Map result

Mirage

Mirage was defined by the contrast between NRG's individual output and Legacy's collective system. Grim was the standout individual performer of the map, posting a 1.71 rating and 99.9 ADR in a performance whose individual ceiling confirmed he was generating the individual contributions NRG required to stay competitive across the map's 23 rounds. Despite his output giving NRG the primary aggressive platform whose activation kept the scoreline competitive into the closing rounds, Legacy's n1ssim was the decisive individual factor whose late-round contributions determined the result. His high-impact site holds and critical multi-kills in the rounds where NRG needed to convert their individual momentum into round wins broke NRG's economy at the specific points where their system required the economic recovery that n1ssim's multi-kills specifically prevented. Legacy closed Mirage 13-10 in a result whose scoreline reflected a map where NRG's individual output from Grim was the highest of any player across the game while Legacy's collective system and n1ssim's clutch contributions gave the defending champions the structural platform their opening day advancement required.
