๐ง Team Breakdown โ ECSTATIC
ECSTATIC have been showing solid fundamentals across recent matches. Their defaults are well-paced, they win crucial mid-round battles, and they have enough firepower and utility discipline to close out maps cleanly. They donโt always blow teams out of the water, but they consistently avoid big mistakes, which is gold in BO3s.
Their CT setups tend to be disciplined and communicate well in mid to late rounds โ thatโs the bread and butter of a team that closes maps efficiently.
๐ง Team Breakdown โ MASONIC
MASONIC are a squad with aggressive tendencies and strong individual mechanics. Their best moments come when they can dictate pace, punish opponent errors early, and win key duels around mid-round. When theyโre on point, they can make even structured teams uncomfortable.
The downside is consistency โ slow starts or poor economy control can snowball badly against disciplined teams like ECSTATIC. That can make them vulnerable to resets and limit their ability to recover maps.
So their path to an upset is probably through winning early pistol rounds, securing second rounds, and snowballing momentum before ECSTATIC settle into their rhythm.
