Pearl in Champions?

is pearl gonna be on the map pool for Champions '22? and if yes, what expectations do you have on the performance that teams can have in the map

Yes it will be played. Im excited

afaik Pearl will be played at Champions and I think most teams will run 0 duelist on the map :/

I wouldnt expect anything too mindblowing from Pearl just like Fracture at champs last year

Yes it will and imo it’s the biggest reason why LCQ teams won’t do so well

yess

we're gonna see 2 initiators, 2 sentinels, and a smoker.. it could be a meta for kayo because this map too small to fight, and maybe all teams will defend deep in site and not peeking at all and probably most rounds will be win by lineups

Kayo with his molly through walls. TOO STRONK

I feel like Fnatic will do well on it because they are always good on new maps. They were the first to show good Fracture last year in Champions. And they also have Breeze as perma ban so that forces them to trying to become good at it.

wohe [#8]

oh wait, that's actually a good point

Yup, they have like 2 weeks to prepare cause probably most of them haven’t even played it yet plus a the couple days break they are almost gonna have to perma ban it and force them to leave their other weak maps open

I like the map. Excited to see pros play it.
