22 September at 15:25 Oslo · by the CS Edge model

Every call we publish goes up before the match and stays up afterwards, right or wrong. This is the reasoning behind B8 vs Luminosity at Logitech G Play Connect 2026.

Our call: B8 to win — 80% (a medium-risk pick)

How it ended

Luminosity won 0–2. ❌ Our call was wrong — we said B8 at 80%.

TBA — –

B8

✅ Dust2 strength: 73% winrate over 11 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Mirage (69% pick rate)

✅ Strong recent form: 18 wins in last 25 (79%) shows momentum

❌ Practically never plays Anubis (100% banned), reducing veto flexibility

Luminosity

✅ Nuke strength: 67% winrate over 6 maps is a strong tactical pick

✅ Reliably steers the veto to Dust2 (80% pick rate)

❌ Only 20% winrate on Inferno over 5 maps — exploitable in the veto

❌ Heavy Cache ban usage (68% bans) limits their map bargaining

❌ Weak head-to-head (0% versus B8) undermines matchup confidence

Head to head

B8 and Luminosity have met 81 times in the period we track — B8 81, Luminosity 0.
