After battling online for 4 Months the Season 3 League Playoffs are finally set! Here’s how the round 1 matches will break down. 1st starting with the leagues
Final Results:
nV
Rise
Optic Gaming
Optic Nation
FaZe
Denial
Noble
Most Wanted
So this is how the matches will go. According to seeding 1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th, 3rd plays 6th, and 4th plays 5th. With that in mind the round 1 matchups we have are
Team EnvyUs vs Most Wanted
Rise vs Noble
Optic Gaming vs Denial
Optic Nation vs FaZe
We will go in depth and see how this match has the potential to pan out.
Team EnvyUs vs Most Wanted – Although this match is one of the easier one, nV needs to take it seriously. MW has a fast paced play style (similarly to Denials) and if they can get nV to play at their tempo, they can easily take a dom map. When comes to SND nV should be the victor as their strats are better and nV’s more patient. Blitz can go either way, with formal’s slaying or Merk’s capping, if nV wins those crucial battles they should win. I predict nV to come out victorious, with a 3-1. However, if boys in blue are not on top of their game, MW can take this match.
Rise vs Noble is the next match. I think, given the recent performances from both of these teams on LAN that this will be an entertaining match. Before seeing Rise dominate at UMG Nashville, I would have given this match to Noble. But now, with the addition of Attach, Rise has proven they’re not just online warriors. The nV and MW match was games modes, this match will be determined by matchups! Rise consists of Wheats, Loony, Pacman and Attach v Noble that is Sender, Slasher, Chino and
Next analysis will be between Optic Gaming vs Denial. I think this will be a great series of 2 titan teams. If we go by maps, Dom can go either way, if scump and proof turn up Optic will take it but if Saints and Zoomaa go off the game goes to Denial. SND’s should go to Denial on the backs of Studyy and Zoomaa. Blitz can go either way, however, I feel Denial has a better win percentage. So who will win? Let’s take a look at the head to head matchups!
Zoomaa vs Proofy - Zoomaa wins this 3 out of 4 times
Saints vs Scump - Tie, Saints and Scump were 1 & 2 during Nashville
Studyy vs Clayster - Studyy edges Clay out, SND
Replays vs Nadeshot – Tie, both obj players can turn up
I’m going to push Denial past Optic in this matchup, however, Optic can take it if Denial isn’t careful.
Last is Optic Nation vs FaZe. This match I already one of my favorites because it features the dominant Impact Team. FaZe has Karma and Parasite, Nation has Killa and Miracles (Mirx). FaZe is faster, more aggressive and light years better as respawn. If Nation doesn’t steal a respawn and force a game 5, FaZe should have no problem closing this series 3-1.
That does it for the preview, stay tuned for the final predictions. Do you agree with the winners I have coming out of each match? Who would you Pick?
