Oh no! Im 1/3 on my predictions, hopefully i can get back to a respectable 50%! What a great tourney with great games we’ve seen, and finally Optic have won a map against EMEA.
PRX 3 - 0 FPX
prx ban split
prx ban icebox
Ascent -PRX they have looked really good at breaking past chokepoints and blitzing past opponents setups. Also if FPX pick jett over chamber, they will not be able to counter forsaken lurks. If they do pick chamber it’ll be more manageable for fpx and will be much easier to win. Either way PRX look incredible on ascent, and they had to compete against Xerxia who had already beaten FPX on ascent.
Bind - If they go back to yoru: PRX, if not its a simple toss up. PRX look uncomfortable on their fade raze, but they have a full day to get good at it. Optic was able to become incredible on breeze in a day just before grand finals, so it is definitely possible. But the yoru has been proven to be the buggest contender for the best bind in the world.
Haven - PRX. FPX look bad on haven. PRX had optic’s bread and butter destroyed here, however their most recent performance was simply bad, however, it wasnt with suygetsu, so I would say it might be better than expected.
Not much to say. PRX have looked really strong in every map they play except split and with 2 bans I dont see it being very intrusive. They full extra day of prep and the two map bans will make the series look bad, but i definitely expect some close maps from both.
