TSM have a slim advantage based on the stats, but we haven't seen them play, so we can't know for sure.
TSM likely bans out Haven, if they can.
LG likely to ban Bind because they sort of suck at it.
TSM are entirely dominant on Ascent, so it's pretty much in the bag. Saying that, LG are by no means terrible on Ascent, so we could see TSM finally loose a map this year!
Split and Icebox could go either way. I would favour LG on Icebox, but not by much. Likewise, I would say TSM plays a better Split, but they don't play it often, so there's not much of an advantage their either.
Looking at player stats, TSM look better overall. But, over there last 5 games, LG and TSM look almost toe-to-toe. So, pure firepower won't give either team the edge here.
It's great to see Subroza back on form - he is looking so lethal.
But, so is Thief!
Also, YaBoiDre & Aproto are looking better than ever.
So, prediction-wise, I'd take a stab in the dark and say:
2-1 TSM (Icebox played first)
2-0 TSM (Icebox 3rd Map)
As an avid TSM fan, I want TSM to win but we have to be truthful here, LG ever since the VCT began has been one of the best teams in NA, without a doubt. They are probably the best team to not make it to Masters yet, and they play very aggressively while being coordinated. TSM is aggressive but they can also be very passive at times as well.
For TSM to win, they would need to crank up the heat, and shut down thief and aproto, since they are the biggest threats on LG. They also cant play very clustered with one another, since LG just steamroll every team that plays in packs, the individual plays are key.
For LG to win, they need to play like they always have, aggro but coordinated. TSM's weakness is going against teams who play very aggro but are tactical as well, its like a double whammy.
If TSM bans Icebox, TSM hopefully take it 2-1
If LG bans Ascent or Haven, LG takes this 2-0
Either way, its gonna be a good game to watch
