Sentinels vs NV
Added Astra
except now there is a lower chance of sentinels even qualifying in top 4. One player is a big deal ,with new sub player they wont be as comfortable. They have to teach their strats to new player in span of a day and be ready. also I don't know if they will be as strong mentally after this incident. Also other teams in NA are also looking great so they will definitely take advantage of this weak link in sentinels. Their first is against LG and second will be against Immortals or 100T. All three of these teams have potential to defeat sentinels at their best
Hopefully there is no 1 map advantage bullshit in this grand final....
Yes, teams reaching the final from the upper bracket should have some sort of an advantage but starting 1-0 is just absurd
Some ways of giving the advantage to the upper bracket finalist and game starting at 0-0 in maps:
-choose the order of 5 maps
-pick a starting side on every map
-ban(prevent) 1 agent from the opponents for the first map
-start the first map with all 5 ults ready
And many more....
Have a nice day
I agree with the Map loss and think it is perfectly justified. Sure it doesn't offer the best of viewing pleasures, but that's just tough they get what they deserve.
-choose the order of 5 maps
This seems OP. Say you're FaZe, if you got perfect map order every time you wouldn't lose a bo5.
-pick a starting side on every map
This doesn't actually offer any real tactical advantage other than confidence, so not really worth winning winner's bracket.
-ban(prevent) 1 agent from the opponents for the first map
Wouldn't be a bad idea if the team comps weren't mirrored almost every match. Sure banning say phoenix or jett would be somewhat useful but most bans would limit your comps as well since everybody plays mostly the same things in NA.
-start the first map with all 5 ults ready
Not only impractical, but you're just going to end up using all the ults on 3rd round anyways, so you're either going to be 4-0 or 2-2 on the first map, which isn't really a big advantage. Plus now you have to recharge all your utls again.
No map advantage: https://twitter.com/daprcs/status/1373102261010841600?s=21
by the way the grand finals has no map advantage
feels like everytime we go thru the uppers there isnt a advantage Sadge
Faze is fantastic, just need to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, po flashes, map pool, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, posplant positioning, bunny hopping, spray control and getting kills
