xSlqme [#2]anything but abyss that map is boring af
unlucky for you abyss will be played in the finals π
GlxyMan2 [#3]corrode gonna be played earlier no? nrg has a 100% win rate on it
i feel like thats their safe play if it goes to map 5 they will be confident to win on that map
NRG will ban bind and sunset unless they prep something
they have banned them all tourney and idk how they didn't get punished picked against them
temi [#7]NRG will ban bind and sunset unless they prep something
they have banned them all tourney and idk how they didn't get punished picked against them
Yeah that would be the confident play
Ban those 2 maps and heavy prep for Haven which is most likely gonna be the first map picked by Fnatic
Abyss-Haven-Corrode could be a 3-0 but if Fnatic wins one it could get close on Lotus and Ascent.
NRG bans: Ascent, Haven. (or Sunset)
Likely order (NRG maximizes early edge): Abyss (NRG favored) β Lotus (NRG lean) β Corrode (NRG lean) β Bind (even/slight FNC) β Sunset (lean NRG) if needed.
sobrazy [#9]NRG bans: Ascent, Haven. (or Sunset)

NRG is not banning Ascent.
It has come to me in a vision that FNC is winning Corrode. Donβt know why. Donβt know anything beyond that. But they will win on Corrode, mark my words
NRG will ban Haven and Sunset
Haven because they lost 13-4 twice and its one of fnc best maps.
Sunset is their perma. I was thinking about what if they let it float but i don't think they'll take the risk. they haven't won once on that map this year.
NRG pick Abyss for obvious reasons. safest way to start 1-0.
FNC will pick Bind
NRG Corrode
FNC pick Lotus
and Ascent is the decider
FNC could also pick Lotus first but against NRG its maybe better to start with Bind.

If NRG pick Abyss doesn't that mean FNC pick the side? If they dont troll and pick attack instead it might look a lot better than it did last time (Not saying they will win)
NioMS [#10]Confident play: Bind and Sunset
Smart play: Bind and Haven + anti on Sunset
why are so sure about bind?
GlxyMan2 [#3]corrode gonna be played earlier no? nrg has a 100% win rate on it
ya but fnc did just bend over DRX on it so idk
Ban Bind and Haven
NRG's three worst maps are Bind, Haven, and Sunset.
Fnatic is excellent on Bind and Haven, while their Sunset is bad/mid.
NRG is bad on Bind, bad/mid on Haven, and bad/mid on Sunset. Makes sense to take out two of FNC's strongest maps and play a map you're both bad on.
FAVOURR [#18]why are so sure about bind?
FNC look a lot better on Bind than Sunset. And NRG haven't looked that good on either so might as well favor Sunset.
Addammo [#17]If NRG pick Abyss doesn't that mean FNC pick the side? If they dont troll and pick attack instead it might look a lot better than it did last time (Not saying they will win)
yeah true. I think they had problems dealing with their comp. I mean they beat RRQ and MIBR on abyss. In theory they can win on that map. NRG played some close matches on abyss with ot against EDG and MIBR but on corrode their matches were also close. So either they pick their comfort or they pick a map where fnc is better probably. They could also pick Corrode first and try to anti strat them from the drx vods
JonahPork [#4]NRG is not banning Sunset just to float Haven vs FNC of all teams
Their bind and sunset are ass they either ban or lose both maps

I know FNC as a team always like to pick their worst side first, but them getting 11-1'd it was basically over
bobwoblob [#22]FNC look a lot better on Bind than Sunset. And NRG haven't looked that good on either so might as well favor Sunset.
I was just curious why not Haven and Sunset for example. Do u think its better for NRG to play FNC on Haven instead of Bind? And yeah with Sunset i agree with you. FNC look mid on Sunset but thats a confidence question for NRG because they haven't won Sunset once this year.

yep but thats why i said it was also a comp diff kinda. harbor creates so much space and yoru is much better than waylay imo on both defending and attacking. not saying they wouldve won with something else but if you've planted its so hard to retake. I think with a different comp they could've get more rounds on defense and with that they couldve played more rounds on attack.

I'll be honest I don't think they're winning Abyss I was just coping, we might just start 1-0 down

fnatic should change their abyss comp imo
Addammo [#28]I'll be honest I don't think they're winning Abyss I was just coping, we might just start 1-0 down
I don't think so either but it could happen for sure. It will be closer than last time atleast
catNmouse [#29]fnatic should change their abyss comp imo
Oh 100% the breach is full troll
bobwoblob [#20]NRG banned Haven instead of Bind last time they played. I think a Haven/Bind ban is a lot more likely.
yeah thats also an option
Hithere20 [#31]Oh 100% the breach is full troll
yep yep yep yoru instead of waylay for sure but what do u take instead of breach?
FAVOURR [#33]yep yep yep yoru instead of waylay for sure but what do u take instead of breach?
unironically g2βs abyss comp but with a vyse instead of chamber, it fits their roles well, or they could switch out the tejo with chamber but that tejo comp looks so annoying to deal with
FAVOURR [#33]yep yep yep yoru instead of waylay for sure but what do u take instead of breach?
a different secondary initiator like kayo or just throw chron on viper
heistheoneandonly [#35]a different secondary initiator like kayo or just throw chron on viper
i feel like viper is troll but i also thought about kayo or tejo yeah. lets see tmrw if they change anything. alfa said in interview that nrg has to be ready for abyss, it wont be that easy this time. he figured out what went wrong or something like that
xSlqme [#2]anything but abyss that map is boring af
nrg is not banning apiss
