then win in a bo5 100%
loud will have to play 3 out of fracture/bind/split/haven
even icebox could have gone either way
so i think if optic reaches finals they win for sure
but i think there is a huge chance they throw like they usually do
Their Bind and Haven are not bad though. Liquid is strong on Haven and Bind is one of their best maps too (don't know why they have not been playing it)
Fracture and Split are the real problems, but they can fix it.
I mean, I don't think Bind will be like Fracture, that's what I'm saying. LOUD would get stomped by OPTC on Fracture and Split. Haven and Bind would be close but could go either way around just like this Icebox.
IMO only Ascent is a map that LOUD would have a 80% for a win against them.
but then why are others saying bind is loud's best map?
and optic have been beating everyone in icebox as well
maybe optic beat loud in bind on scrims?
Optic has high win rate second time around. They usually get washed first game then win the second and are known for counter-strating. I’d say the only exception was X10 in champs. As long as they have prep time and make it to grands they will be fine imo.
