NRG V Navi likely map picks

NAVI Ban Haven (perma)
NRG ban Ascent (their worst, NAVI best map)

Navi pick Pearl
NRG pick Lotus

Navi ban Bind
NRG ban Fracture

Split Remains

This pool likely favors NRG but we also really don't know what NAVI will play on split or Lotus. Have played 9 different comps on the two maps but I think Lotus will likely be fade jett vs skye neon, IMO favoring NRG on their map pick. NRG does have strength on Pearl but have been shakier on it recently. It will be the true test of harbors strength, as them beating NAVI on their likely map pick while they don't run it would probably convince the world of Harbor's strength.

Split is where it is interesting because I think NRG win if NAVI doesn't match their double duelist comp. Victor + Ardiis on duelist will just overwhelm the solo Jett IMO, and not running Zyppan Raze would be troll. That, IMO, is the decider, and if Zyppan doesn't come out as Raze on Split I think NRG takes this 2-1(

NRG picking Bind lil bro if it’s not the first ban

Imo nrg pick bind not lotus first

Also, not sure about the first NAVI pick, pearl is a decently strong map for nrg so I can see NAVI going split or fracture

NRG banning fracture

if NAVI pick pearl they're trolling

also why would NRG pick lotus over fracture. lotus is notoriously attack sided and NRG struggled historically on defense. they'd just let NAVI pick attack

As long as Nrg bans ascent this should be free
