fnatic vs k23 & Alternate vs Vitriolic in Relegation

ImageWith the groupstage being finished theres still two more matches being played on Thursday evening being fnatic vs k23 and Alternate vs Vitriolic. The winner of the match will advance to the playoffs facing MYM and SK.



Both matches are being played shortly as teams are setting up right now. Also from now on all matches will be played in a Best of Three which will give the spectators at least four more maps tonight and one of those matches is also being broadcast on ESL-TV.

The first match is fnatic vs k23 where fnatic again have came back from a struggling groupstage making it to the relegation. Yet it is not really sure who of those teams is actually the favorite as k23 have played a quite good groupstage winning over SK, mousesports and IMPULSE. In terms of experience it is obviously would be fnatic but k23 have been hitting great shots during this and also the last tournament which they played right before Dubai.

Being Best of Three now k23 have decent chances of causing an upset tonight but we also know fnatic are getting stronger over the matches so the mapchoice will be one of the more interesting points in this match.

The other match will be Alternate vs Vitriolic where Vitriolic seem to be the stronger team looking at their scores and performance during the groupstage. But just like in recent tournaments, Alternate can always come back pushing each other with lots of motivational screaming which always to help them a lot even if they are far behind.

Check out our Dubai coverage for all the matches and also place your bets to win a SteelSeries Bundle in October betting.
