Gen.G vs Sentinels – Map Select

Winning the upper bracket final gave Gen.G the map veto advantage. The South Koreans took full advantage of the fact and banned Lotus and Sunset – maps where Sentinels had strong results at this event.

This is a tough map pool for Sentinels, and they will need to bring a strong look to secure a grand final victory. 

Gen.G vs Sentinels – Map 1

Gen.G opted for their classic double-Duelist composition with Jett and Yoru and continued to go for their unusual Astra pick. Sentinels’ composition, on the other hand, is a more common one we usually see compared to their opponent’s double-Controller pick. 

The first half ended with a 7-5 score in Gen.G’s favor, as they started on attack and won the pistol. There were several clutch plays from the South Koreans, including the 3K from Kim “Karon” Won-tae. Their post-plants looked strong with utilities from Viper, Astra and Sova.

Sentinels evened the scoreline to 7-7 by winning the pistols in the second half but quickly lost the grip after losing against an eco. Although the North Americans looked much better than their last time playing this map, Gen.G were the better team by a good margin.

After the eco loss, the South Koreans did not allow a single round to go in favor of their opponents, with Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom shutting down Sentinels multiple times while defending B on Viper.
