Ban fracture. EG dont play haven much (i think?) so it'll be a toss up between the two teams
lemme cook with a prediction
(EG goes first)
EG ban Bind, PRX ban Fracture, EG picks Ascent (PRX picks Atk) , PRX picks Lotus (EG picks Def) , EG ban Haven, PRX ban Split, Pearl last map
(PRX goes first)
PRX ban Fracture, EG ban Bind, PRX picks Pearl (EG picks Def), EG picks Split (PRX picks Def), PRX ban Haven, EG bans Lotus, Ascent 3rd map
ok now that i look at it in hindsight kinda dont make sense but ima just leave it here
absolutely terrible prediction please never cook again. prx would never pick lotus over split or pearl and eg would not ban haven when they could ban split or pearl. Then on prx pick why would eg not pick ascent? why would they pick split which is their third or fourth best map when it is prx's 3rd best map.
Since both teams permaban Haven, they'd likely leave it as decider if either team prepped or the last ban would be Haven.
1st Bans Regardless of who goes first
EG - Pearl (PRX best map)
PRX - Fracture (EG best map)
Picks
EG - Ascent
PRX - Bind
2nd Bans would depend on who bans last and whether either team has prep for Haven
EG - Lotus
PRX - Haven unless PRX has prepped Haven
PRX - Split
EG - Haven unless EG has prepped Haven
Decider
Lotus / Split / Haven
bc EG has a worst split than lotus + prx has a better split compared to lotus. The next part you say is very stupid. Prx have a good fracture but its probably their 4th and MAYBE 3rd best map out of 7 maps. Haven is a 50/50 between each teams so why would prx play fracture when they will most likely lost to eg on fracture?
What? EG's isn't really that good at Lotus, DRX just isn't that good either. They're definitely better at Split and they've literally banned Lotus. Also, your assumption is that PRX just auto-loses Fracture, but that's not how games work. Sure, EG has the best fracture but picks and bans are about assessing risk, and PRX might feel like they have a better chance on fracture than Haven.
EG has a lot of footage of their fracture, thus giving you things to anti-strat. Whereas their Haven has relatively low footage, and their form on that map is unknown. This really just comes down to how PRX feels about their Haven which I can't know for sure of course, but if they do not feel confident enough on it, I don't see why they'd pick it. Also also, fracture not being their top 2 maps doesn't mean much when your map pool is good. PRX fracture is still really good, and they could definitely beat EG on it if they're feeling it.
cmon this has to be bait now. Prx used to be a very good haven team and the one time they played it this year they won, they probably just dont feel that comfortable but historically they are a good haven team. assuming haven is a 50/50 which it's probably not since eg are a very anti strat team and how do they anti strat against prx who have only played a single game of haven + prx have a better haven. But if prx play fracture EG 100% would be the favourites to win that map.
Second point. PRX don't anti strat at all in comparison to other teams so your second argument would just be the other way round as EG are a heavy anti strat team and prx play fracture decently often.
The reasoning behind banning fracture instead of haven doesn't really have to do with how well prx is on fracture but more so the fact that EG are very good on fracture.
Sure if they are not feeling comfortable on haven they would ban it but the same can be said for fracture. So that point goes both ways so it's irrelevant.
They played Haven once this year and have been first banning it ever since. Whatever they have on Haven if anything at all, is clearly not good. Or at the very least they must believe it's their weakest map by a considerable margin enough to keep banning first every time.
PRX literally anti-stratted EDG on Fracture by exploiting them through drop on Attack. They aren't as reliant on it as a lot of other teams, but they do have some idea of how to counter opponents.
It doesn't matter how good EG's fracture is because you know your fracture is good enough to give you a chance to win. Whereas Haven is a massive question mark, which is why I could be super wrong. But I think PRX believes they'll have a better chance on a map where one, they know they're good at, and two, EG has a good amount of footage on.
first point can also be said for EG.
All teams know how to counter other teams through anti stratting and I even said that so I don't understand what you mean by this second point.
They don't really anti strat and eg change everything up each time they play fracture if you ever watch them play so the amount of footage doesn't mean anything. eg are better at fracture so why would u pick the mao in which you are obviously predicted to lose whereas haven it's a question mark like you said so it's way more 50/50.
