This gonna be the finals i guess..will be a great match but the guard will win the whole thing.
no it was just the fact that DRX were able to so easily counterstrat them. Zeta couldnt respond cause DRX is just so good at completely shutting down a teams strategy. They didnt come nearly as prepared as they thought they did and it cost them. We saw the same with NIP, they are quite a decent team but they got rolled by DRX because of DRXs potential to just not allow you to do the plays you want to. Theyre superior to every other team rn in the playoffs at taking space on the map and getting info, those two things combined is what makes them look like theyre smurfing.
The only thing DRX lack is a consistent showing of high skill gunplay. Their players are great but often times they just dont show up like they usually do or they need to do, and when all their players just arent feeling it, they easily fall apart as shown in the VS v GMB match
Im p sure rn KRU would make it for worst team alongside NIP. Also it isnt about them defeating the 2 worst teams, its about the way they played, the discipline they were able to play with, the cohesiveness in game plan and execution. Clearly if you dont think DRX right now have by far the highest chance to win the tourney out of the teams in playoffs then you just dont understand how to properly analyze the teamplay shown by the top teams.
I honestly think the guard isnt gonna win a match specifically because they got unlucky with the guaranteed opponents theyre facing. Theyll face Optic which im p sure are gonna roll them if they play like they did the other day against XIA, and then they have to go against most likely PRX or DRX, both of those teams being teams that could easily roll The Guard (more so PRX)
PRXs style is super aggressive and hard to counter with solid and cohesive teamplay which is what TG are so good at doing. Their prep and their good comms will be completely run over by PRX and the extreme speed and chaos that they cause in game.
So yea honestly if TG cant win against Optic, theres literally no hope of them getting to the finals, especially considering the fact that they dont have any LAN experience from any of their players.
