Group A's quaterfinal, E-MMENTAL Vs. 4AM Crew. First, E-MMENTAL. Taking over Achyllus' spot from last year, the Swiss org shocked the world with a stellar 8-3 regular season record, the third best in the league. 4AM Crew meanwhile made league history as the first team with a negative win/loss record to make the playoffs. So what is their to expect from this match?
Maps:
When the two met earlier in the season, Anubis was the map played. 4AM Crew did lose after a horrible 13-3 choke, but because of how close they were to closing out the game easily, it is likely they let the map slip through. Additionally, 4AM Crew played that match without sometime, who has proven to be an upgrade over Shadow in the star rifler role. Both teams permaban Vertigo, and 4AM Crew get the first ban so they will likely use it to remove Mirage, a map they have struggled on this year and E-MMENTAL has found quite a bit of success. E-MMENTAL will then need to choose whether or not to ban Vertigo or to let it through. Should they choose not to ban Vertigo it seems likely that Ancient is a likely ban due to limited matches played on the map. 4AM Crew has not played many maps outside of Mirage this year, with 7 of their 11 games being on Mirage. Nuke was a favorite pick for the team in last year's playoffs, but they are yet to play the map this year. They could be saving it as a shock pick in the playoffs, but E-MMENTAL has not been a slouch on the map. Still, Nuke feels the most likely pick for 4AM Crew. E-MMENTAL will likely choose Anubis as it has been their best map this year. For the second round of bans 4AM Crew will likely ban Inferno due to their lack of games on the map, and E-MMENTAL will ban Vertigo or Ancient, whichever they didn't ban first, leaving Overpass as the decider.
