cobalt21312 [#5]how is first to grand finals a disadvantage??? they get 2 map bans and an opportunity to get an extra day of rest + watch the lower finals.
It's a mental thing. Complacency for the grand finalist. I noticed it in the SEN vs GENG match. Meanwhile SEN were coming in hot they know their road is harder.
This is where fans should appreciate the resiliency and mental fortitude of SEN not just the aim or strats.
JohnQT said they didn't care either way about the 2 map bans that GENG had and that's saying confidence.

complacency imo is the upper finals winner's problem, not the problem of winning the upper final in the first place. i see what ur saying though + sen coming in hot

i agree with the mental difference but they still had a huge advantage banning two maps SEN were better at.

Lotus and Sunset were their best maps undoubtedly (after Upper FInals), I got worried cuz in swiss stage they had map pools that heavily favored sen, this was the 1st time they had a truly unfavorable map pool against them and were some resilient mfs. Them beating Gen G on Split was insane considering they lost to them before badly (some ppl thought it may've been a fluke) and losing in a similar fashion to PRX. Also I wanna say this was their first win on Icebox ever as a team?
