Ok so this is probably the most important part of the game for tomorrow due to the team’s having similar map pools.

FNC have been perma banning icebox which is pretty convenient for Sen as it is not their best map. This is crucial. Sen need to ban haven. This is FNC’s best map by far, getting rid is so important in reducing fnc’s chances of winning.

Assuming FNC have first pick, FNC will probably take lotus. This is not bad for Sen, as long as they are comfortable and are calling well, Sen can win this map.

Sen pick 1: this is a controversial pick, but they need to pick ascent. fnc’s ascent is kind of dog and it’s a map that if Sen can perform even mid, I think they can take it.

FNC ban 2: here I think they ban sunset. Yes Sen do look weaker on it after today, but I am sure a long standing team like FNC understands they are still good at it, they just weren’t playing it well that day. Again, FNC has banned sunset often. Could also be abyss just due to unknown factor.

Sen ban 2: this is a really hard pick here. In my opinion, if FNC do not have the oversight to ban sunset and instead ban abyss(they don’t look great on it and they have no clue what Sen plays), then Sen should ban bind as FNC still looks good on it. If sunset is banned, I would say ban abyss. Yes, FNC look great on bind, but they if Sen want to have a chance in the next rounds on grand final, they need abyss as a hidden trick that can win them a guaranteed map.

In summary
Map 1: lotus
Map 2: ascent
Map 3: Bind

Pretty good map pick analysis man, Sen picking Ascent is a really really hot take since their Map winrate have been 0 ever since madrid. I could see them picking sunset again though rather than Ascent

I agree, I think that if they do make it to a lower finals or grand finals appearance. With the 2 map ban advantage to the winners side, saving abyss for lower finals or even grands can be a surprise that forces a ban on it. Allowing Sen to have sunset or lotus guaranteed instead of banned. Their haven is not bad rn, so if they get 2 maps + they play well on bind maybe. They can prolly have a good chance in lowers and finals

They might take out the abyss since they haven’t showed it yet
