Map results

Sunset

NRG took Sunset 13-10 in a controlled opening map. keiko's 271 ACS and 1.37 series rating were the primary individual drivers of NRG's Map 1 control - his output across Sunset establishing the individual scoring platform that NRG's system built their structural round advantages around. The 3-round winning margin reflected a map where keiko's consistent first-contact system created the economy advantages that 100 Thieves could not consistently overcome across the second half.

Icebox

100 Thieves levelled the series on Icebox 13-11 - Cryocells posting a 1.32 rating and 211 ACS in the most competitive map of the series. The 2-round winning margin reflected a tight map where Cryocells' individual output gave 100 Thieves the carry scoring they needed to edge the round count before Haven's decider.

Haven

Haven was the series decider. NRG closed 13-11 with keiko delivering his most decisive individual performance of the series - his critical Haven output giving NRG the 2-round margin that their first series win of Stage 1 required. His +21 kill differential across the full series was the highest individual K/D advantage of the match - reflecting a player whose consistent first-contact system across all 3 maps gave NRG the individual platform that their 0-2 opening Stage 1 record had not previously revealed.

Standout performances

keiko posted a 1.37 series rating with 271 ACS and a 60/39 K/D across the series - the highest individual rating of the match and the decisive factor in NRG's first Stage 1 series win. His +21 kill differential was the most dominant individual K/D advantage of either team in the match - confirming his individual ceiling is significantly above the baseline that NRG's 0-2 opening record had suggested.

skuba posted a 1.17 rating and 209 ACS - the second highest NRG individual output giving them 2 players above 1.15 simultaneously and confirming their collective depth extends beyond keiko's primary carry role.

Cryocells posted a 1.32 rating and 211 ACS for 100 Thieves - the standout individual performance on the losing side and the primary driver of their Icebox map win. His competitive output confirmed his individual ceiling is genuine but his team's supporting system was not sufficient to convert his Icebox performance into a series win across Haven's decider.
