Current form of the teams

Fnatic comes into this matchup riding a wave of success, boasting a three-match win streak. Ranked 21st in recent half-year earnings with $16,080, Fnatic has demonstrated strong performance in recent months, achieving a perfect 100% win rate in the last month and an impressive 72% over the past six months. Their recent victories include a 2-0 win against Team BDS, a 2-0 triumph over SK Gaming, and a hard-fought 2-1 win against Team Heretics. However, their recent 3-0 loss to Karmine Corp in the LEC Spring 2025 Playoffs reminds us of the challenges they face against top-tier teams. Fnatic finished 4th in the LEC Spring 2025, earning $5,702.

G2 Esports, on the other hand, is ranked 8th in recent half-year earnings with a substantial $344,456, showcasing their consistent performance on the international stage. Despite their recent struggles, with a 33% win rate in the past month, G2 Esports remains a formidable opponent. Their recent matches include a 2-0 victory against Team Heretics, but they suffered losses to T1 and Gen.G Esports during the Esports World Cup 2025, where they finished 4th and earned $160,000. Despite these setbacks, G2’s overall win rate of 68% this year highlights their capability to compete at the highest level.

Head-to-Head

Historically, G2 Esports has had the upper hand against Fnatic, winning three out of their last five encounters. Their most recent meeting on May 24, 2025, saw G2 triumph with a 3-1 scoreline. However, Fnatic managed to secure a 2-1 victory in their April 27, 2025, encounter, showcasing their potential to challenge G2. Fnatic’s win rate against G2 stands at 29%, while G2 boasts a 71% win rate in their head-to-head matchups.

Prediction

Considering the current form and historical data, G2 Esports is favored to win this matchup with a 68% probability. Despite Fnatic’s recent winning streak and strong performance in the LEC 2025 Summer, G2’s experience and higher earnings suggest they have the edge. The predicted score of 1:2 reflects the potential for a closely contested series, with G2 likely to emerge victorious.
