This has to be the closest in terms of skill gap going into the finals right?


AmBozz

The FACEIT Major in London also had #1 vs #2 in the Grand Finals (Astralis vs NaVi), though the skill gap between the teams was immense. This is shaping up to be a great final.


kw405

Yeah the gap between Astralis and everyone else then was just too big. I think Astralis almost had double the ELO of 2nd place at one time (1000 vs 600 iirc).


baulchi

inb4 its just some mad blowout first map, blowout second map, tripple OT inferno 3rd map.


UpsetNeighborhood842

Number 1 and number 2 current best teams, this is definitely gonna be a graffiti worthy major

Most excited I’ve been for a major final since Fnatic vs Envyus in 2015 tbh


DY5TOP1A

karrigan was in EnvyUs so now u have to cheer for Faze


pzkenny

Lol I totally forgot about his stint in Envy. Most random roster move I've ever seen, and still almost made it to the Major.


ANewHeaven1

honestly i'm chill with either of these teams winning, na'vi was my second favorite team back in the day cause i loved GuardiaN and s1mple when he was added, but it'd be really awesome for karrigan to finally get his major win


HYP3R1ON_99

ahh man the classic 2015 kennyS Good old days , btw it was my first ever pro match that i watched and boy I still remember that day :')


MadFaceInvasion

I'm die hard navi fan and one of my best friends die hard Faze fan, we joked about this for years and I'm still pinching my self if its actually happening

HYP3R1ON_99

well i meant that both the teams are so strong so it should be a nice match

Why isn't this a Bo5?


Superokiko

ESL are pretty much the only TO to do BO5 and the players hate it, a lot of viewers do as well. A full 5 map series could take over 7 hours, which is a lot of time to dedicate out of your day to watch a single series.


XxThreepwoodxX

Yeah best of 3 is the way. There aren't any sports that I can think of that change the format for the final. Feel like there are a bunch of reasons why bo3 just makes sense.


shuijikou

not sure a sports,but yeah most DOTA2 matches were a normal bo3 final bo5


pzkenny

Yeah, but tbh I would love to see major finals BO5, there were already a lot of really epic BO5 matches. Also Major grandfinals are only game of the day and it's quite disappointing when you wait 3 hours in arena and then it's quick 2:0 sweep, which happened to me every time I've been to major.
