NRG will ban bind and sunset unless they prep something

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 banned Haven instead of Bind last time they played. I think a Haven/Bind ban is a lot more likely.

NRG bans: Ascent, Haven. (or Sunset)

Likely order (NRG maximizes early edge): Abyss (NRG favored) → Lotus (NRG lean) → Corrode (NRG lean) → Bind (even/slight FNC) → Sunset (lean NRG) if needed.

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.

It has come to me in a vision that FNC is winning Corrode. Don’t know why. Don’t 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)

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

I know FNC as a team always like to pick their worst side first, but them getting 11-1'd it was basically over

#27

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

I don't think so either but it could happen for sure. It will be closer than last time atleast

unironically g2’s 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

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

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.
