Expert Squad for Fnatic vs Sentinels
According to me, Fnatic should be the clear winner between the two teams, hence, I will pick 3 players from their team. XANTARES and imoRR have been playing well, XANTARES has always been a scary opponent to face for any team. nicoodoz has been on point with his awp and mezii and roej have both been in form and have played well against big teams.
- XANTARES
- imoRR
- nicoodoz
- mezii
- roej
Picking the Captain and Vice-Captain
I would pick XANTARES as the captain and nicoodoz as the vice-captain.
Adding the boosters
I will equip XANTARES with the ‘Frag Leader’ booster and nicoodoz with the ‘I’ll watch you die’ booster. XANTARES has been a killing machine and nicoodoz has been swift on the awp and could especially play well tonight against a lower-ranked team.
