pretty good match between the 2. chronicle had a big off day and fnc looked pretty sloppy
map 1 ascent was a pretty good punish pick by loud bc its probably fnc worst map out of the 6 they play and in louds top 2. fnc started off really slow but they also played really sloppy losing a 2v4 and i think a 3v5. maybe u can say fnc should have won this map if they didnt troll bc of how close it was but overall loud matched fnc here so more of a 50/50 map.
map 2 lotus is where loud heavy anti strated fnc. i dont think fnc really changed anything since the beginning of lotus and they got punished for it today. fnc tried to change timings of when they will take map control towards the end but they looked pretty uncomfortable doing so. also it seemed loud had the read of everything fnc were trying to do based off the anti strat. I do think that fnc change some stuff up they will win the rematch on lotus. I find this similar to when optic beat loud at reykjavik on ascent or when loud beat optic on bind at champs (both were kind of fluke wins based off anti and in the next match they both got blasted)
overall pretty good day from loud. I wouldnt be too worried for fnc bc they still played well but were very sloppy on ascent.
