It looks like rumors of sals canal's death have been greatly exaggerated. An overwhelming 5-1 victory over Dragonball Jav puts them in the lower bracket finals against Knights of Grillz. A better player than me once said that viaduct makes or breaks medics, and I couldn't agree more. The delicate positioning along with the new toys medics got (quick-fix and more recently exhibited vaccinator) have forced teams to expect the unexpected and place the utmost care in protecting their medic. Sparrow has done a very good job in keeping himself alive, having at least half of the deaths compared to the enemy medic in recent playoff games. Having said that, we know that viaduct is actually a demo map, as we've recently seen damage stats go all the way up to 600 damage per minute. In terms of raw damage output, Phrakture is one of the best and will have a good time squeezing every sticky for what it's worth and giving Knights of Grillz a hard time as they climb up that dangerous slope. On the other hand, Knight of Grillz made me eat my words as they played a very close 5-4 game against Chill to Good. In terms of DM, they might have the stronger players. However, viaduct is not always about DM, and some of the pushes of Knights of Grillz have occansionally been questionable. Expect to see tight play revolving around Sparrow from sals canal and every medigun to make its appearance at least once. 4-2 in favor of sals canal.
