with their win against FPX one of the favourites to make masters does this mean ACEND have a chance to make masters?
or was this a bad game from FPX what do you guys think?
It was a very close game but i think FPX wasn't really at their best mechanics wise yesterday, especially Zyppan looked very uncomfortasble shooting wise yesterday, while Acend mechanical prowess really shined yesterday, especially starxo, he has been insane lately on the entries and MONSTEER, on Breeze and split he was an absolute demon.
ACEND definetely has the firepower to make it to masters, along with fnatic, the battle for the spot between them,GUILD and FPX is definetley going to be really interesting
My summary of yesterdays game:
FPX - troll quite a lot. Bind was just solo play show from them. Looked like they hadn't prepared much there. Individually some of them were underperforming slightly IMO. Ardiis wasn't hitting much in map 1 and 2 and Zyppan was pretty weak most series. Just felt like this wasn't high stake game for FPX and you could see it in their gameplay. Could be wrong
Acend - definitely looking better than before. Individually most of them were on and they were outaiming and outtrading FPX for most part. They were also playing more of meta comps and that clearly helps them as well. Obviously still some clear problems, but it looked more promising. It gave me some hope for future of this team.
and about the main question: I think 3rd spot will be fought between Acend and Guild, so Acend's chances are all about how Guild looks and obviously how much Acend can improve.
