FURY has been inactive for the better part of this year. They came back and were featured at the EPIC League Oceania 2021 Open Qualifier 1 in May where they finished 5-8th. This was after 1 year of inactivity. For this reason, there isn’t much when it comes to map statistics. We believe Paradox will control this upcoming matchup because they lead on all selected maps and have a better win rate. Even though Paradox is projected to win, FURY will take one map.
