However, in a series where the mid laners can essentially neutralize each other edge to PawN , their ADC, Deft, will be the key to EDG.

Look for Deft to single-handedly win a game in this series. This is one of the closest matchups in the first round of the knockout stage and one that has more of a semifinal feel to it.

Fnatic comes in as the number on e seed when it comes to betting on eSports and a slight underdog in this matchup with current odds of 2.

They easily dispatched the number 3 and 4 seeds in their group stage, but had two very one-sided losses against SKT. Fnatic started out after week 1 of group stage.

Proud partners of:. CS:GO undefined undefined undefined. During Summer Split, changes in the meta for the ADC disrupted the roster of the team.

It is Bwipo that we found on the bot lane to defend the title of the champions. A successful strategy since Fnatic is again at the top of the regular season standings.

During the Playoffs, the long-awaited return of Rekkles allows the team to continue its momentum. For LCS EU Summer , Caps is awarded the MVP title.

The player has proven time and again his efficiency on his lane, taking the lead with a wide range of champions from Irelia to Vayne, through Wukong.

Thanks to the 6 members of his team, Fnatic won their second trophy of the year in LCS EU, confirming their place of 1st seed EU LCS.

For these Worlds , many consider the team as the best European hope. The objective of the black and orange is clear: to pass the Groups to represent the colors of Europe to the quarterfinals and more!

His beginnings are not as glorious as he is today. With the change of Meta and absence of AD Carry Rekkles during the Summer Split , the team can no longer rely on its flagship player and must review its strategy.

Caps then became the other center of attention in the game. Now, every game means tournament life or death.

For our second day of events we have Fnatic lead by Mid laner Caps, dead set on proving to the World that Europe is not a region to be trifled with.

With the restoration of the throne and the Old Kings of Europe Fnatic not taking just one but two EU LCS split titles with them into Worlds, many fans of the region and Fnatic are hopeful for some more magic.

After multiple seasons of playing second fiddle domestically, the boys in orange and black have managed to not only find themselves at Worlds, but have made quite the buzz about them.

Many had Fnatic as a strong team, but few were so bold to think that Fnatic could top their whole group. They earned that too, beating the titanic LPL team Invictus Gaming not once, but twice in one day.

The resurgence of the oldest EU LCS team in the league has brought them here as not just leaving their group, but being the top seed.

Whether that will help them, having drawn EDward Gaming, will be decided, but it speaks to the quality and timber of the team overall to have done it.
