On paper this is lopsided: Astralis sit 27 places above Nemiga in the world ranking. Those gaps close more often than people expect, so here is what the numbers say once form, head-to-head and the map pool get a vote.
Nemiga come in ranked #38 in the world, Astralis #11.
✅ Mirage strength: 82% winrate over 17 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Strong recent form: 35 wins in last 46 (80%) shows momentum
❌ Heavy Inferno ban usage (70% bans) limits their map bargaining
✅ Cache strength: 83% winrate over 12 maps is a strong tactical pick
✅ Reliably steers the veto to Ancient (80% pick rate)
✅ Strong recent form: 14 wins in last 23 (65%) shows momentum
❌ Only 17% winrate on Dust2 over 6 maps — exploitable in the veto
❌ Heavy Anubis ban usage (67% bans) limits their map bargaining
Win, pick and ban rates over the last three months. This is where a series is often decided before it starts — a team can steer the veto onto a map the opponent rarely plays.
Mirage — Nemiga's pick
Ancient — Astralis's pick
Nuke — Nemiga's pick
