OpTic Texas vs Los Angeles Guerrillas

Out of the 4 series on Thursday, only 2 of them are truly exciting. This is one of them. The match is interesting, I think recent form in mind I trust OpTic to win both the HP's more than I do LAG both the snd's.

Win Condition for the underdog: I'd still consider LAG the underdog, and in saying that they need to make sure OpTic don't get too much momentum. Try to grind away to a game 5 at the least, which you're hoping they break down given their game 5 form of late.

If OpTic want to win the event, you need to win this series 3-0, 3-1 can do it if you win map 2.

OpTic v LAG:

Sub Base hp, 6 Star Snd, Invasion Control*, 6 Star HP, Karachi Snd

3-1 for Optic. I personally think Optic win first 2 maps, lose map 3, win map 4.

Bans HP:

OpTic Bans KRACHI HP,

LAG Ban RIO HP

Picks HP:

OpTic Picks SUB BASE HP

Bans Snd:

Picks Snd

OpTic Pick KARACHI SND

LAG Pick 6 STAR SND

*Control Pick:

*Invasion Control.

I can see a world where this goes to a Karachi or a Highrise. Truth is OpTic's control form is weird as fuck. They were godlike at Karachi then lost a few and played Highrise over Karachi vs Heretics. In Highrise they looked decent at it, then got stomped 3-0 by Heretics on it. And Invasion is always up and down. This is the only mode I think goes depending on scrims.
