TE 2-0 FPX
It's a new tournament for TE, and it's another opportunity for Flex1n to realize his team's dream of become just like big daddy EDG (that's cringe I'm sorry). While watching the FPX-RNG game, one thing I took away was that FPX is indeed a top Chinese team. The way they retook sites and the overall dominance they showed was not due to RNG's misplays in any way. In fact, I'd say that FPX has a very good chance at beating TE this very match. I understand, TE really blew my expectations out of the water by beating EDG 2-0 and dominating them on Lotus. However, after getting thrashed 3-0 and watching FPX play Lotus (which they are great at), I think there's a very good chance that we get to see a banger tomorrow.
2-1 FPX win.
First prediction that actually require skill. And I fucked it up lmao. Yeah FPX played subpar compared to TE, yes they did win Lotus, which they kinda had to win because it's their signature map, and yes they got slammed on both Sunset (one of TE's best maps) and Ascent. Overall, very strong, solid, and dominant game from Trace, some of their executes were simply phenomenal, and their ability to put a strangle-hold on a lost FPX really proved to be the takeaway from the match, as TE marches on to their goal of becoming the best Chinese team. They've already proved that they can take maps away and even defeat EDG. Now all they need to do is to show the rest of the region that they are just better.
