The head-to-head record gives INFURITY Gaming a narrow edge — they defeated STATE 2-0 in a Bo3 on March 14, 2026 — but betting markets strongly favor STATE at 1.38-1.43 odds (implied ~70% win probability), suggesting the market sees significant improvement from STATE since that meeting.

STATE presents a more balanced roster across all five players. anarkez leads with a 1.13 rating and 1.19 K/D, supported by thamlike (1.10 rating), Zanto (1.09), and sL1m3 (1.09). Their team ADR averages ~72.8 across the top 5, with consistent KAST rates around 70-74%. INFURITY Gaming counters with oontoma (1.29 rating, 80.48 ADR, 78% KAST) as a standout star, and rinji (1.18 rating, 1.27 K/D) as a strong secondary.
