I have faith that Dallas can take this series, just depends on if they decide to show up and play.
3-1 Fuel
Winter Wonderland 2017
Eichenwald: Gladiators should take this map, Dallas Fuel has yet to win Eichenwald
Anubis: Fuel has taken the top teams to double and sometimes triple overtime on this map. I think they will win this one.
Oasis: Fuel took this map from NYXL and dominated Dragons on this map. They should win this one easily.
Dorado: Could go either way, but I'm betting on Gladiators. Fuel has only won this map once and that was with a full hold.
Lijang: If we go to this map, I think Fuel can win. Fuel has looked really good on KOTH maps.
Overall score: 3-2 Fuel
I think, at the very least, not having EFFECT for these last two games will prove a good training exercise for the Fuel. They need to learn to not rely on his carry and they need every single member of the team to be putting in their equal part, and I think not having him for these games will help them with that.
