We are pretty sure Americas top 3 this stage is gonna be G2, SEN and MIBR. G2 are like at least 70-80% favourite against EG, so analysis below is gonna assume G2 makes it to Toronto.
Firepowerwise:
I think Firepowerwise it should be MIBR, SEN and G2 in given order and its very close and it could change in any day. All of these teams have 3-4 players with A or S tier aim and star duelist that can drop 30 against any opponent in any given day and take over matches.
Map pool:
All of these teams hate playing fracture, so Americas Grand final map veto advantage shouldnt be that big of an advantage. All the other maps ranked:
I think MIBR has the best Icebox, G2 has the best Lotus, Sen has the best Haven and in every other map any team could beat each other in any day. I think all 3 teams have equally good Split, Pearl and Ascent and it just depends on who shows up on the given day. Some people might say G2 beat Sen 13-5 on Split and say G2 has the best split but I think it was just nerves by Sen players and some really good ults + late round clutches that snowballed that game.
Its really nice to see we have 3 good teams with 6/7 good maps going into Toronto and I wont be surprised if we see Americas Grandfinals in Toronto. I honestly thought at the beginning of the stage we would be 1 team region whole year thru.
So who do you think wins the Americas split 1? Also who is gonna perform the best in Toronto?
