Lowkey ase win this 2-0 but don’t win the tourney
This is definitely a series that could see a repeat in the grand finals. Both are strong contenders for the Ascension slot, and this series will definitely be very entertaining. While I would value both teams on a similar level on a regular day, if hfmi0dzjc9z7 doesn't return (which he might very well not), I think the edge goes to RA. A large part is due to how good Viva and stew looked in their most recent match against DRG, and I think YiHao's utility usage looked decent as well (his KD doesn't tell the whole story). Despite that, I think ASE stands a good chance at taking a map, especially if monk pops off again and gets those important, clinical kills that made him stand out on Breeze. Overall, this is looking to be a great series to watch.
Somewhat similar to what Yasuho predicted in the comments above, I think this will end up being a 2-1 win for RA.
