fnatic vs. EXTREMUM Family Betting Preview
fnatic will need time to get into the competitive rhythm and find the proper form, while EXTREMUM seems to be in top form right now. That being said, I don’t think fnatic can win this game, even though the bookmakers gave them an advantage here. They are as strong as before, so EXTREMUM has a great chance to prove its worth. I am backing the underdogs to get that victory.
The Pick: EXTREMUM to win (+120 @PINNACLE)
