yes bc envy vs rng is definitely a much better match than envy vs tsm

ok u right but like i want all the upsets
TSM should beat RNG pretty easily. Maybe 2-1 if they play Split. I can see Renegades winning if they play Split and Icebox. TSM has apparently been one of the few teams actually learning Icebox, but I see a world where they have the wrong read on Icebox and lose. They've had some questionable compositions in the past.

Yes. Icebox should be available. It was available in the NSG monthly last weekend.

Which major teams played icebox? And how’d they do?

ANDBOX played Icebox a ton, and they've done very well. Equinox also played Icebox in every series, and have been doing well. Both teams were playing Viper.
gucciface [#13]for me its gonna be an easy 2-0 for TSM but would be nice to see 3rd map
Why are you doing a prediction when map 1 is basically over?
feels like either rng came in with a "trick up the sleeve" comp that didnt work out (rng is known to try to antistrat their opponents) or tsm ran a completely different ascent defense to what they normally run to compensate for a lack of sentinel. skye had no impact at all this game
also tsm did switch up their defense, but a lot of early round defense was given to taking control of b halls or a long. whenever rng ran a skye flash pop into a site with retrq's dash i think there was one occasion where tsm knew they would run it and hazed hid on the cinder blocks corner. amazing call there
