playing loud on their 2 best maps
nope. the pool isnt better its just better for this particular matchup. loud typically has to let pearl through which they arent the best at but EDG doesnt pick that map typically. Bind is a weak point for loud too its just not their weakest. EDG isnt good at ascent or lotus which just so happen to be louds first two picks this event. Loud are worse at fracture and pearl but neither are EDG's primary maps. It just works out that EDG's weakpoints are exactly LOUD's strong points and Loud's weakpoints arent really favored by EDG.
