Titan vs. Natus Vincere | BO1 | 14.01.15 | 20:00 CET

Titan: Obviously we haven't seen much play from them since KQLY's vac ban that knocked them out of DHW 2014. Nuke should be a pretty great map for them though, and if they get CT side first GG.

kennyS: Clearly a hard carry for Titan. Unfortunately, his entry fragging isn't always enough. While he plays well and drops 20 kills or more each game, often his team hasn't been able to provide him the support he needs lately. RpK is supposed to help change that, but he hasn't really been tested yet and we can't assume that he'll come up big here.

Ex6TenZ: He's a great IGL, respected by many, but he too has been a factor in Titan's slump. I don't know too much about him lately, but hopefully we'll see something better out of him this time. Last 5 maps were very on and off for him except nuke where he performed well.

Maniac: Not doing so great for Titan. Has a lot of off-games and hasn't been a major factor in their wins.

RpK: All eyes are going to be on him this game, as it's his chance to show if he's already up to speed of if he'll need some work. He hasn't even played the game in two or so years, but according to interviews with him he's been playing 8 or more hours a day and really training to play with Titan, he's fully committed. We can't expect amazing results yet though, so don't count on him for much.

apEX: Not great, not bad, hopefully if he can come up with some frags things should go a bit more smoothly. If kenny can prefer up to his standard then Titan really just needs to work as a team and play off the entries, so hopefully apEX can contribute to that.

Na'Vi: I have never in my life been able to predict Na'Vi too well, they play great one game, proving that they're top 5 by shattering Dignitas, but sometimes they lose to the strangest teams as well. Nuke is a bad map for them though, so that's in Titan's favor.

seized: Like I said, I don't know much about Na'Vi. seized seems like a solid player though. His past 5 maps have shown him performing under his average, which could be bad for Na'Vi.

GuardiaN: The star of Na'Vi. His awp can shatter teams, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's better than kenny's. Often he just feels off and won't awp, which can destroy Na'Vi, and I think the presence of kenny's awp is really going to hurt his play.
