The ranking gap here stands out more than the gap in form, and that is the main argument for the Nemiga +1.5 map handicap at 1.72. Legacy sit second in the Valve ranking, yet they have taken only 5 wins in their last 10 series, losing 1-2 to M80 (22nd) and 0-2 to 1win (38th). Nemiga, 14th, have won 7 of 10 and beat Luminosity (16th) 2-0. Across the past 90 days the Belarusians hold a 61-25 map record with a round difference of +220, against 32-21 and +29 for Legacy, and they win 61% of their rounds on the CT side. Anubis is always the first ban from Legacy, 15 times out of 15, but their own pick Ancient runs into a map where Nemiga have a 13-6 record.
Where we could be wrong
There have been no meetings between the two in two years and the veto at PGL Masters Bucharest is not known yet. If Legacy steer the series towards Dust2 and Nuke, Nemiga have almost nothing left in hand. Their best-of-three series have reached a third map only 12 of 33 times, so a 0-2 without a map in return is no rarity here.
