing mediocre. The best map is Overpass. There, fnatic's youth team has 2 wins in 3 games.
In addition, fnatic has 100% wins on Inferno in 2 matches. Another trump card in the sleeves.
The most unfortunate one can be called Vertigo. There fnatic Rising has 33% with 3 games.
FURIA Academy Form
Young Brazilians have a similar story. At the start of the tournament, they showed an excellent debut, beating mouz NXT and Astralis Talent, but later slipped into a streak of 7 consecutive defeats.
The case definitely smells like kerosene. After all, if at the beginning of the league the matches were even, and FURIA gained 14 rounds, now they hardly go to the mark of 10 points taken.
FURIA Academy Latest matches results
- Lose from BIG Academy 14-16
- Lose to Young Ninjas 6-16
- Lose to NaVi Junior 3-16
- Defeat to Astralis Talent 8-16
- Lose to mouz NXT 10-16
If FURIA doesn't want to stay in last place, something needs to be changed. Moreover, the problems seem to be at the structural level.
FURIA cards
Despite the very sad history of recent games, FURIA can impose a fight on fnatic Rising on at least a few maps. Among them are Dust II, where the Brazilians have 3 wins out of 4 matches and Nuke, where the Brazilians have a 25% win rate with 4 maps, but Rising is not playing there.
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams played in the WePlay Academy League. Then the match ended in favor of Rising with a score of 16-5.
The outcome of the fight
Almost all day I “drown” for the favorites of the meetings. This match is no exception. I don't believe in the Brazilian academy at all, and fnatic needs to rehabilitate itself after yesterday's lost match.
Outcome: victory for fnatic Rising.
