Fnatic really sucks when they are incomplete, I didn’t notice that they are playing in complete lineup until I check it on liquipedia by myself after checking the result. I’m just betting using the casino sportsbook and it’s too bad for me to lose like that just because I’m too lazy to check the roster line-up. I hope Raven get well soon for ESL Malaysia for a better betting experience with Fnatic. They are the only team capable to beat Boom on grand finals match.
There are plenty of strong teams playing in ESL One Malaysia aside from FNATIC and BOOM. There is OG, Entity, Aster, Secret, and TSM among others. There are plenty of teams that can stand toe-to-toe with BOOM. But yes, hope Raven is well and will be able to play in ESL Malaysia.
I think Aster and OG are favored to win ESL Malaysia but it could go to anyone. I am watching secret at this tournament and see if they have improved since adding Reso.
I'd go with OG to win ESL Malaysia. Aster is just too much of a risk to bet on considering how hard they choke, especially on crucial games that needed their 100% focus. We've seen it in a lot of tournaments recently, and even though they are capable of winning said tournaments, they just can't because they fail somewhere along the road to championships. They'll always live behind the shadow of PSG.LGD, even though they've proven that they got what it takes to defeat this Chinese powerhouse time and time again.
