ESEA MDL Season 27 North America ,

Today I will be taking a break from IEM Katowice, as my predictions have fallen short of my expectations. Fnatic has trumped both of the teams I put against them. Teams G2 and Faze have fallen to the Sweeds and my hat is off to them. I will be doing more predictions as the event progresses, however for now I will be directing my attention to the ESEA MDL Season 27 for North America. In this tip, it will be specifically aimed at the best of one game between Torqued and Subtle.

Torqued :

Torqued have been doing well so for in their quest to be the leader of the ESEA MDL Season 27 North American champions. They currently reside in third place overall and will want to continue that lead today with their game against Subtle. For those unaware, Torqued is made up of a combination of ex-IBUYPOWER players and ex-CLG members. This team has a lot of potential to be a high ranking international team, but as of right now they have to slum through the rankings in order to get a chance at the big leagues.

Torqued's maps are as followed ; Mirage is 3-4, Inferno is 4-3, Cobblestone is 1-2, Nuke is 1-1, Train is 1-1, Cache is 1-0, and Overpass is the perma ban.

Subtle :

Subtle is a team that right now, is not preforming. They are comprised of many new and familiar faces in the North American Counter Strike scene. The most familiar face to me being that of OCEAN's. OCEAN, though not a stellar performer by any means, does a wonderful job at recruiting young talent into the scene. In my personal view of him, he got Stewie2k of Cloud9 to where he is now. I'm not sure if it is OCEAN's goal to get players noticed by top organizations, but he does a damn good job at doing so.

Subtle's maps are as followed ; Mirage is 2-4, Cobblestone is 1-2, Overpass is 1-2, Train is 0-1, and maps Cache, Nuke, and Inferno have not been played by this squad in recent form.

Map Pick/Ban :

This is a best of one series and with that being said we will see six bans and one decider. Since Sublte hasn't played Nuke, Inferno, or Cache, we will assume those maps will be banned out. Torqued will want to ban out the best maps for Subtle and will go with Mirage, Cobblestone, and Overpass. Leaving Train as the deciding map.

Final Thoughts:

Though both of these teams have a lot of work to do in order to be recognized in the pro scene, Torqued has a much better overall chance to take this game. As I feel Subtle is only a team that is made to get more attention from other higher tier organizations. We may see some great individual play from the members of Subtle, however Counter Strike is a team game, and Torqued is clearly the better team. Medium bet on Torqued.
