**Team Nemesis holds the edge in this BO3 matchup due to superior Valve Regional Standings ranking (#37-44 range) and greater experience against higher-tier opposition.** The CIS squad, featuring SELLTER, Sdaim, tex1y, mag1k3Y, and r3salt under coach NMV, has competed in events like BLAST Bounty and StarLadder StarSeries qualifiers, though recent results show inconsistency including a 1-2 loss to Nuclear TigeRES. ASTRAL, a Latvian roster (gxx-, swiz, RaY5ive, Neqy, meowpop) ranked around #76, enters on strong momentum after advancing from the open qualifier with 2-0 victories over Insiders and other wins. No major roster changes or injuries reported for either side ahead of the September 3-6 closed qualifier, where both seek one of two main-event spots in the $100k Stake Ranked Episode 4. Map pool and recent form on Cache, Ancient, and Nuke will likely decide the series.

This market will resolve to "Team Nemesis" if Team Nemesis win the match against ASTRAL.
This market will resolve to "ASTRAL" if ASTRAL win the match against Team Nemesis.
If the match is canceled (not played at all) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50.
If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before September 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of September 4, 2026 at 1:30 PM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played.
If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins.
If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence.
In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.
