If KC wins this, they will maintain a chance of making playoffs, the same goes with FUT but their win-loss will plummet. If KC wins their record in this tournament will be 3-4, which makes FUT’s record 3-4 as well. However, if KC loses, their score will be 2-4 while FUT will be 4-3. This match is a must-win for both teams.
According to the points table, KC is in the 8th position while FUT sits comfortably at the 5th. If KC wants to upset the balance and still manage to qualify, they will have to give a tough fight to an unpredictable team like FUT. That being said, let us look at the lineups for both teams.

KC has been criticized, most extensively by caster Sideshow, for its weird strats and last-minute rotates. But all of that has changed ever since ZE1SH took over the IGL role. That is why we believe this is going to be a tough match for both teams. However, based on form, we believe either team has the potential to 2-0 each other. They just need to be focused on the match enough. KC has lost 4 of their last five matches while FUT has lost three. Based on momentum, it would be easy to call a FUT victory 2-1 but we can’t count out KC just yet.
