Pretty difficult to call, both teams had fairly dominant maps (T1 obviously much more so) and I'd say G2 have the slightly stronger team, but T1 should have a huge mental advantage going into the decider
It's everything, they're also losing aim duels, but that thrifty at 7-3 was just a bad call by G2, the super-late rotation meant they only had about 6 seconds left to plant, so one kill on the planter immediately meant they'd lose the round
This match should have been over by now, if it wouldn't have been for that pistol clutch by leaf and Jonah holding down the site pretty much by himself in one round
G2 are staying alive through individual performances, but idk, the T1 lead was so big
Who the hell thought bo3 format is a good idea for a swiss stage. It is boring also they are broadcasting one game at a time so basically you only have one option as a viewer
bo1 are more open to surprises and always more tense since it is a bo1. Besides It is better being that there are many weaker teams in stage 1 and long games can be boring
The Chinese league never had the rating either. Afaik it's because China uses a different game client/API/whatever the technical term is, so a lot of match data that is used to calculate these ratings isn't available to vlr.
