Both teams are good on Bind
DRX will ban Pearl obvioulsy
I think Optic will ban Ascent
What can we expect?
Fr1tZ [#6]DRX better on Haven, Ascent, Breeze
OPTC better on Bind
Fracture 50:50we never see OPTC play Icebox this tourney and DRX play Pearl so idk how to rate
last time drx smashed optic like 13-5 on fracture, but likely a one off
james_reece [#2]Optic might ban haven too
Optic has good haven, I would rather have them ban ascent and play icebox because their ascent T side is so shit
DRX have not showed their Pearl yet, Optic did. DRX can do an amazing counter strat surprising Optic because they don't know how they play it
I think the picks will be: Fracture (both teams are good), Pearl (DRX will try to counter strat), Ascent, Haven (optic will try to counter strat), Icebox. Not in that order
I think Optic will ban Breeze and DRX will ban Bind
xzav18 [#3]Its b05 no? so Optic has gets only ban right?
there are 7 maps in the active map pool: bind, haven, ascent, icebox, breeze, fracture, pearl.
PandaZ [#10]I think DRX have a stronger map pool this tournament and h2h their players diff everyone on Optic except yay but yay cant do everything alone. I see DRX winning 3-1
Optic - Pearl
DRX - Haven
Optic - Bind (DRX also have an amazing Bind but i will bet on Optic)
DRX - Fracture
DRX - Breeze
Optic/DRX - Icebox (last time Optic managed to win this map against DRX but DRX icebox looks better after they lost to Fnatic)
DRX - Ascent
I think it's like that
DrCamus [#11]DRX have not showed their Pearl yet, Optic did. DRX can do an amazing counter strat surprising Optic because they don't know how they play it
I think the picks will be: Fracture (both teams are good), Pearl (DRX will try to counter strat), Ascent, Haven (optic will try to counter strat), Icebox. Not in that orderI think Optic will ban Breeze and DRX will ban Bind
If DRX were willing to play Pearl, I think they’d have banned Fracture against FPX today. They’ve seen FPX play Pearl twice and had a two-day break so my guess is they continue to ban it and take their chances on Bind (where they only lost 11-13 to OpTic in their last match)
