Key Takeaways:

  • Team Foot has a surprising win rate on Ascent despite rarely picking the map.
  • Team Heretics’ performance on Sunset raises questions about their consistency.
  • Team Vitality’s high meta score may make them predictable to opponents.
  • Fnatic’s map pool strength lies in Haven, Lotus, and potentially Abyss.

Team Foot: Unconventional Map Pick

Team Foot consistently emerges victorious in every match they’ve played on the map Ascent. However, it comes as a shock that they seldom opt to compete on this map. Their impressive record against tough opponents on Ascent leaves one wondering if they conceal a preferred alternative map.

Team Heretics: Sunset Woes

Team Heretics’ Sunset performances have been erratic. Following a streak of 10 victories, they experienced defeats at the hands of Team Vitality, stirring doubts about their strength on this map. Whether this is a pattern for opponents to follow or just a hiccup versus Team Vitality remains uncertain.

Team Vitality: High Meta Score

Team Vitality, leading the tournament with the highest meta score, might find themselves an easy target for opponents due to their unwavering commitment to default strategies. Their steadfastness is admirable, but it could potentially hinder their ability to adjust and respond effectively to new challenges.

Fnatic: Strong Maps and Potential Abyss

Fnatic possesses a solid collection of maps they perform well on, specifically Haven, Lotus, and Sunset. On the other hand, their results on Icebox, Ascent, and Bind are not as notable. If Fnatic has a strategy for Abyss, they could become a serious threat in the competition.

Pacific Teams: Talon, Paper Rex, DRX, Gen.G

Having watched countless matches, I’ve noticed that their performance varies significantly depending on the map, leaving them vulnerable in the meta.
