<\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\nTop lane is the place G2 will probably try to build an advantage in. Wunder was by far the most dominant laner in the league this split, and Bwipo has showed some weaknesses typical of rookie players, sometimes overextending in lane and easily dying to ganks as a result. Taking away some power picks for top lane, such as Gangplank, Camille or Swain will be a must for Fnatic, and G2 should use that draft advantage to secure a comfort pick for their ADC Hjarnan.<\/p>\n
Rekkles and Hylissang, however, won\u2019t fear Hjarnan even if he is playing Jhin or Tristana. Fnatic\u2019s bot lane has been putting on a show for months now, doing amazing work both in lane and in teamfights. Rekkles is a player that cannot be banned out (Vitality tried their damnedest to do just that), and is probably the best player in the league. Synergising perfectly with Hylissang, these two create a bot lane that will be very hard to face for G2\u2019s duo, who prefer to stand far back in lane and not take chances with offensive plays unless they\u2019re in a 3v2 situation.<\/p>\n
Neither team is very clean around baron, but I do think that Fnatic are quite a bit better once the game goes late. Their perfectly coordinated engages by the support or jungler followed by the rest of the team are currently unparalelled in Europe, and G2 (especially their mid laner) have shown some inconsistency in that regard recently. G2, however, are good at punishing major mistakes, and Fnatic will have to be careful not to flunk plays around objectives like they did in that infamous game against Vitality.<\/p>\n
Best bet and odds<\/h2>\n Fnatic:<\/strong> -111.11 \nG2 eSports:<\/strong> -125<\/p>\nThe battle for the throne has a high chance of going to five games if both teams play to the best of their capabilities. I don\u2019t think the teams are equal, however. Fnatic might have a young and inexperienced top laner going against a monster like Wunder, but in my opinion their 4-player core is by far the strongest in Europe and will be enough to take three games away from G2. The reigning champs will surely fight back, but I think Fnatic\u2019s synergy and sheer player quality will be too much for them, and that Europe\u2019s original kings will likely take back the crown with a win in the fifth game.<\/p>\n
