Super excited for this matchup between two extremely young squads. However, trying to guess the map ban's this time around is particularly tough. Both teams tend to play Lotus, Bind, and Abyss; will they play into these 3 maps and test how good they are on the day? Or go down a completely fresh road and see who's more prepared? I'll try my best to predict it, regardless.
I would assume TH choose to be Team B: DRX ban Haven; TH ban Ascent; DRX pick Lotus; TH pick Bind; DRX ban Sunset; TH ban Icebox; Abyss remains.
TH 10 - 13 DRX on Lotus
TH 10 - 13 DRX on Bind
I do feel the format is slightly unfair for TH, as they have less time for preparation, even though they're coming from the Upper Bracket. I know this prediction is very basic but I simply feel DRX will feel comfortable going for this map ban, given the extra time they get and TH having lost Lotus, Bind, and Abyss already at this event. Still, I feel TH should not be underestimated and they will come back after their disappointing loss to LEV. Hopefully a close and exciting match!
