IC struggled to coordinate against Arkansas's slower pace, and the Blue Boy's aggressive style was not as effective as it has been in previous matches. Both maps stayed competitive, but IC couldn't make the adjustments needed to close them out.
These were the Blue Boy's first map losses of the season, giving IC valuable examples of where we need to improve. How IC  coordinates their aggression and adapts to different play styles will be a focus moving forward for the Blue Boys.
