Ascent: EG - how are we going to say LOUD when they got dumpstered by EG and have lost twiceon it? They aren't as good as they used to be; EG beat DRX and LOUD, both formerly n1 on Ascent, in this event. As of this present moment, gotta say they're the best.
Split: NRG/EDG - both look phenomenal on the map at this event, tough to say
Lotus: fnatic - look at their run on Lotus in group stage and at Tokyo. Then look at how they play - they look insane. C9 might be able to compete with them, hard to say though
Bind: PRX/fnatic - with something, I think PRX has to be the best. They beat DRX and NRG this event with a sub. Otherwise, FNC look solid on it
Haven: NRG/EG - NRG have always looked great, their midrounding is nuts, even with this new comp. But look at EG regular season - all tight matches against all great teams, then they beat TL, who is EU's #1 on Haven? Tough to say since we've barely seen it at this event
Pearl: I guess NRG? But who cares, this map is shit
Fracture: EG, no questions asked
So:
EG: Ascent, Haven (?), Fracture
fnatic: Lotus, Bind (?)
NRG: Split (?), Pearl (?), Haven (?)
EDG: Split (?)
PRX: Bind (?)
That being said, separate discussion, but fnatic wins this event with two map advantage.
Against EG:
Ban Fracture, Ban Pearl
Win Bind, Lotus; Haven, Ascent, Split 50/50
Against PRX:
Ban Bind, Ban Fracture
Win Haven, Ascent, Split, Lotus; Pearl 50/50
