Legacy’s structured approach should outclass B8’s more reactive style.
🔮 Fluxo vs Ninjas in Pyjamas
Prediction: Ninjas in Pyjamas win
Fluxo have upset potential, but NIP look steadier across fundamentals.
🔮 RED Canids vs FaZe Clan
Prediction: FaZe Clan win
Firepower mismatch. Unless RED Canids hit peak form, FaZe should close it cleanly.
🔮 NRG vs fnatic

NRG are dangerous, but fnatic remain the more structured team in long-form games.

GL looked revived after sweeping Rare Atom; if they maintain that form, they edge out PAV.

Imperial have the tactical edge, though The Huns’ volatility makes this a tricky matchup.
