Key points:

Inferno is by far Fnatic’s best map – they have dominated every team on Inferno and although they have been shaky of late losing to teams they really shouldn’t have (TSM), they are still the strongest Inferno team in the World.  They recently won ESL one Katowice and have been consistently one of the best teams over the last 12 months.

NiP are a decent team on Inferno however they are still getting used to life with Allu after recent roster changes – Allu has looked mixed so far with some very good performances and some lacklustre ones.  If he performs, NiP have an outside chance of upsetting Fnatic on their best map.

There will be a knife round to decide which team chooses a side – On a map like Inferno, it’s crucial to start CT side, win the pistol and continue to rack up rounds on the more favoured side.

Current odds – Fnatic 64% NiP 36%

NiP have a chance of causing an upset if Allu performs and if they are able to start CT – They have looked good on T side in the past but Fnatic have one of the best defenses on Inferno and if they start T and lose the pistol, 64% odds could look very big at half-time.

Fnatic are the obvious choice to come out on top in this game – overall they have been the better team in the last 12 months, their lineup is unchanged whereas NiP are still trying to figure out how their team operates with Allu.
