Today's Dragon Teng Cup Semifinals doubles will feature eStar vs. AG, and for the two teams, this is the second time they have played in the Champions League Doubles. In terms of map pools, how do the two teams behave differently?
【Multi-map strong win, eStar takes the initiative】
With eStar qualifying for the group stage with a total win record, this means that eStar maintains this winning percentage on different maps. For eStar, in the upcoming BO5 game, it is clear that eStar has the initiative on the map.
The map with the most games on eStar so far is Black Town, which beat EDG, R.LGD and Q9 10-2, 10-6 and 10-6 respectively. Judging from the performance of these three sets, in addition to the initiative of the defender to control the game, eStar can disrupt the opponent's occupation through multi-point blossom tactics when acting as a lurker, and the higher score difference also highlights eStar's strength in black towns.
In addition to the Black Town, eStar also beat R.LGD 10-3 in the power station. It is worth mentioning that in this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack map, eStar has an advantage of 5 points when acting as a lurker, which shows that eStar finds its own suitable rhythm in the map of the power station. For eStar, the strength of Black Town, Power Station, Desert Ash and New Desert TD is enough to help eStar win the first round of the Semifinals double.
[Multi-map narrowly wins the opponent, AG still needs to adjust itself]
In contrast, although AG ranked second in the group stage, its overall performance was inferior to that of eStar. At present, AG is competing in the Power Supply Station, Black Town, Satellite Base, Chinatown and New Desert TD, of which the Power Supply Station has a 100% win rate in 1 round, the Black Town has a 3 round win rate of 67%, the Satellite Base has a 50% win rate in 2 sets, and Chinatown and New Desert TD have a 100% win rate in 1 round.
Through the above description, it can be seen that AG has a greater chance of winning in black towns and satellite bases. However, in these two maps, even if AG wins the opponent, the point difference is controlled within 2-3 points, which shows that AG is difficult to absolutely suppress the opponent in the game. For AG, when encountering eStar, it is also necessary to consider finding a breakthrough when serving as a lurker camp, so as to improve the chances of AG winning.
For AG, if the ascetic sniper suppression force can be used in the new desert TD to form the fire defense line of the AG in the secondary road, then the AG will be expected to score points from eStar in the new desert TD.
Looking at the map pool comparison between the two teams, eStar has a higher initiative, but this does not mean that eStar can despise AG. In the upcoming final four doubles, it will be eStar's unsurprising victory or AG's full go-to-go to qualify for the promotion, let us wait and see.
