The matchup unfolded as a contrast of momentum swings: fnatic struck first on their own pick, but Astralis responded with composure and depth, turning the series around on Overpass before delivering a one-sided statement on the decider.<\/p>\n<h3>Road to the matchup \u2014 experience versus volatility<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">fnatic \u2014 explosive starts, fragile finishes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the lower seed, fnatic chose to challenge Astralis directly and opened the veto by picking Mirage. The move paid off early, as fnatic showcased strong opening halves and confident rifling. However, recurring issues in late-round conversions and defensive structure continued to haunt them once pressure mounted.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Astralis \u2014 patience, depth, and late-map control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Astralis entered the series with a clear plan: absorb early pressure, avoid unnecessary risks, and trust their mid-round calling.
