OPTIC vs FPX

If optic beats FPX, its gonna be a PRX Optic rematch in grand finals
We know Optic hasn't beaten an emea team yet but we also know they don't lose in lower bracket, thoughts ?

optic have map veto advantage right?

No it'll be one ban each

based on the matches, and as a fpx emea fan. FPX win cuz optic jus tgot lucky really. optic had to beat xshit and drx to get to top 3 and we know where those teams are at rn.

literal paradoxes of narratives, ones gonna be shattered here, although if Optic is on their prior playoff form before their DRX/PRX matches (yay and friends) it should be a really interesting and close game that could see Optic finally beat EMEA. At the very least I dont expect them to get 3-0'd.

FPX on paper may be a better opponent for Optic than Fnatic, but thats just my take.

As a neutral, I'd like FPX to squeeze through for narrative reasons. They are probably the most unfortunate team both Masters.

ban advantage is for the grand finals, PRX gets both of the 2 map bans.

ah well thank you guys

FPX will win
If optic plays like today expect YAY.

I'm sorry WHAT

I know they should get some form of advantage but that seems insanely strong

As a PRX fan, I hope FPX wins as OPTIC become extremely dominant in the rematches of their series

it will depends if Marved plays well or plays like today

no

optic has only played lower bracket once- not much of a narritive

It all depends on Suygetsu vs Yay. Yadda, yadda, yadda, they the stars, yadda, yadda. I don't care.

Impact

It comes down to which of them can hold sites and destroy the others game plan. I don't care if they match in kills. I don't care about the rest of either team. If Suygetsu can do more for FPX than Yay, then FPX will win. Vice-verse as well. Like, I know Marved and Shao can look INSANE. I know Ardis, Zyppan, Victor and Crashies can frag. I know FNS and Ange1 can outcall every other player.

I. Do. Not. Care.

If Yay outdoes Suygetsu, every other tool will follow. If Suygetsu outdoes Yay, every other player becomes more active. That's all that matter. That's it. Again, it's not who drops 30. It's not who diffs the other in 1v1's. It's who ruins the rest of the opponents team.
