FURIA and G2 Esports are set to face off again in the FISSURE Playground #3 quarterfinals on September 11, following a season where both have struggled for form. Although neither team has dominated the event so far, FURIA remain favorites to win, largely due to their higher potential and a recent victory over G2. G2's inconsistent performance and limited map strength make them less reliable. With no roster changes, both teams enter with pressure, but FURIA's stronger recent results make them the safer bet.

FURIA vs G2 Esports Betting Predictions


FURIA and G2 Esports will clash on Friday, September 11, in the FISSURE Playground #3 quarterfinals, marking their second clash of the year.

Both teams have been a bit off this event, failing to produce the high-level performances expected of them. That especially holds true for FURIA, who were viewed as the main title contenders.

However, while FURIA’s performances have been sub-optimal, that doesn’t take away from their high ceiling, especially given that they’ve faced G2 Esports not too long ago.

This has potential to be a competitive game, but ultimately, it is FURIA’s to lose.

  • FURIA have beaten G2 Esports once before this season
  • Both teams have been a bit shaky
  • This is FURIA’s game to lose

FURIA Have to Show More


FURIA haven’t been all that convincing during this event. As pre-tournament favourites, FURIA were expected to have smooth sailing through the group stage, but it was anything but that.

They started the event with a  close 2-1 victory against GamerLegion, then added a 2-0 sweep of the struggling PARIVISION, and lost the Group B upper bracket final against Legacy in a fairly one-sided game.

Legacy won that match with 13-7 on Mirage and 13-9 on Ancient, outperforming FURIA, who now enter the playoffs with a lot more to prove.

Considering what FURIA have shown in recent months, they have the tools to dominate FISSURE Playground #3. And with the stakes higher, they should produce better performances.

G2 Esports Look Shaky


G2 Esports have qualified for FISSURE Playground #3 playoffs, but the road to this point hasn’t been that promising. G2 started the event with a close 1-2 loss against Astralis, and then made it through the lower bracket with wins against BIG, 9z Team, and 5star eSports.

Of the three wins, only the final one was convincing. BIG did not come that far off beating G2 with 13-8 on Cache, 7-13 on Mirage, and 10-13 on Ancient, and 9z caused them even more issues with 13-11 on Dust II, 8-13 on Ancient, and 10-13 on Inferno.

For a team of G2’s calibre, they were expected to show more. While G2 have been on an upswing of late, the results over the last week are not that inspiring.

Verdict

Neither team managed to perform as well as expected at this event, making it harder to pick out a winner. While form hasn’t been great on either side, FURIA have shown much higher highs in recent months, which alone is a good reason to pick their side.

G2 forced FURIA to three maps last month, so they’re not to be entirely underestimated. But with their map pool, averaging over a 50% win rate on just Mirage and Inferno, they’re not to be trusted to deal with FURIA.
