Masters Bangkok Rd2 preds with maps

1. DRX vs VIT
   DRX have the best map veto against VIT out of all the #1 seeds. Both teams hate Pearl but VIT have never played it and 1st banned almost every game. DRX on the other hand played Pearl once and looked horrible but with them showing how fast they can fix their Lotus they should be able to float Pearl and ban VIT's best map which I think is bind. So:
   DRX ban Bind
   VIT ban Pearl
   DRX pick Abyss
   Vit pick Split
   DRX ban Haven
   Vit ban Lotus
   Fracture 3rd map

DRX have a high chance of 2-0 this series but I think they lose in case this goes to 3rd map and VIT should win if it is Fracture. DRX have higher chance of winning if the 3rd map is Haven or Lotus. Overall 55/45 in favor of VIT

2. EDG vs G2
   EDG ban Abyss
   G2 ban Bind
   EDG pick Haven
   G2 pick Lotus
   EDG ban Fracture
   G2 ban Split
   Pearl remains

Honestly this series is very hard to predict for map veto and who is better at the remaining 5 maps. EDG should be better on Haven and Split, G2 should be little bit better at Lotus and Fracture. Pearl is 50/50 but I think G2 has more experience of playing Pearl and I am gonna favour G2 by 52/48. Every map should be close in this series.

3. T1 vs TE:
   T1 ban Abyss
   TE ban Fracture
   T1 pick Haven
   TE pick Bind
   T1 ban Split
   TE ban Pearl
   Lotus remains

TE have the best veto against T1 out of #2 seeds. Both of these teams dont like Split and Abyss, both of them love Lotus and Bind, both of them are uncomfortable on Pearl. I think whoever just shows up that day wins this series but I think TE will for sure win Bind and scrape 1 of the other 2 maps. So 60/40 for Trace

4. Sen vs TL
   Sen ban Fracture
   TL ban Pearl
   Sen pick Lotus
   TL pick Abyss
   Sen ban Haven
   TL ban Bind
   Split 3rd map.

I think TL has to win in 2 because if Sen is in a form that can win a map, they should be able beat any team in their best map as their 3rd map. This game more than any game comes down to form at the day, because if both of these teams play like they played in round 1 TL should win. I feel like Keiko, Kamo and Nats were on form against EDG, but only Bang was on form in the 2nd map against DRX, johnqt was shooting ok for an igl but his calling was way off. If sen show their form from their games against MIBR and G2 they should win comfortably because they have much higher peak than TL but if any other SEN shows up they are cooked. Overall, 55/45 for Sen, I just have faith Sen will bounce back.

i dont think EDG will pick haven. 26-0 sure but still its still really untested

Pearl 50/50 for g2/edg?? G2 has by far the best pearl itw.
