Fracture...?

The first games of the season are just over 9 days away.. And we're gonna be seeing Fracture for the first time since EG won Champs.

Since Fracture got taken out, we got Deadlock, Iso, Clove, and Vyse added to the game. We got massive buffs for Gekko, Cypher, and Astra, and massive nerfs for pretty much everyone else. And we have an entirely new generation of top teams, with ideas and comps no one in 2023 could've imagined.

So what's the Fracture meta gonna look like this year? What is your favourite team gonna play on this map? What will work, and what won't? And who will be the best Fracture team of the year?

What comp? Who's playing what?

What comp? Who's playing what?

Dep- Raze/Neon
SugarZ3ro- Brimstone/Astra
Clz- Breach
Xdll- Fade
SyouTa- Cypher

Double senti with Deadlock might be relatively popular. Gravnet is very strong on both sites, and the wall can really slow down lurks or fuck up routing.

I'd guess most teams will run solo Astra and double initiator though. Brim/Viper with solo initiator feels much weaker now than it did in 2023.

Will kickoff be played on patch 9.10 because 7 days for practice is crazy

ZETA? Crow Fracture ZETA vs T1 to qualify for masters Tokyo Fracture?

astra deadlock neon breach fade

double init: Breach + Fade/Sova/Gekko
solo controller: Brim
solo duelist: Raze/Neon
1 flex spot: Viper/KJ/Jett

i dont think u need senti for fracture since you play defense by taking space

We got massive buffs for Gekko, Cypher, and Astra, and massive nerfs for pretty much everyone else.

yk what else is massive

Of course the NEW AGENT wow I didn't think about that!! What if the NEW AGENT is REALLY GOOD ON FRACTURE thanks for pointing that out Two_Percent there's no way you're referring to anything else

Astra intuitively felt like the direction teams would go to me—I hope it's Astra and not Brimstone because frankly I think Astra's a LOT more interesting.

Also Deadlock does seem like she'd have a lot of merit on this map, now that I think about it

Astra deadlock cypher breach raze/neon. Maybe jett too but idk

Raze/Neon
Fade
Breach
Astra
Deadlock/Vyse

I think whatever team(s) run some variation of this comp will have the most success, but it's all dependent on if these agents stay near their current state.

• Cypher will disappear, its gonna be a KJ map (Maybe Vyze depending if pro how to play her, to be she may become a gamechanger because you can sacrifice both a Flasher and a Sentinel and have Vyze to have a 2-ctrl comp).

• Raze will be still here

• Raze boombot destroyed the 0-revel meta progressively during the 2023 season, Skye was nerf, so it's gonna be either Sova or Fade meta

• I dont like Breach overall, and he doesnt have amazing result on the map, I bet he gonna stay most picked (around 80% ?) but will be challenged by doble controller meta, and I bet he will have a negative NMWR. (Viper was nerf, so maybe not her, can be Astra or maybe even a Sage)

• Hard to say about the Brim vs Astra debate.

• Most used composition Raze / Breach / Fade / KJ / Brim

• Best composition Raze / Astra / Fade / Vyze / Brim

Brimstone + Astra is an idea I hadn't considered

I would prefer play Astra + Viper, but Vip has nerf to the ground, I'm also curious about Sage

i can hear your accent while reading LMAO

Nothing will change on the map meta wise, maybe will see astra instead of Brim its going to be fairly simmilar

BabyWizard [#20]

i can hear your accent while reading LMAO

Sorry, zis is somessing I need to work on

Neon will still be ran on this map
Brim will still be meta, Astra is un-runnable without double smokes
If you are going to run single initiator u have to actively take space so thats why i prefer double initiator
Fade/Skye/Breach will still be the most ran initiator on this map
Cypher will still be pretty popular but KJ will be superior, I can see ppl running Vyse with one out of the two sentinel

I think they would've announced changes. It's like when they brought back Haven with no changes.
