SEN vs NRG map prediction

If Kaplan is smart, here is a possible scenario:

SEN bans split (they are good on it but they overplayed the map and have become predictable on it + chet is gonna waste a lot of time vod reviewing it)
NRG bans Bind (they auto ban it)
SEN picks sunset
NRG picks Ascent (their comfort pick)
SEN bans breeze (somehow sen is dogshit on this map and they played it a lot as well so chet will review it a lot)
NRG bans icebox (they usually ban it)
Lotus is the decider (sen are decent on it and they only played it once)

If the map picks goes like this SEN has a chance to win, otherwise it’s gonna be very hard for them. If nrg bans sunset instead of bind it’s fine as well, SEN are solid on bind.

Sen will NOT ban split lmaooo
and I guarantee NRG has cooked bind, because with Ethan Yoru, Vic raze, Crashies gecko, Demon1 Brim, Marved Viper, they'll be insane on the map.

Here's some better pics:

SEN bans Icebox (as they have every other game, they're obviously not prepped on it)
NRG bans Split (SEN's best map)
SEN picks Sunset
NRG picks Breeze (new comp probably)
SEN bans Ascent
NRG bans Lotus
Bind remains

This map pool is super favorable for NRG imo. They've looked good at Sunset, while SEN has shown almost everything they have on that map. SEN has looked weak at breeze while it's a great map for NRG (and we haven't seen anything new on it). For bind, NRG almost definitely have a good comp prepped while SEN has shown their bind over and over.

It's also possible that NRG go for a Bind or Ascent pick for map 2, either of which will probably also be favorable maps. There's only one map I'd give SEN a definite advantage on, and that's Split.

In short, SEN is already on the back foot, and this game will be very hard (but not impossible) for them to win.

If sen is smart they would ban breeze or ascent

It is not super favourable for NRG sunset is really good for sen and NRGs comp for sunset looks shit tbh the jett pick is awful and only worked for c9 because they had no cypher comp. The maps sen can possibly win is sunset and split and maybe probs lotus since we don’t know what NRGs lotus is

Idk why you guys think SEN is bad on Breeze, they only lost it to LEV(LEV map pick), and while facing G2 they were literally trolling. They defeated PRX on breeze too.

Yeah knowing sen they lose the map in one series and then win the map again in next series lol they did it on split, they did it on bind, they did it on ascent

ethan wouldnt really work as solo duelist tbh

If these maps are played out, the results will look like this:
Icebox: NRG
Split: 50/50
Lotus: NRG
Sunset: NRG
Ascent: NRG
Bind: 50/50
Breeze: NRG 100%

Lotus : currently sen but can change

also unlikely but wht if SEN is cooking icebox, they banned it to hide strats

I’ll agree with you for breeze and ascent but everything else hell nah NRGs sunset is fucking garbage

Bro you don’t know anything

Jett is very good

Can literally solo anchor a site and hold lines

Inly chamber and jett can do that

TheAceGamer30 [#14]

I’ll agree with you for breeze and ascent but everything else hell nah NRGs sunset is fucking garbage

NRG sunset is masterful

Did you not watch their match?

Raze > jett easily on sunset. Jett is fucking terrible on sunset only good with op

It’s shit , they got lucky that didn’t play against a cypher and breach comp that will easily destroy their comp lol

Brother I agree with you, but NRG is not beating SEN on Sunset they have the god comp.

They did it to lotus so maybe

Ascent nrg
Bind 50/50

Do you guys think SEN can cook something on split in order to avoid an (really likely) antistrat by NRG? They played it so much, there are so many VODs, Chet will review it endlessly

cboomer [#7]

ethan wouldnt really work as solo duelist tbh

You could also see Ethan Skye, Vic raze, point is they have the tools and it seems absurd to me that they wouldn’t put some effort into that map

TheAceGamer30 [#17]

Raze > jett easily on sunset. Jett is fucking terrible on sunset only good with op

Jett is so good

NRG won rounds literally off of jett’s value alone

ArtemisZ083 [#12]

also unlikely but wht if SEN is cooking icebox, they banned it to hide strats

When life is on the line, team will not hide strats

SEN showed everything

U guys talking about "if sen has a good map pick they will win for sure"

g2 letft open just the two best maps from sentinels and they lost as dogs

They need to ban Jett maps, because zekken is one of the best razes where as the Jett still looks shaky from time to time, especially if it's an op map.

this is a minor thing to worry about. It all comes down to maps and comps. Especially maps. Chet is notorious in anti-strating. No one should underestimate him. The only way I think Sen have a chance is to pick Lotus. That's the only key way of Sen winning this Bo3. If Sen don't pick Lotus, they lose this series

Asuna_Yuuki [#15]

What are you on lol, there's a reason why Raze has such an overwhelmingly higher pickrate on Sunset

Unless most pro teams are wrong and we should just all worship Asuna_Yuuki idk

nah they gonna come up with new strategies for every map lol

NRG 2-1

EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD IS WRONG THE POOL WILL BE FRACTURE, PEARL, AND HAVEN

Just because more people do it doesn’t mean its the best

How about you tell me how raze is so good instead of using others as justification

Look at LOUD with the phoenix for example

Or the harbor viper

Or the OpTic neon

SEN banned breeze vs MIBR, so its a possibility they ban that, but probably icebox yeah

TheAceGamer30 [#28]

No

Yea

So many times on defense NRG had full control of a line/site with demon1’s op which allowed them to stack the other site

And don’t forget demon1 is the king of jett knives which also helped them win rounds

TheAceGamer30 [#33]

nah they gonna come up with new strategies for every map lol

4 days aint a lot of time to come up with strats in every map. There are 2 realistic scenarios: One, pick lotus and play out of ur minds. Else, ban jett maps and let zekken raze diff victor

Demon1 Astra and Victor Raze will shit on your Split. Just watch and learn my little Dragqueen.

Demon1 Astra and Victor Raze will shit on your Split. Just watch and learn my little Dragqueen.

I don't give a fuck if you run 5 duelists. SEN CLEARS EVERYONE ON SPLIT

Literal trash comp if that is their split comp

TheAceGamer30 [#45]

Literal trash comp if that is their split comp

Lol aight your dumbass is about to get humbled. I'm done with your trash talk now. You saw what LOUD did to you right? NRG will do it to you again can't wait for your ass to shut the fuck up this weekend. Bet.

SEN - Sunset
NRG - Ascent
third map - LOTUS

NRG might be better but I have a feeling SEN will win this for some reason like a major upset.

How can Ethan Yoru while he is IGling, or maybe someone else has done this?

velocity05 [#48]

There's no reason why you CAN'T strictly IGL from duelist, just most ppl prefer to do it on something where you don't have to be locked in on your aim all the time

Shadow_Monarch [#46]

if NRG wins its not be cus of this comp alright 😂

TheAceGamer30 [#50]

if NRG wins its not be cus of this comp alright 😂

I dont think Split will be played among them. But if NRG wins, its because yo silly SEN fan ass needed to be humbled twice.

I don’t even care if sen loses lmao

That just explains you're not really an actual SEN fan. You just love to spam because you have no life, got it kid. Done chatting with ya useless ass. Bit disappointed tbh. But yeah SEN will lose because of fake and delusional fans like you haha, bet.

guess what, you start playing these off-meta picks and get anti stratted the next time you play. thats how the pro scene is lol. EG fucked LOUD on Ascent the next time they played that comp bc all u gotta do is look at the VOD lmfao. SEN won the whole tournament anyway so stay on the copium ig 👍
