PokemoN (1.13 rating) and XigN (1.09 rating) provide additional firepower. 5star's top player rate posts a 1.07 rating with 77.05 ADR, but the team lacks the depth and experience that Alter Ego bring to the server.

With BnTeT's extensive international experience and famouz's elite fragging numbers, Alter Ego are the pick here. The 62% confidence reflects 5star's competitive player ratings — this won't be a walkover — but Alter Ego's superior career record and roster depth make them the clear analytical choice.
