No way fnatic lose more than 1 map in finals. Eg has no experience they'll shiver on stage likewise fnatic gave always been the designated chokers but after that came back from 3-11 they look so good

Very similar map vetos.
Fnc will always ban pearl.

I think that fnatic would pick haven before fracture though.

well i thought about that but its like would FNC ban their own strong map? and split can go either ways becoz of its layout and how many close matches split provide

thus i kept bind and banned split

FNC already beat PRX on bind, can be a possibility, but I see FNC wanting to play Haven goes of PRX perma ban. I remember f0rsakeN goes full mental on the team about losing on Haven vs DRX on their vlog saying stuff like "who cares we lost haven, they play this map for like 6months etc"

this is going to be the last time we see pearl in international stage for this year. i think fnatic will have something cooked up if they face eg.

what i mean is they'll ban
split and fracture

well i like your idea but would you wanna risk it against one of the best team on pearl?

according to theory, FNC can cook all the strats up their sleeves but EG wouldnt be able to do so as there are no vods for FNC's Pearl

see idk how well you know fnatic. but fnatic did the same with breeze last year. they perma banned it throughout the year and then used it when it mattered the most. they had that neon breach comp, which was actually insane and greatly shocked the enemies.

pearl is a very basic map though, hit B 80% of the time, and hope you can kill the defuser.
mini has already cleared that they have something cooked up on pearl, but to what extent that is, we dont know.

after todays loss at fracture and close split, i really think they might do this.
