Acend vs Fnatic match prediction
Both teams made two changes in their rosters since the first Split. Fnatic parted ways with Brave and Magnum and signed Enzo from Alliance and Alfajer from Surreal Esports. In their turn, Acend traded BONECOLD to Vitality for vakk and Kiles to Giants for MONSTEERR.
Acend and Fnatic started the 2nd EMEA Challengers with two victories. Acend won against OGLU and FOKUS, while Fnatic beat FPX and OGLU.
Fnatic doesn’t play Breeze, while Acend can play on all seven maps. Both teams are in good in-game form, so the match will be very interesting. The team, who wins this match, with a high chance, will attend Masters 2 in Denmark. The main factor in this match will be Derke. If he will feel the game, Acend will have difficulty. But how showed match against FPX, the rookie of the team, Alfajer, also can take control of the game, and helped his team to come to victory.
On the other hand, Acend has still cNed, one of the best players in the world right now. We saw a lot of times how this Turkish player has changed the game in favor of his team. This match will be the first big challenge for the rookies from both teams. No one knows how the players will be able to handle the pressure, and what results they will show.
About maps. I think that teams will play today Fracture, Icebox, and Bind. Based on this hand, I prefer the Fnatic in this match. They always play well on the group stage, and I like their current in-game form more than Acend’s.

However, one should not underestimate the Acend. There are also played skill players with experience in this kind of tournament. I’m sure that there will be three maps, and all of them will be very close.
