Fnatic vs EG

I'd expect the map veto to be:

1. Fnatic ban Pearl
2. Fnatic ban Fracture
3. Fnatic picks Lotus
4. EG picks Ascent
5. Fnatic picks Bind
6. EG picks Split
7. Haven remains

A two map ban advantage seems huge here. Denying EG's fracture would be strong.

*some changes in rosters , form and meta would make long term stats ineffective

It seems like EG will have a mountain to climb to win here. Though anything is possible.

damn ty for that table that looks sick,

but didn't FNATIC always first pick fracture every single time the map is available to them? I feel like FNATIC thinks that fracture is their best map.

i believe in the miracle

Lotus is fnatic's first pick.
They did pick Fracture first once, when nrg banned lotus.
I would hope that fnatic use the second map ban more strategically.
Fnatic fracture is pretty good but it's not worth the risk to leave it open imo.

fnc pick fracture and ban split, you heard it here first

oh yea shoot I forgot about lotus
yea it should be all godo for FNC then, they would 100% ban fracture
I hope EG pull off a miracle man cuz I'm rooting for them

The only crazy thing I could see is fnatic not banning pearl.
It would be bonkers to pull out a hidden map like that, though it's so unlikely.
