Blasterbl vs Nemiga

🔥 Both teams demonstrated in the opening round that they can take a map off their opponents, but struggle to close out an entire series. Blasterbl dominated the first map against LEGION with a staggering 41–14 kill difference, only to drop the next two maps and lose the match 1–2. On the same day, Nemiga managed to claim a map from MOUZ, but also fell short in the series, losing 1–2.

This is a familiar scenario for Nemiga: back in September, they played out 1–2 results against Team Synapse, Team Lynx, and have often gone the distance in full best-of-three sets. Blasterbl, meanwhile, don’t have much of a recent match history, but their debut series proved they are more than capable of taking a map from a comparable qualifier rival. With that in mind, betting on a third map being played looks like a stronger angle than trying to pick a favourite. Prediction: over 2.5 maps.
