who makes london?
IMO 100T
2-1 crazy OT last map
Both look in form, but NRG is favored since they have more experience. 100t have momentum so I guess that’s the only thing in their favor
I’m going to predict NRG
Map pools idk
I think that Furia > LOUD and KRU > MIBR and we beat them easily, but 100T are coming off momentum so that might help them
I don't think that says much, 100T also beat those teams + didn't struggle vs MIBR/LOUD. Also I am not confident FURIA are actually better than LOUD.
The way I see it, 100T's map pool is a lot better than NRG's so they should be favored on 2/3 maps
NRG have a better Breeze, Haven, Lotus, and Fracture, we ban split 100T can pick between Ascent (which is unknown by both teams) or Pearl with they beat us before. It will hopefully be a close game no matter who wins
NRG 100% don't have a better breeze
Haven and Lotus I would give to them but 100T ban lotus anyway
Fracture is 50/50, (NRG's fracture is shit and they should've lost to sen but 100T have only played it once)
The way I see it:
100T clear on Split, Pearl, Breeze,
NRG clear on Haven, Lotus
50/50 on Ascent, Fracture
I guess I might have overestimated 100T's map pool a bit, so it should be pretty even. But just based on what I saw in the MIBR match, I think 100T would win fracture by a slight margin
if you think that 100T beating LOUD and MIBR on Breeze with that comp means its good you are very recency biased, Sentinels had probably the best Breeze from groups beating all the teams pretty handily and even they struggled against NRG's comp. For fracture, you are probably right it might be 50/50 and since they have more recent experience with the map it would probably favor them
Specifically about that SEN, NRG map on Breeze. SEN had 9-3 defense half. The only reason that map became close was because of a lot of questionable choices from SEN and NRG snowballing 6 rounds on defense.
I didn't really factor 100T beating LOUD and MIBR into assessing how good 100T's breeze is because neither LOUD/MIBR have particularly strong Breezes (Only beat LEV on it)
also i also think NRG beat 100T on fracture since i genuinely think SEN clear the fuck out of MIBR on that map; MIBR genuinely looked lost and mazino was actively throwing and yet 100T still almost lost
100T won both pistols plus a bonus on Fracture yet MIBR still brought the score to 11-13 while looking absolutely uncoordinated and individually lost. I would rate them worst than NRG on that map.
100T got 13-2'd the last time they played Breeze against NRG. On Fracture, if NRG starts on attack, 100T is cooked. NRG also better on Lotus. Haven can be 50/50 no matter how one team is on Haven the way map is designed. Ascent is unknown and NRG will ban Split.
I dunno NRG is looking clean, Ethan has stepped up his game recently and you know its good when players like Skuba don't have many kills because the enemy team is already dead by the time he gets there
you are overestimating 100t’s map pool in a bo3 by a lot ngl
they’re not that much better if at all really than NRG
Ok I did actually look at the maps and yea you are kinda right since it's bo3, bo5 I think 100T should win but bo3 is more 50/50 than I thought
I am the biggest 100T fan (also like NRG though) but I feel like 100T just have a few demons, obviously sentinels, g2, and this nrg roster ever since they got skuba
with how boring the amer games have been lately id say this is also a quick 2-0 for NRG
