Recent form

NRG: L L L L W - 1 win from their last 5 matches.

NRG arrive with 1 win from their last 5 matches - their recent form reflecting a team whose 0-2 Group Omega record has been their most difficult competitive period of 2026. mada's 269 ACS is the standout individual scoring stat entering this series - the highest ACS of any NRG player and reflecting a player whose raw scoring volume gives NRG their primary offensive output. Their only recent win came specifically against 100 Thieves - their February 2-0 result the most directly relevant confidence reference point entering this series.

100 Thieves: W L L W L - 2 wins from their last 5 matches.

100 Thieves arrive with 2 wins from their last 5 matches including their 2-0 sweep of Sentinels. keiko's 234 ACS is the standout individual scoring stat - a consistent output that gives 100T their primary carry platform alongside Timotino's 1.39 rating system. Their loss to KRÜ - where they failed to win on their own map pick Haven - and their Sentinels 36-round overtime win reflect the variance in their collective system between its floor and ceiling performances.

Head-to-head

NRG lead 100 Thieves 2-0 in 2026 meetings - both wins coming in February. The comprehensive head-to-head advantage gives NRG the data preparation edge and the psychological confidence of having beaten this specific lineup twice in the same year.

What to watch

mada's 269 ACS vs keiko's 234 ACS - the primary carry battle - mada's 269 ACS and keiko's 234 ACS are the highest individual scoring baselines of either team entering this series. The 35 ACS gap between them reflects mada's higher raw scoring volume - but ACS does not account for round impact, first kill rate, or clutch conversion. Whether mada's scoring volume advantage translates into the round-winning first contacts that NRG's system needs to break their Group Omega losing streak - or whether keiko's more measured ACS reflects a player whose round impact beyond scoring gives 100T the more reliable carry platform - is the individual system comparison this series answers.

NRG's 2-0 head-to-head motivation vs 100T's KRÜ loss response - NRG's 2-0 head-to-head from February gives them the preparation advantage of knowing 100T's tactical tendencies in this specific matchup. 100T's KRÜ loss - where they failed to win on their own Haven pick - reflected a collective system gap their coaching staff will have specifically addressed entering this must-win Group Omega series. Whether NRG's February preparation remains relevant to 100T's current system - or whether 100T's tactical adjustment since February has closed the gaps that produced their 2 losses - is the preparation currency question this series determines.
