Reason Gaming and eSuba meet up early to most likely determine who will walk away with the top placing in the group and a second play-off round match-up.eSuba and Reason Gaming are meeting up in the second round, because vital did not show up and thus both teams can avoid a late-night match between the expected numbers one and two of the group.
Reason Gaming was given the choice of what map is to be played and chose mp_crossfire, a map on which eSuba pushed Fnatic to the limit at the SteelSeries Esports Challenge.
Reason Gaming thus seem quite confident and at times, confidence could be mistaken with arrogance, so hopefully they made a contemplated choice and did not just pick mp_crossfire to provoke the Czech team.
Reason Gaming have all the skill to beat them there, though, and especially the long range battle between luckeR and SoCLoN should be something memorable, with both players being close to their best form.
It is unfortunate, though, that they are playing each other in their first matches, thus having the possibility that one of the teams has not warmed up enough and somehow get forced into an early loss. Reason Gaming should have the upperhand in this match, but as soon as they start underestimating eSuba, they will find themselves on a slippery road to a missed opportunity and perhaps giving up the much coveted first place and a direct ticket into the second play-off round.
