Two teams ranked within two spots of each other at 90 and 92, but ARCRED's map pool tells a different story. They're solid across the board: 68% on Inferno, 70% on Anubis, 61% on Dust2, 67% on Ancient and 59% on Mirage, all on decent sample sizes. MOUZ NXT, by contrast, are a mess outside of Mirage (62%). They sit at 45% on Dust2, 43% on Nuke, 39% on Overpass, don't play Inferno at all and are a flat 50% on both Ancient and Anubis. That's a team with one strong map and a lot of vulnerabilities.

In a BO3, this matters. ARCRED can ban Mirage and still have multiple maps where they hold clear statistical advantages. MOUZ NXT's individual stats are slightly better (1.21 rating vs 1.14), but those numbers come from a mixed bag of opponents and formats. ARCRED's recent form is stronger too at 7-3 with wins over Nemiga, 1win and multiple series against WW. The odds at 1.69 imply ARCRED win about 59% of the time. I'd put it closer to 62%, which is a thin edge but one grounded in a concrete map pool mismatch that should play out in this format.
