Grandfinals Oprah Winfrey Network vs As Foretold by Rayman5000 Maps The map pool this season has been Ashville, Swiftwater, Cascade, Vigil, Product, Upward, and Steel. chad bans, [o.W.n] bans, [o.W.n] picks, chad picks, chad bans, [o.W.n] picks.
1. chad bans VigilSmartest and the most obvious choice for chad to make after losing to oWn 2-1 on vigil during their match.
2. [o.W.n] bans ProductGood choice from [o.W.n] to ban Product considering they were 6-0d by chad during scrims on the map.
3. [o.W.n] picks SwiftwaterOdd decision considering [o.W.n] dropped a round to a now deceased Garage Band. However, chad also won on Swiftwater against a Luigi’s Real Italian Ices, which is also dead.
4. chad picks Ashville Great decision from chad to pick Ashville. Their strongest aspect is their flank, with
J_peg and
shohh being terrifying. Amplifying their powers with Ashville is a great decision.
5. chad bans SteelSafe ban considering [o.W.n]’s dominance on the map, 3-0ing Plan B earlier in the season, while chad dropped a round to Swift Inc. in their match.
6. [o.W.n] picks CascadeCascade is a great map for demo, so [o.W.n] picking it to enable
Joey is a great decision. They just need to shut down WiLLmaTiC.
Players Scout: rk vs J_pegJ_peg has absolutely dominated during matches this season, constantly being a top fragger on his team. rk shares these same traits consistently top fragging his team and being an enabler for pushes. However, J_peg works extremely well with
shohh whereas rk doesn’t seem to work with his
Soldier as much as he should.
Verdict: Slight advantage J_peg
Soldier: r4t vs shohhShohh is amazing on the flank, not only being another top fragger during scrims and matches but working well with
J_peg too. r4t just hasn’t shown the fragging ability that shohh has had throughout the season.
Verdict: Advantage shohh
Pyro: Raptior vs gobitoeBoth pyros keep the spy quiet and deny soldier bombs. Raptior plays an extremely passive pyro to keep his combo protected, while gobitoe plays a more aggressive pyro that can get him caught out at bad times, letting his team suffer.
Verdict: Slight advantage Raptior
Demo: Joey Lemons vs FunkyWhile Funky is a great demo, Joey Lemons is the core of his team. Joey has rarely had a bad performance while top damaging
and top fragging during most of his scrims and matches. He has the edge and the DM experience that Funky lacks in some regards.
Verdict: Advantage Joey Lemons
Heavy: nurkz vs SebbersBoth heavies keep their medic safe and try to follow up on their
Demo’s damage the best they can, but Sebbers has popped off a couple times and could turn the tides of any bad situation very quickly.
Verdict: Slight advantage Sebbers
Engie: R4bbit vs FlemlaskiFlemlaski frags a bit harder while keeping his building alive. Not to say R4bbit doesn’t, but Flemlaski does it better.
Verdict: Advantage Flemlaski
Medic: Manslaughter vs tjIn scrims and matches, tj overall had better heals per minute and dropped less. Manslaughter still did well, but tj had slightly better heals overall and better heal spreads.
Verdict: Slight advantage tj
Sniper: MAF vs WiLLmaTiCWiLLmaTiC has consistently outsniped all the other snipers in main, top fragging in many scrims and matches, while being an enabler for his team. In scrims against each other, WiLLmaTiC has outsniped MAF with relative ease nine times out of ten.
Verdict: Large advantage WiLLmaTiC
Spy: Stardust vs Sylon[DMS]Both spies have been relatively quiet this season. Neither has gone huge in their matches but have been able to do their jobs well. In their logs against each other, both
spies were generally even in frags.
Verdict: Tie
OverallI haven’t been following Main at all, and only took on this article per WiLLmaTiC’s request. I tried my best to give the most accurate class comparisons and predictions that I could base on logs from matches and logs from scrims of chad and [o.W.n] against each other. This should be relatively easy for chad to take. Unless Joey Lemons has an ace up his sleeve, I don’t see how they will be able to take this one home.
Swiftwater: 2-1 chadAshville: 3-1 chadCascade: 3-2 chad
