Both teams are good on Bind
DRX will ban Pearl obvioulsy

I think Optic will ban Ascent

Optic has good haven, I would rather have them ban ascent and play icebox because their ascent T side is so shit

DRX better on Haven, Ascent, Breeze
OPTC better on Bind
Fracture 50:50

we never see OPTC play Icebox this tourney and DRX play Pearl so idk how to rate

Drx most likely ban pearl, optic either ascent or icebox, my guess is ascent because they just look bad on that map. Optic pick bind, drx breeze, the rest dont matter what order

I think DRX have a stronger map pool this tournament and h2h their players diff everyone on Optic except yay but yay cant do everything alone. I see DRX winning 3-1

Optic - Pearl
DRX - Haven
Optic - Bind (DRX also have an amazing Bind but i will bet on Optic)
DRX - Fracture
DRX - Breeze
Optic/DRX - Icebox (last time Optic managed to win this map against DRX but DRX icebox looks better after they lost to Fnatic)
DRX - Ascent

I think it's like that

DRX have not showed their Pearl yet, Optic did. DRX can do an amazing counter strat surprising Optic because they don't know how they play it
I think the picks will be: Fracture (both teams are good), Pearl (DRX will try to counter strat), Ascent, Haven (optic will try to counter strat), Icebox. Not in that order

I think Optic will ban Breeze and DRX will ban Bind

If DRX were willing to play Pearl, I think they’d have banned Fracture against FPX today. They’ve seen FPX play Pearl twice and had a two-day break so my guess is they continue to ban it and take their chances on Bind (where they only lost 11-13 to OpTic in their last match)
