This match is a rematch of the upper finals of CH1, which certainly was an interesting series. For one, both teams lost on their map pick. LG picked Bind, and truly, they got their asses kicked in by all of Immortals. It wasn't a good showing from anyone except moose on sova. My take? If the bans are the same, this map is going to be a lot closer considering their performance against 100T on perhaps 100T's best map. However, I think Immortals might still edge them out purely on caliber of player. Next map was ascent, which was definitely the aproto show, 353 combat score on an agent that not many people use on Ascent, and not even a duelist. Now, as much as I value aproto, there's no way he gets that kind of performance again, which in my eyes makes this another very close map. I might have to give the edge again to Immortals though, so we'll see the map order. If LG can get Icebox before they can get Ascent, I think this series will go to map 3. 2-1 IMT

If LG can defend as well as they did against SEN, putting up a DEF WIN avr. of 75%, then LG takes this series.

Their last match up came down to LG falling apart in DEF. only winning 35% of DEF games in total.

in terms of recent stats, LG come out ahead by a hair in player rating, combat score, k.d & adr.

I have faith that LG have learnt from their mistakes.

LG 2-1

I got LG in a 2-1 win... Last time these 2 played Thief and Moose went -18 and -11 respectively when it comes to fragging but I just don't see that happening again. Moose played out of his mind against 100T and I think he'll keep that momentum going against IMT and LG will take the dub
