Analytics Summary
9z enter this Bo1 as heavy favorites and the data strongly supports that assessment. Ranked #8 globally by HLTV as of June 29, 2026, 9z's average roster rating of 1.10 and ADR of 75.1 significantly outperforms 3DMAX's 1.03 rating and 69.4 ADR. 9z's top performers — dgt (1.18 rating, 78.42 ADR), luchov (1.14 rating, 79.81 ADR), HUASOPEEK (1.13 rating), and urban0 (1.10 rating) — form a formidable quartet. Their career winrate of 67.55% across 530 maps is the highest of any team in this tournament.
3DMAX are in dire form: 2W-8L in their last 10 matches (20% win rate), with losses to Alliance, magic, Liquid, MIBR, G2, Team Falcons, and TheMongolz. Their only wins were against NIP and EYEBALLERS in Bo1 formats. Maka (1.14 rating) and Kursy (1.12 rating) are capable players, but the roster drops off sharply — wasiNk (0.96) and Killazoo (0.78) are significant weak links. 3DMAX's career winrate of 55.36% is respectable historically but doesn't reflect their current slump.
The H2H record shows 3DMAX 2-1 9z, but the most recent meeting (August 2024) was a 9z win. The betting market strongly favors 9z at 1.30–1.36 (implied ~75% probability), which aligns with our analysis. In a Bo1 format, 9z's superior individual quality and form make them a strong pick.
