Current form of the teams

Nemiga comes into this match ranked 45th in the world according to world rankings. Their recent performance has been a mixed bag, with a win rate of 57% overall and 55% over the past year. However, in the recent half-year, their win rate has dipped to 48%. Nemiga’s recent form shows a win streak of one match, and they have earned $33,000 in the last six months, placing them 51st in earnings. In their last five matches, they have a record of three wins and two losses. They recently defeated M80 2:0 but suffered a close loss to 3DMAX. Their victory over MIBR was a highlight, showcasing their ability to compete against higher-ranked teams.

HEROIC, on the other hand, holds the 13th spot in the global rankings. They boast a solid overall win rate of 63%, maintaining consistency with a 62% win rate over the past year. However, their recent month win rate has slightly dropped to 55%. Despite a current win streak of zero, HEROIC’s earnings in the last six months amount to a substantial $296,000, ranking them 7th. Their recent matches include a narrow defeat to TYLOO and a loss to B8, but they managed to secure a victory against BetBoom Team. HEROIC’s recent form indicates some inconsistency, but their high ranking and earnings reflect their potential strength.

Despite the already announced departure of SunPayus and coach sAw, the team remains in good spirits. The Spanish AWPer is actually playing one of his best tournaments of 2025. So, if all HEROIC players approach the match with full focus and dedication, their chances of winning are quite high.
