In the "Road to the Front" of the finals of the two teams of AG and eStar released by the crossfire event on April 16, in addition to the first data in the team and the moment of the continuous killing, the map data is also proving the team level. Then this time we will carry out the map data interpretation of the two finals teams.
[AG map pool is deeper, eStar is afraid to fall into its rhythm]
We observed that the map pool of the AG team was significantly deeper than that of the eStar team, and their most infrequently chosen and mediocre map of the season was the New Desert TD, while the Blast mode map had a 90% win rate for the Exotic Town - World Champion Q9 in 10 sets, hawkeye for 10 sets for 70% win rate, and Satellite Base for 10 games had an 83% win rate. In the more recent CFCLS18 season, team AG's Port-CFS and Black Town-CFS have become "preferred maps", which shows that they have a delicate study of multiple match maps.
On the other hand, the eStar team, their best-performing map this season is a 75% win rate for satellite bases to play 8 innings, while Black Town, which has played up to 13 innings, has only a 31% win rate. Compared to the CFCLS18 season, the satellite base is indeed their growth this season, while for the black town they have always maintained a state of "training with battle". In summary, the eStar team's map pool depth is far less than that of the AG team, and how to avoid falling into the rhythm is a major problem they face.
【Can the BAN/PICK link grasp the new desert TD?】 】
As mentioned above, although the eStar team is not as good at the map as the AG team, the new desert TD will be an ace map for their finals. How to explain it? Since the implementation of the new gun rules, the "double sniper combination" has become a necessary configuration for all strong teams, and each excellent double sniper combination has become as dominant as the tiger returning to the forest, and at this point the AG team is far inferior to the mature eStar team of the double sniper system. Even if Ou Ou and Darling have good sniper skills, there is no substitute for their main path and negative position in this map, in other words, the AG team is not inclined to risk using double snipers to xixi and J1E in the new desert TD. So in the map BAN/PICK session, if the eStar team can select the new desert TD into the match map, then they will have a great chance of controlling the rhythm of the map.
On April 17, the official announcement of the final decision scheduled for 19:00 on that day was postponed, so what research will the two teams do in terms of maps during this extended preparation period?
