Both teams are known for heavy anti-stratting so maps could go either way, especially with how inconsistent player form can be. Despite that, I wanted to have a look at their map pools because this will be the last time it’s relevant given GenG will win 3-0 in the GF.
TH perma’d Ascent and Breeze until G2 beat them on Bind and Split. G2 then took Lotus in the rematch and exposed TH’s weak Ascent attack side. Icebox shot up as their top pick after Sunset and they swapped comps on Bind, besting 100T.
TH Map pool ranked by relative confidence
Sunset > Icebox > Bind > Lotus > Split > Breeze > Ascent
G2 has an issue of losing the first map every series until they can start counter-stratting their opponents and relying on their supreme mental to get them back in. Bind is their strongest map and Sunset is their perma. On the bright side, their “middle” maps are proven to be better than TH’s.

Maps in question for Series 3
- Bind | TH have since adopted Fade after their loss and beat 100T in OT.
- Split | TH swapped Pati and Woot after their loss.
- Breeze | TH’s comp is unknown with this roster iteration.
This is how I see the Map Veto going: G2 - TH
Sunset | Ascent | Lotus | Icebox | Split | Bind | Breeze
What do you guys think? G2 should be favored but it’s possible TH look much better on Split with the role swap and Bind with the new comp. I’m really hoping this goes to a map 5!
