FPX 2-1 BLG
Honestly expected Trace to look way better here but EDG just outcalled and outgunned them. It's common for teams in China to look good for most of the season then just fall apart when they face EDG. I'm definitely not sold on EDG quite yet. They won kickoff, they won stage 1, and look what happened.
The difference this time is new coaching, nobody on igl and simon as initiator, so let's hope for better results in Seoul.
I think EDG gets the win here. Historically speaking EDG has a horrible record when it comes to upper finals but I think this time they might just be able to do it. Unlike FPX, EDG, albeit not at their highest, has a very good chance at beating Trace. I don’t think we should rush to glaze Trace after their dominate performance against FPX because FPX was purely bad.
EDG 2-1 win
I think TE can beat EDG here, but it highly depends on the map picks, TE's bind has always been one of the best regionally while EDG's has been looking weak recently, especially because of the comp they picked yesterday. Meanwhile EDG looks very comfortable on Lotus, Nobody did an incredible job calling on that map and kk neon just works. It's extremely likely that either way it will be a 2-1, though I can't say every map will be close, I think it will be back and forth. Sunset will likely be picked and that should be a banger close match, even OT possibly.
Gonna believe in TE for one last time, if they choke again I'm losing all hope. TE 2-1
