Karmine Corp vs FNATIC Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 EMEA League

The best EMEA team is facing one of the weakest squads in the Karmine Corp vs FNATIC matchup
As FNATIC continue their domination in the EMEA League, Karmine Corp are not going to be a tough challenge when you look at their 2-5 record so far in this event. This game is going to be a seeding match for FNATIC as they have already confirmed their Playoffs spot. On the other hand, Karmine must win this to even be in the conversation of reaching the next stage. So, will the French roster bring the biggest upset to VCT EMEA in this match? Here are our predictions –
Karmine Corp
The French squad has only won against KOI after Alexis “Newzera” Humbert left the team mid-VCT and ScreaM stepped down from the IGL role. With a 2-5 record so far, there is a world where Karmine Corp makes it to the Playoffs. The chances of that happening are slim and will become impossible if they don’t win this game against FNATIC. However, we don’t see them getting a single map from the best EMEA squad right now, considering they are leagues below FNATIC in terms of experience, ranking and overall team spirit.

FNATIC
It seems as though FNATIC are running out of patience the way they keep dominating other teams and ending the matches early. After coming from another 2-0 vs KOI yesterday, the match which got postponed, the best EMEA team is warmed up and ready to take another easy win in this Bo3. We are expecting to see another great series from Derke and Chronicle in this game.
