Paper Rex Prediction - Fnatic
The VCT 2022 Master Copenhagen playoffs are in full swing. Today we will talk about the matches of the upper bracket semi-finals, the first of which will be held between representatives of Europe - Fnatic and their rivals in the face of Paper Rex, from the Pacific region. Previously, the teams did not meet each other, so today they will have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Fnatic form
Let's remember how the team got and promoted within the framework of Master Copenhagen. The team earned a slot in the ongoing tournament thanks to the victory at the VCT qualifiers in their region, where the players were able to beat the competitors from FPP and Guild, which allowed them to go straight to the playoffs bypassing the group stage.
The first match in the quarter-final "Orange" successfully played against old opponents from FPP (2-0), throwing the latter into a loser. Now they have a meeting for the right to reach the final of the upper bracket, and it promises to be tough, because the opponents are also a high-level team.

Paper Rex Shape
The situation of the team is very similar to the opponents. They showed themselves excellently at the last qualifiers, where in the final they easily beat XERXIA (3-0), which, by the way, had already taken off from the tournament. Then the players went to Master Copenhagen straight to the playoffs, where the first match against the Europeans from Guild Esports went without difficulty (2-0). Now they are waiting for another meeting, already with the winners of the qualifiers of the same Europe, and it will be much more interesting, because future opponents are definitely stronger than those they faced before.

It is difficult to determine who is stronger, because both teams take the first places in the overall standings of their regions, and the first matches in the tournament went without problems for both. I would venture to suggest that the victory will go to the representatives of Europe.
