its kinda joever for any team in the lowers, no? fracture is a perma win, they can ban 2 of the opponent's best maps, their map pool looking really good overall, they have a vareity of split comps, they cleaned up their lotus
alecks like saving a quirky comps for grand finals (ex: their infamous breeze comp, the ascent comp with reyna for pacific. etc)
prx's fracture isnt bad, but its not nearly as good as eg's. no team has a true "perma" at this time of the year, there is been too much off time for it to happen. but maybe alecks is more confident with fracture than haven, ill just let him cook and hope for the best.
i can def see a reyna comp, jinggg used to be on reyna on haven.
EG winning the upper finals is probably worst case for fnatic?
Veto will likely be:
Which removes what is arguably fnatics two strongest maps from the pool.
Which leaves a map pool of PEARL/FRACTURE/ASCENT/SPLIT/BIND
I could see the order of the map picked change slightly but I believe these would be the maps played.
Fnatic is the 2nd best Fracture team in the world and they've now implemented the Sova as well
Last time they played COM stopped the comeback from Fnatic with that high iq sova ult (made it 12-9 instead of 11-10 + EG broke)
Fracture would definitely not be a guarantee just like Split and Ascent -> Pearl probably goes to EG and Bind probably goes to Fnatic so even with the map veto it's gonna be a 50/50 between EG and Fnatic!
Not against Fnatic imo
Haven -> Fnatic but close
Ascent -> EG but close
Lotus -> probably still Fnatic
Bind -> probably still Fnatic
Split -> very close but Fnatic with the slight edge
Fracture -> EG's best map but Fnatic ain't far behind but probably still EG.
Pearl -> Probably EG since Fnatic permaban but they won't be able to anti-strat Fnatic at all so could be close as well.
