Career sample asymmetry tips it
9z's 67.55% career on 530 matches is a real Tier-1 South American baseline. magic's 72.97% on 37 matches is impressive but thin. 9z's R1 PARIVISION sweep is the stronger Tier-1 marker. The 68 confidence reflects backing the deeper sample while acknowledging magic's home-crowd factor at Barys Arena and recent form trajectory.
