The last match of the first round of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown will be Fnatic vs 9INE
There are more than a few top-tier teams at this showdown, and Fnatic, like most of the others, will be facing the relatively inexperienced 9INE. Fnatic vs 9INE will determine who faces the winner of BIG vs Rare Atom, and despite the difference in ranks between the two, it should be a close game. If you’re into CSGO betting or just want to know more about the teams, here’s our preview.

Fnatic
BLAST’s bi-annual showdowns usually feature the more embattled, struggling teams on the CSGO landscape, and Fnatic falls firmly into that category. The Swedish side has been failing to get their hands on top-level prizes for quite a while, and even winning this showdown to attend the Spring Final would likely mean a lot to the team. However, 9INE won’t be an opponent they can walk all over — especially given the form the two teams are in.

9INE
A Swedish and Polish organization, 9INE has had a great start to the year, winning a number of qualifiers and B-Tier events to work out a substantial boost in their rankings. That being said, Fnatic might be a bridge too far, and although the young team are probably going to learn a lot from the match, they don’t stand much of a chance unless they can pull off something special.
