fnatic and Into the Breach will meet in the final round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 for one of the last play-offs of the championship.
I have nothing to say about the play of either team, as both the former and the latter are all trash. However, in hindsight, this tournament likes to present surprises, especially as the Brits' situation is not much worse than that of their rivals.
In general, I mean that it is unlikely that fnatic will be able to play the whole series at the same pace, and the opponent obviously won't mind creating a sensation. Therefore, here I would rely on the map from the team Into the Breach.
fnatic uniforms
The fifteenth ranked team in the world has completely failed in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023, suffering two defeats from FURIA and OG and only one hard-fought victory over 9z.
Moreover, the European squad had a very controversial showing at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they somehow managed to lose to Monte and GamerLegion after defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas.
Honestly, according to the logic of things and the game that fnatic had, the team should have been out. However, the day before the team decided to reverse any performance at all by outplaying G2 Esports.
Latest fnatic results:
- A 0-2 loss to OG.
- A 16-11 win over Ninjas in Pyjamas.
- 17-19 defeat to Monte.
- 11-16 defeat at the hands of GamerLegion.
- 2-1 win over G2 Esports.
Best fnatic scores:
- Overpass - 73% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 56% wins.
- Vertigo - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the European team consistently bans the Anubis map.
Into the Breach form
The 28th ranked team in the world didn't have any luck at Brazy Party 2023. Yes, they managed to beat paiN Gaming and 00NATION in the group, but Into the Breach lost the quarterfinals to 9INE as expected.
However, the British team decided to remind themselves at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 at Long Cogne, where they managed to shut out FaZe Clan and ENCE after losing to Apeks.
At some point Into the Breach was to be besieged. And that happened the day before, when the team was unable to match Team Liquid. Nevertheless, given the 'logic' of the tournament, the Brits can close 2-0 here altogether.
Into the Breach's latest results:
- A 1-2 defeat to 9INE.
- Defeat to Apeks by a score of 10-16.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 16-12.
- 16-7 win over ENCE.
- Defeat by Team Liquid 0-2.
Into the Breach's best scores:
- Inferno - 61% wins.
- Vertigo - 55% wins.
- Anubis - 55% wins.
In their turn, the British team have long given up on Nuke maps.

Prediction for the match fnatic - Into the Breach
I see no point in telling about maps and other things, because nothing works here. As excusable as such words may sound, but the championship is far from logical.
Take fnatic, who beat Ninjas in Pyjamas on Long Song, but then couldn't cope with Monte and GamerLegion, showing a shameful game. And in general, the team on the season did not stand out, but yesterday managed to beat G2 Esports.
About Into the Breach I'm silent, because the British somehow made it to the fifth round and did not fall apart. The conclusion is that the current scene is a real Short Boost.
And in such a scenario, I would recommend betting on the Forum on maps (+1.5) for the Into the Breach team.
