MAPS:

*The first likely two banned maps for this match should include Overpass for G2 and Inferno for Mousesports. I think we see Mirage for G2 and Nuke for Mouse.

*G2 on Mirage (15 Maps): huNter 1.20 Rating, 0.80 KPR, 1.13 IMP, 87.5 ADR. NiKo 1.12, AmaNEk 1.02, nexa 1.00, JaCkz 0.92. On Nuke (7 Maps): NiKo 1.26 Rating, 0.76 KPR, 1.50 IMP, 91.2 ADR. huNter 1.13, AmaNEk 1.11, nexa 0.97, JaCkz 0.90.

*Mousesports on Nuke (11 Maps): frozen 1.24 Rating, 0.79 KPR, 1.40 IMP, 86.8 ADR. ropz 1.17, dexter 1.04, acoR 1.03, Bymas 1.01. On Mirage (12 Maps): frozen 1.23 Rating, 0.84 KPR, 1.16 IMP, 85.8 ADR. ropz 1.15, acoR 1.12, Bymas 1.05, dexter 0.81.

Analysis: G2 has had mouse’s number for quite a minute now and I really don’t see this being much of a different result. Both teams are on winning streaks as of late with Mousesports sweeping their last four matches consecutively and G2 winning their last three-straight by a 2-1 result. I just feel like G2 is the better overall team here and although this could go three maps, I have G2 winning 2-0 or 2-1.

 

Complexity (Ranked 11th in World) @ Sprout (Ranked 30th in World)

*Top Performers For Complexity (3 Maps): k0nfig +41 K-D Diff, 1.66 Rating, 105.9 ADR. blameF +24 K-D Diff, 1.38 Rating, 89.7 ADR.

MAPS:

*The first likely two banned maps for this match should include Train for Complexity and Overpass for Sprout. I think we see Dust2 for Sprout and Mirage for Complexity again.

*Complexity on Mirage (20 Maps): blameF 1.29 Rating, 0.79 KPR, 1.29 IMP, 86.5 ADR. k0nfig 1.19, poizon 1.10, jks 1.03, RUSH 0.85. On Dust2 (8 Maps): blameF 1.18 Rating, 0.73 KPR, 1.09 IMP, 85.9 ADR. k0nfig 1.18, poizon 1.06, jks 0.94, RUSH 0.87.

*Sprout on Dust2 (28 Maps): slaxz 1.21 Rating, 0.73 KPR, 1.29 IMP, 78.2 ADR. faveN 1.20, kressy 1.07, Spiidi 1.06, denis 1.06. On Mirage (15 Maps): faveN 1.27 Rating, 0.84 KPR, 1.33 IMP, 92.1 ADR. slaxz 1.03, kressy 0.98, denis 0.91, Spiidi 0.89.

Analysis: I think this match will be a good one and should go three maps with each team likely winning their map pick. Complexity showed signs of life against Anonymo on Wednesday, so I think they are in this Event still and will likely try to place the highest as possible now. Sprout also played well on Wednesday but was out-lasted in a hell of a three-map affair against a well-playing FPX team. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Sprout get some revenge here with a 2-1 win.
