9INE are 2-8 in their last 10 matches with a single win across their last five outings. Sashi, by contrast, hold a 52.6% match win rate and a round win rate that clears 9INE's on every level. The gap in form is severe enough that the price on Sashi at Duel at 1.46 looks reasonable the moment you look past the headline records. The map veto is where Sashi should put this away. They're 83.3% on Ancient and 80% on Inferno in team form, and 9INE are a catastrophic 14.3% on Inferno (1W-6L). Sashi can essentially pick their two best maps and expect 9INE to show up on Inferno having almost no recent evidence they can win there. 9INE's one statistical lifeline is a 100% Nuke record in team form, but that sample is only three maps, and Sashi at 50% on Nuke can absorb that if it comes to it. Two strong map picks for Sashi versus one thin sample for 9INE gives the series edge firmly to Sashi. The rank gap (Sashi #64, OG #110) is worth calling out because it's data-backed rather than cosmetic: Sashi's form and map records substantiate the tier difference. Casual bettors might see 9INE's Nuke sample and imagine a closer series than the broader picture justifies. We're on Sashi to close this out on their map picks without needing a rescue.
