I mean we haven't seen M8 haven and the CEO said that they are hype to play the map, and considering that BBL played haven multiple time, we can anti strat them and they will not be able to, so i'd rather play their haven than their breeze

BBL usually bans Bind or Corrode. M8s ban Breeze all the time

I thnk BBL will ban Corrode over Bind

BBL picks Haven M8's pick Abyss

BBL picks Split M8's pick Pearl

Decider Bind

#91

0

Frags

+

–

Very good analysis btw but M8's last pick would be Bind i guess cause BBL's Pearl was very good in T2 (they won Pearl 13-4 against PCF too) and like u said BBL usually bans Bind.

#93

0

Frags

+

–

Yeah that's true. In that case, if I'm wrong, then the decider should be Corrode if BBL bans it.

Map 2 : Abyss
BBL 5-13 M8

Map 3 : Pearl
BBL 13-7 M8

Map 4 : Split
BBL 11-13 M8

M8 wins 3-1, minny drops 80 kills

BBL wasn't that dominant on Haven in its previous matches.

M8 can study BBL's gameplay and adapt theirs. BBL can't do that for M8 on Haven

also, attack is pretty easy on this map but M8 defence is really strong. I wont be surprised if M8 takes 7 or 8 rounds in the first half.

Against Vita & Fnatic isn’t convincing?

#103

then if BBL is soooo strong on Haven, M8 will ban this map and it'll be much easier for M8 to win if BBL can't play on their best map lmao

You've built some really great dreams, my friend. You've gained a lot of confidence by beating GX and Navi. But I have some bad news for you: first you're going to lose to us, then you're going to lose to Vitality, and then you're going to lose to Heretics. I'm sorry. Besides, how old is your team anyway? Right now you've only built momentum; what will happen after the first loss? BBL, on the other hand, is a team with great chemistry that's been together for three years. Now you can dream a little more.

#108

2

Frags

+

–

3 years together or not, there's a reason why they stayed in T2 for so long. On top of that, they are all rookies and such an important final in BO5 requires a strong mentality and cohesion. I won't be surprised to see this "superteam of friends" lose track of BO5 due to lack of experience. It is no longer Ascension.

M8 also has rookies but Starxo, Minny and Marteen have already played in VCT, already participated in high-stakes matches and it's not for nothing that we are favorites for this match.

PS: the momentum will not stop with a group of friends fresh out of the academy because the first team was humiliated instead of going to the champions

#110

WestCurry

Frags

Dude, we beat Vitality, you're talking about experience, they have the most experienced players, Fnatic too, are you high or are you pretending to be stupid? It's pretty clear your team is in good shape. But what do you think will happen after the first loss? When I said we've been playing BBL together for 3 years, that's what I was talking about. How many times has your team played a five-game series? Even though BBL has been consistently in Tier 2 for three years, they've played five-game series here. Don't underestimate the team that beat Fnatic and Vitality just because they're Tier 2; they crushed them on the map. All the teams you beat were eliminated :) Two of the three teams we beat still have a chance to go to Santiago, that alone shows the level of the opponents we're facing.

dambi ivy and francis played the full last year but i can kinda give it if you stretch the definition of rookie
Rb is not a rookie. Absolutely not.

better off being a rookie and having young guns than a player like starxo with most experience you can have bottom fragging 4/5 maps

WP to both teams! Was hoping for a M8 win since I want both teams to qualify and I thought bbl had a higher chance of winning the middle or in the lower bracket. But still good game

True. I just don't like that players like starxo spread hate on Twitter and then talk about being chill and relaxed in interviews. I wondered why Lar0k etc. were so pumped against M8... but then I saw starxos Twitter comments.

Glad BBL humbled him.
