1) they played against weak LATAM and BR teams... both matches were 2-0 so little strats were prob shown
2) they have shown only 3 maps so teams can't anti strat their breeze, split, haven and their T side Ascent because they only played like 3 T side rounds
3) SEN's icebox has somehow gotten worse from when they played against NV since they seem to be stuck in Masters 2 meta... so I think NV will prob have a better Icebox, we know how bad SEN's Ascent is, Bind is a tie in my eyes, Split is SEN but then they lost to an EU team on Split (EMEA's worst map)... Breeze doesn't matter since NV will ban it... Haven is a map no one chooses anymore I feel like... so I think NV stands a good chance of beating SEN

some people could argue that SEN and NV come from the same region so they know each other’s strats well so it doesn’t matter if NV didn’t show strats, but i don’t think SEN and NV have played each other since challengers 1 so that doesn’t matter anyway
i believe their map pool is relatively the same with some exceptions. both have a weak icebox and extremely strong havens, both have a strong bind and idrk about envy’s split i think it’s eh. SEN will ban ascent and NV will ban breeze. since NV get the first seed, i assume they pick haven bc it’s their best map and then SEN picks split and that could leave NV with a choice: do you pick icebox which you’re weak at but sentinels is too or do you pick bind which you’re strong at but sentinels is too?
