Matchup Analysis
Nemesis debut a fully revamped Southeast Asian core
Team Nemesis arrive with a fresh lineup of Ken, JaCkky, Jabz, Jhocam, and NARMAN that was locked in around mid-August 2026, giving this five-man only a short runway together before BLAST Slam.
SourceBoom-or-bust Nemesis form against stronger opposition
In their last five series, Nemesis swept REKONIX but were themselves swept 0–2 by Vici Gaming, Team Spirit, and PARIVISION while splitting 1–1 with MOUZ, highlighting sharp volatility when they step up in class.
Source6seven roll out a brand-new Filipino-majority lineup
Team 6seven field an entirely new roster of Akashi, Mac, Raven, Jing, and ponyo, with all five officially added in the final days of August 2026, meaning this match doubles as an early stress test for their chemistry.
SourceFormer Nemesis core now leads the 6seven project
Akashi, Mac, Raven, and Jing previously carried the Nemesis banner together, including during the organisation’s 2025 campaign and The International 2025 run, so they bring an already proven internal synergy into 6seven’s first big-stage showing.
SourceBLAST Slam knockout bracket amplifies every mistake
This series is part of the BLAST Slam playoff knockout phase, putting Nemesis and 6seven in a win-or-out environment where early drafts and laning-phase gambles carry outsized consequences.
SourceSupport duos could swing vision and tempo
Nemesis lean on the experienced pairing of Jhocam and NARMAN to stabilise side lanes and orchestrate vision, while 6seven’s Jing–ponyo duo steps in from other regional lineups, making the battle between these 4–5 duos central to map control.
SourceContrasting midlane arcs for Ken and Mac
Mac, who joined 6seven from Ivory on August 27, brings veteran mileage into mid just as Ken is settling into his latest opportunity as Nemesis’ young mid laner, setting up a lane clash between an established journeyman and a rising playmaker.
SourcePick Ideas
Prioritise live betting over pre-match moneylines
With two lineups that have limited series history in their current configurations, pre-match prices are unlikely to capture true strength accurately, so consider waiting to see drafts and early-game execution before committing to sides.
Look at total maps instead of picking a side
In a fresh matchup between unfamiliar fives, variance around preparation and comfort can lead to back-and-forth games, making total-maps markets (such as over 2.5 maps in a best-of-three) an appealing way to fade uncertainty on the winner.
Target underdog map handicaps for volatility
Early-stage rosters often trade games as they iron out coordination, so backing the underdog on a +1.5 maps handicap can be a way to capture that volatility without needing them to win the series outright.
Consider objective-focused props like first Roshan or tower
Newer lineups tend to play more cautiously around big fights, which can stretch out early objective timings and create value on markets tied to delayed first Roshan or later first-tier-tower takes.
Keep series exposure modest given the information gap
Because both sides are still defining their identities, it is prudent to treat this match as a low-confidence spot and limit stake sizes, using it more to gather information for future betting than to chase a big edge now.
