NRG 3-1 EG chet anti strat better
EG 3-2 NRG
picks and bans:
Split (EG is slightly better.)
Bind (NRG is better; Potter has got to ban this map)
Heaven
NRG is trying to play Loud's comp here, while EG already lost to them 13-11.
On this map, for example, I think EG is going to win because they have a lot of material to study and the map is good for anti-strats.
Ascent (EG 55%–45% NRG)
Pearl (NRG 60%–40% EG)
Fracture (EG is clearly better; FNS has got to ban this map)
Lotus (NRG 55%–45% EG)
I dont think NRG ban Split, even tho they lost to EG last time NRG beat them on split in groups, Ascent might be the ban from NRG
but why would they ban fracture if they are good on it and have a shit ton of info on egs fracture
Meh, just a feeling, I might be wrong, so let's see.
EG looks scary playing in fracture.
true egs fracture is really good but if you just look at nrg/optic in the past they love anti strating a map that a team is extremely comfortable on and they're good at it because chets a monster
EG has lost fracture to cloud9 before demon1 and Loud who they had no vods on they should still be the best or 2nd best in americas on it.
Agreed they ban either fracture or ascent. But that win on split was due to jaw reaallyyy underperforming too if not it wouldve been as close as last time.
yea but also lets not forget the crazy flick from Demon1 in OT which is why they won that 2v4 or NRG could have closed it out
That 2v4 was on eg map point we dont know if nrg wouldve closed it out. Those arguments dont matter to me cuz that just speaks to the player quality. I cant say yeah nrg shouldnt have won that cuz crashies clutched too much against c9, its just fucking crashies is the goat. Underperformance is one thing but sparks of brilliance is not luck its just players being good playes.
also NRG Fracture is really good EG got nothing on them they haven't played it much at all while EG has played it like every week
i agree with everything except Split And Fracture, Let me explain. Split last time they played I think NRG kinda threw some rounds and Demon1 went crazy. This guy was just not missing, i'm just remembering all the clutches Demon1 himself had that map and if he didn't i think NRG win.
Fracture idk why u mean EG are clearly better. NRG if i rememebr correctly have only lost Fracture this year to LOUD with multiple overtimes where im pretty sure we agreed as a community NRG should've won that match if it wasn't for that 1v3 they threw on match point. But LOUD win cause LOUD are goats(im an NRG fan but love LOUD aswell). But in this regular season im pretty sure everytime they've played fracture they won.
I think Fracture and Split are 50/50. I don't think any team is favored on those 2.
I watched all matches till now and at least for me EG has one the best Fractures in the game.
NRG only played once against 100T, so I don't know bro
wait LMAO, i swear i thought NRG played FRACTURE more than once, thats funny lmao. Yeh i guess too small a sample size cause even though it was a stomp, it was against 100T, Now idk if that was the the good 100T or the 100T that lost to mibr so LMAO who knows.
nrg had like 5 hours max to strategize versus eg today..
its going to be a tough one
Idt either team will be trying too hard. Chet dont give a fuck about seeding matches.
If Eg wins this map, guys, there is a high chance of a 2-0.
Next map is Ascent
I've never been so right, huh?
Map picks: correct
Heaven analysis: correct
Ascent: EG is the favorite to win.
