loud looks better on ascent, icebox while optic looks better on fracture, and bind. Split and Breeze are perma bans of both teams respectfully. On paper a 2-2 for the 4 maps and then a decider on haven in which optic is looking good but judging louds performance on Haven against TL, they were not looking comfortable on it. This was mainly because of Nivera's aggressive chamber play and Loud just couldnt counter it and I see it being the same with Victors unorthodox Neon plays which Loud clearly isn't comfortable with. This way Optic will win unless Loud can win either fracture (unlikely) or bind (possible since bind is a shitty map).

The other way loud can surprise us is by play their veto map (unlikely) but optic will destroy loud on split since their neon strats on split are still not really out there and optic is still gonna keep banning breeze on which loud is looking good.

on paper this should be a close match but optic is gonna win. The only way to not lose is for aspas to go nuclear on haven, drop a 30 bomb and take the W.
Tomorrows only logical prediction
possible but i dont think loud will shift their perma ban from split to fracture, even if they did, the outcome is most likely will be the same, if i was loud i would rather play fracture again(this time more familiar with what optic is going to do) instead of taking a risk on split in which optic has played and won before.
I am saying that relatively, optic has more experience on haven and to me personally LOUD seems to be more prepared for meta comps (ascent and icebox optic plays default comps (better knowledge of what the enemy team can do) but they just dont know what to do against non meta picks on certain maps (chamber on haven, no counter)( Neon on fracture, no counter) but against normal comps LOUD seems to dominate so thinking of it this way, Haven goes to Optic. But i want loud to make me eat my own words and BR to win so
