Fnatic vs ECSTATIC Predictions
Fnatic and ECSTATIC are set to clash on Thursday, August 29, in the opening round of ThunderPick World Championship 2024: European Series #2. It'll mark their second meeting of 2024, and according to the esports betting odds, Fnatic should win.

The top Counter-Strike bookmakers have priced Fnatic as 1.25 favourites to defeat ECSTATIC, who are 3.50 underdogs for the upcoming affair. This gives ECSTATIC a 28.6% implied probability of winning the series, which isn't a high number, but it might not sound too far from the fair figure.
- ECSTATIC (#96) are lower-ranked than Fnatic (#23)
- Fnatic are in solid form
- ECSTATIC have yet to win a tournament this year
Head to Head
Fnatic and ECSTATIC met once before, in March when Fnatic edged out a win. This was before ECSTATIC rebuilt their lineup.
- Fnatic 16-14 ECSTATIC – March 3, 2024
Fnatic Form
Fnatic are one of the leading candidates to win ThunderPick World Championship 2024: European Series #2, which hardly comes off as a surprise. They're ranked in the top 25 in the global Counter-Strike esports standings and are in decent form ahead of their first match of the tournament.
Fnatic are 7-3 from their last ten series with just three losses against 3DMAX (0-2, 1-2) and HEROIC (1-2). On the other side, Fnatic have recently beaten OG (2-0) and Cloud9 (2-0), which is nothing to sneeze at.
Even though we've not seen Fnatic do extremely well at the highest level in a while, they have done more than fine when faced with other second-division squads, so there aren't many reasons to doubt them and their chances to defeat ECSTATIC.
Fnatic Squad & Team News
Fnatic have not made any roster changes since May.
- Freddy "KRIMZ" Johansson
- Aurélien "afro" Drapier
- Alexandre "bodyy" Pianaro
- Matúš "matys" Šimko
- Benjamin "blameF" Bremer
ECSTATIC Form
ECSTATIC are not in the best shape ahead of their clash with Fnatic. While they won four consecutive games last week, they enter this series on a four-game losing streak.
That stretch includes losses against ENTERPRISE (0-2), RNT (0-2), Dynamo Eclot (1-2), and TSM (1-2). This is anything but promising, and even ECSTATIC's previous wins don't inspire much confidence, as most of their success this season came against other low-rated teams.
ECSTATIC have not won a single tournament this year, and while they have come close to claiming a trophy a couple of times, none of the deep tournament runs happened in bigger events. So far, their most notable accomplishment was placing 12th-14th at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, albeit that happened in March before ECSTATIC rebuilt their lineup.
ECSTATIC Squad & Team News
No recent roster changes for ECSTATIC.
- Kristoffer "kristou" Aamand
- Anton "Anlelele" Huynh
- Martin "nut nut" Holm Vestergaard
- Mikkel "n1Xen" Borlund
- Sebastian "Tauson" Tauson
Verdict
Fnatic are priced as quite heavy favourites for this match, which makes a lot of sense. They're higher rated and have looked much better than ECSTATIC of late, with a better win record despite playing stronger opponents.
Even though Fnatic are far from an elite Counter-Strike team, they have done enough to be considered one of the main favourites to win this event and a team that should not struggle against squads of similar quality to ECSTATIC.
