just watched the tmv video and he’s 100% correct. sen need to fix their map pool if they want to win madrid. like at least make icebox and ascent better
Bind is also ass from them tbh. I never looked at their Bind like "wow, that was impressive" for any of their rounds. It's a very easy map for some teams, and those teams will ABUSE Bind if they get the chance. It looks weak and easily anti-stratted, I think they give up Yoru or opt for a surprise comp including Yoru.
Yeah maybe teams get cocky for no reason but yeah I definitely think teams like Paper Rex, EDG and KC want to find out how good their split actually is. The other teams will probably ban it and test how good their Sunset is.
Looking at it teams like KC, Gen.G even Heretics and EDG have pretty good map pool into Sentinels
I think people when it comes to rating sen map pool, they dont take in consideration the fact that sen have actually played the hardest teams in the americas at least, so when they look bad it does not necessarily reflect their true skill level (yeah i believe sen's ascent map is very bad and they need to work on it but apart that i think they are fine with all the other maps )
Nah bro EMEA's Breeze, Lotus and even Icebox is easily better than Americas'
Their split and sunset are really damn good but those maps are literally good maps for a lot of teams at Madrid like KC, PRX and EDG.
What you said is probably true for Ascent but yeah their Ascent looked really bad so I don't think it matters.
Bind is a middle-ground map where all regions can beat each other
? Lol? Icebox is there perms ban and they lost to Loud and NRG on ascent , both who those teams picked that map because it’s there best map… Loud had the element of surprise and NRG ethan just was god for some reason.
Lotus, Split, Sunset Bind are perfectly fine
they 2 times they played breeze one was pointless and the other one they played better after the timeout so whatever they did after that keep doing but
World Class on Sunset and Split,
Lotus looks good
Ascent can be fixed with review,
Bind is inconsistent I think they were hiding strats a bit besides the LEV game,
Icebox is good considering Icebox is LOUD's best map statistically that is in the pool Haven is the only map better at 88% winrate,
Breeze needs change like Yoru.
wait a sec. how tf they have circuit points cuz of play ins?. u get points for only winning final. same for madrid. u will get circuit points after split 1 when u start winning against other team(1 pt each win). so it was very important cuz u need nearly 8-10 points to confirm your champs and 3 is a big number. so i dont think they were like we already going madrid so lets stop trying. and even when they were 1 maps up against 100t they still would ve definitely started using new strats cuz u never know what other teams hae cooked for split and 100t's split looked good against lev. they definitely didnt have new strats for bind
