Top Esports have racked in eight victories over the nine games played this stage and are heavily favourited to take down FPX who are 4-5 after four weeks of action.

While FunPlus Phoenix have shown some pulse of late, they do not seem ready to take on the strongest team in the league.

FunPlus Phoenix Form

FunPlus Phoenix enter Thursday's match following a solid victory against Bilibili Gaming, who they beat 2-1. It was a decent display from FPX, but more of an indication that BLG are not all there.

Over the split, FPX have done relatively well for themselves and have proven to be feisty underdogs. They know how to drag their opponents down in the mud with them and force their own game, often leading to scrappy and bloody affairs, which can easily go either way.

However, this does not always work, and it is unlikely to work against a team like Top Esports.

Top Esports Form

Top Esports have been on a roll this stage. They've won eight of seven games played and enter this game on a five-game winning streak, having recently beaten ThunderTalk Gaming (2-0), Team WE (2-1), Bilibili Gaming (2-1), Ninjas in Pyjamas (2-1), and JD Gaming (2-1).

Despite their success, TES seem to have a tendency to drop maps, but the majority of their wins have been stompings. Besides a few lost maps, Top Esports have been playing well – as you would expect from an elite LoL esports team.

Verdict

FunPlus Phoenix v Top Esports

Top Esports are rightly priced as the favourites for this match. They're in solid shape and an elite team that should be able to handle FunPlus Phoenix without any issues.

On the other hand, FunPlus Phoenix have a fight in them and have proven to be feisty underdogs, mainly due to their ability to drag their opponents down in the mud with them and force scrappy games.

Top Esports are not as likely to be forced to play FPX's game, however, so as much as FunPlus Phoenix can not be written off entirely, Top Esports look poised to win in two maps.
