Forecast FunPlus Phoenix - Northeption
The group stage of VCT 2022 Masters Copenhagen is coming to an end. We have two interesting matches ahead of us, in which they will play for a place in the playoffs. The first meeting will take place between the representatives of Japan Northeption, and the equally famous FPP, which has passed to the tournament from the European qualifiers.
Previously, the teams have not met each other, today they will have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
FunPlus Phoenix shape
As I wrote in previous reviews, the team qualified for the current tournament with some problems. In the VCT 2022 EMEA Stage 2 Grand Final, they lost to Fnatic (0-3), which allowed them to advance from second place. At the moment, their situation is very deplorable.
The first match in the group stage of Masters Copenhagen ended with a victory against XERXIA (2-0). Then they ran into Korean favorites DRX and in a decent fight, they couldn't pick up a victory (1-2). Now they will face representatives of Japan Northeption, and the further state of affairs will depend on the outcome of the meeting.

Northeption Form
Unlike future rivals, the Japanese team almost easily qualified for Masters Copenhagen. In the playoff stage of the qualifiers, the players had to visit the losers in the final of the lower bracket, from which they successfully advanced to the grand final, where they defeated ZETA DIVISION (3-1).
In the passing group stage, the first match for the team ended in defeat against DRX (0-2). This was followed by a difficult win over XERXIA (2-1), as a result the club will face the FPP for the right to remain in the tournament.

Match prediction
Let it be a little, but the European team looks better than the rivals. On the other hand, this is a knockout match, so both teams will give it their all. As for me, with a very high probability there will be three cards.
