OG and FunPlus Phoenix will meet in the final round of ESL Pro League Season 13. And there is enough intrigue here, as the winner of the match will guarantee himself a place in the playoffs, while the loser will go home. However, I still have doubts about the capabilities of FunPlus Phoenix, which for me is just a set of FPL players, but not a team.
Form OG
The 18th team in the world ranking is actively testing niko, together with which it could not qualify for DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 Europe. However, within the framework of ESL Pro League Season 13, everything is not so bad yet, since the team leaves chances to advance to the playoffs of the championship. The main thing is to win the third time.
The latest results of the team:
- Lost to VOYVODA with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat from Complexity with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Renegades with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 1: 2.
Best OG cards:
- Train - 50% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
Recently, the statistics of the team have only worsened. Moreover, the team itself drives itself into a corner, demonstrating an extremely unstable game.
FunPlus Phoenix Shape
The 19th team in the world ranking received the last invite to ESL Pro League Season 13, although it should be admitted that there are teams that are more worthy. Moreover, before the tournament, the team invited suNny, with whom they could no longer cope with the leaders of their group. Moreover, it still seems to me that FunPlus Phoenix will not make it to the next stage, since the team does not have a clearly defined structure.
The latest results of the team:
- Beat Gambit with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat from Complexity with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Renegades with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Heroic with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 1.
Best FunPlus Phoenix Cards:
- Train - 100% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% wins.
However, on other maps, the team did not manage to stand out. In addition, FunPlus Phoenix will definitely not play on Vertigo, which, however, is beneficial for the opponent.
Personal meetings statistics
During the last season, the teams held three meetings:
- FunPlus Phoenix (GODSENT) victory at the Europe Minor Closed Qualifier - ESL One Rio 2020 with a score of 2: 1.
- OG's victory at cs_summit 6 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
- OG's victory in ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe with a score of 2: 1.
I suppose we will definitely see three maps here.
Prediction for the match OG - FunPlus Phoenix
Again, I continue to be skeptical about FunPlus Phoenix. This team has no prospects for me. In turn, OG should finally shoot, which is what all fans are waiting for. In addition, the Europeans are clearly stronger individually, which should predetermine the outcome of the meeting. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the OG team with the odds of 1.87.
