well... he also went CT in his last two. I asked both the teams he played. I went normal which gives me a huge advantage right off the bat. I dont hink he would go normal in the second game because he is down 0-1 and needs the win in game 2.
It depends - is his goal winning the series or forcing a third game? I think if he's more interested in winning that he's got to try to give himself the best chance of winning game 3 on the road, and hoping that he can piece together a win at home in game two with the PON. If it's about the economic effects, he definitely puts it all into game 2.
Of course, I'm not sure everyone looks at it this way. I just know that if I lose game one and I can't win game three, winning game two does nothing for me. I'd rather set up to make the best run possible at game three and hope for a little luck at home, rather than go all out at home and hope to pull out the miracle on the road with lower enthusiasm.
