Team Nemesis vs 1w Team Betting Predictions
Team Nemesis and 1w Team will face off for a spot in the next stage of BLAST SLAM VIII on Friday, October 2, in a Group B decider match.
1w Team enter this match as favourites, as a more proven team, and arguably a stronger squad – at least on paper. However, as good as 1w might appear, it is becoming hard to ignore just how strong Team Nemesis have looked of late, with a deep run in PGL Wallachia Season 9, and promising performances at BLAST SLAM VIII.
It is fair to consider 1w as the team with a higher potential, but the way Team Nemesis have been playing, they deserve a lot of respect too.
- Team Nemesis are in excellent shape
- 1w Team are expected to win
- Nemesis can come out ahead
A 1-1 Tie in Head-to-Head
1w Team have met with Team Nemesis twice this season and won one game, with Nemesis picking up the more recent clash at PGL Wallachia Season 9.

Team Nemesis Are the Real Deal
Team Nemesis are making a name for themselves as a proper Tier-1 team, and their form is becoming increasingly hard to ignore.
Last month, Team Nemesis made quite some noise by reaching the playoffs of PGL Wallachia Season 9, despite fielding two stand-ins. And so far, at BLAST SLAM VIII, they’ve shown some good things.
In the first round of Group B, Team Nemesis lost to the reigning The International champions, Team Spirit. But they still left their mark by winning the first map of the series.
Even more impressive was their performance against Natus Vincere in the Group B Losers Match, which Team Nemesis won 2-1. That win alone, beating NaVi, is a very positive sign and a good indication that Nemesis are indeed the real deal.

1w Team Are inconsistent
1w Team are a hard team to follow, purely because they tend to be very inconsistent.
They made some noise of late with a third-place finish at 1win Essence II, and seventh-eighth place finishes at The International and PGL Wallachia Season 9. However, over that stretch, 1w have produced a mixed bag of results.
At BLAST SLAM VII, 1w started well, beating Natus Vincere 2-1. But they proved far less successful against Team Spirit, who defeated 1w 2-0 in the second round of group play.
Looking back at some of 1w’s games, they seem to lack a clear plan most of the time, prone to throwing fights and stumbling in the late game.
On a more positive note, 1w have Pure available for this event, but his presence does not fix many of the issues.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 30 | BLAST SLAM VIII | Team Spirit | 0-2 (L) |
| September 29 | BLAST SLAM VIII | Natus Vincere | 2-1 (W) |
| September 25 | PGL Wallachia Season 9 | GamerLegion | 1-2 (L) |
| September 24 | PGL Wallachia Season 9 | Team Yandex | 0-2 (L) |
| September 23 | PGL Wallachia Season 9 | Pipsqueak+4 | 2-0 (W) |
