3DMAX vs Gentle Mates Betting Predictions
3DMAX and Gentle Mates are set to cross swords on Tuesday, July 21, in the opening round of StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 European Qualifier, marking their second clash of the month.
Gentle Mates faced 3DMAX less than a week ago during Stake Ranked Episode 3, when 3DMAX won with a one-sided sweep, and the rematch is expected to end the same way. While Gentle Mates have shown some signs of life this season, their form, ahead of the qualifiers, isn’t great.
Adding to that, Gentle Mates do not field a complete roster, having recently parted ways with Martinez, adding another major concern to their chances of winning the series and getting revenge over 3DMAX.
- Both teams have shown good things ahead of BLAST Bounty Summer
- Alliance have looked better, but their success isn’t guaranteed
- Expect a close and competitive clash
3DMAX Lead the H2H
3DMAX and Gentle Mates last clashed during Stake Ranked Episode 3, when 3DMAX won in two maps.

3DMAX Are in Good Shape
3DMAX have been a bit up-and-down this season, failing to win a single event. However, they have shown some signs of life recently, with a top-four finish at Stake Ranked Episode 3, which is their best tournament placement since April, when they finished fourth in PGL Bucharest 2026.
Admittedly, 3DMAX are anything but an elite team, having not left a lasting mark in any big events this season. However, they’ve been showing signs of life and should feel confident about their chances of beating Gentle Mates, who enter the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 European Qualifier weakened.

Gentle Mates Are in a Rough Spot
Gentle Mates enter StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 European Qualifier in a rough spot, as they’ve recently parted ways with AWPer Martinez and have yet to announce a replacement. This suggests that Gentle Mates will attend the qualifiers with a stand-in, which does them no favours.
Form-wise, Gentle Mates haven’t been terrible but far from great. They have placed top-eight in NODWIND Clutch Series 9 and CCT Europe Series #4, and, more recently, crashed out of Stake Ranked Episode 3 in fifth-sixth place after a crushing loss to 3DMAX.
Seeing Gentle Mates struggle against 3DMAX less than a week ago does not inspire much confidence that they’ll do any better in the rematch.
