Analytics Summary
NIP are the clear favorites in this Stake Ranked Episode 3 Upper Bracket Semifinals match, backed by a dominant head-to-head record of 3-1 against Gentle Mates. Their three wins include a 2-1 Bo3 on April 1, 2026, a 2-1 Bo3 on February 6, 2026, and a 2-0 sweep on December 21, 2025. Gentle Mates' only win came in October 2025. Thunderpick prices NIP at 1.50 (implied ~67% win probability).
Both teams post identical team average ratings of 1.08, making individual matchups critical. NIP's roster depth is exceptional: cairne (1.20 rating, 82.12 ADR, 75.32% KAST), xKacpersky (1.18 rating, 84.55 ADR), r1nkle (1.16), stavn (1.15), and ewjerkz (1.14) form one of the strongest top-5 lineups in this tournament. Web research confirms NIP's current active roster includes Snappi, arrozdoce (ewjerkz), sjuush, and r1nkle — a competitive lineup. Gentle Mates' Martinez (1.15 rating, 1.23 K/D) is their standout, but the team's smaller career sample (58 matches) limits historical context.
NIP's career winrate of 50.69% (404W-393L) reflects a team that has competed at high levels across many matches, while Gentle Mates' 56.90% (33W-25L) comes from a much smaller sample. The H2H dominance is the decisive factor here — NIP have consistently found ways to win this matchup in Bo3 format.
