hm interesting. I can't see that happening that they'll pick Abyss. Even if they haven't seen SEN Abyss yet. I could rather see SEN picking it than TH. They didn't beat any team convincingly, didnt look good against DRX and theres a lot footage to look at. So I would assume they would rather pick Sunset or Bind depending on what SEN will ban. I could also imagine that they won't even ban Ascent first. Thats a hot take maybe but SEN isn't good on that map either and they won't pick it for sure so it can be their second ban. So eventually they ban like Haven/Lotus and Anti Strated the other one. And the Decider will be Icebox then most likely depending if SEN would rather play Icebox or Abyss.
But even with this map pool its still a 50/50 for me. This game will be a lot about momentum and individuals having a good day or not. I feel like TH should've won Icebox atleast against LEV but they made some mistakes/had some unlucky rounds and woot played bad. If they all play like they should be they look scary with also miniboo being in a better form now. But also if zekken is heating up it will be super hard to play against them. Maybe johnqt will midround diff boo.
I feel like it could be a 2-0 for both teams with still pretty close maps but also a 2-1 for both. If SEN hasnt cooked up some wild shit against them I would actually say Heretics has a slight advantage just map pool wise.
But I will cheer for whatever team will win of these 2 and I hope we see an insane run to lift the trophy in the end.
