rng 2-1 te
I think I'm going to have to go with TE here. As much as I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed watching RNG these past tournaments, I've got to hand it to TE on just how good they are at so many things. I know that's quite the vague statement, but I really don't know what else to say. Flex1n is great, FengF is phenomenal, and as much as I like watching SWERL and Minimise play, I just don't know if they'll be able to tip the series their way. 2-1 TE victory but I'm expecting a well-fought series from RNG.
I'm gonna have to go with rng 2-1. This game will probably be a 2-1 win for either team and trace has better players individually but rng put up a very good performance against edg. The score depicts the game that rng got sorta destroyed by edg but a lot of it had to do with momentum and losing clutches. rng used around 4-5 set plays against edg and of those, 3 or 4 resulted in rng winning and 2 of those were on an eco round for rng. During the game the camera accidentally revealed a lot of RNGs set plays as papasmurf brought lots of valoplant strats with him as physical notes. rng look better at communicating and organised since last time whereas trace is the exact opposite. Since trace has good players they often get away with terrible decision making and I've noticed that they don't really use skye dog, raze boombot, and sova drone that well and instead they often flash their way through chokepoints so on a map like lotus using a judge would be very good. Many times trace have forgotten to use their raze boombots and skye dogs. As long as rng dont overheat and play smart by getting lots of info around the map its pretty easy to tell where trace will be executing on attack and as long as rng know how to deal with traces slow retakes rng can win.
I might have a bit of rng bias tho
