FPX 2-1 TE
CN Kickoff Group A: Trace Esports vs Funplus Phoenix
TE Brief Information: Produced a dominant Ascent and demolished TYLOO on Sunset. They had several good trap plays and have reinforced their stature as one of the top CN teams.
FPX Brief Information: NOVA gave them a run for their money but they came out victorious in the end. Autumn played duelist on both maps and Life moved to play the Chamber. Lysoar was great on Lotus and AAAAY tried the Gekko again (it was alright).
TE Players to Watch: FengF is always interesting to watch, he’s a great player. Kai continued to be hyper aggressive (which proved to be good in some situations).
FPX Players to Watch: AAAAY is great, I also liked what Lysoar showed against NOVA especially on Lotus.
Prediction: FPX should look to take this 2-1 but I'm expecting a highly competitive series.
FPX looks so shaky on sunset especially in those first few rounds( I convinced myself that they didn't want to expose too many strats) and I doubt if Life can still consistently carries the game, so TE 2:1 FPX, FLexin looks amazing as always.
BTW AY, Yuicaw and nobody are my top 3 CN players when it comes to pure aim-- learn a lot from their pov how ordinary gamer can improve their crosshair placement and adjustment, others are too talented for me to learn..
