Let's go.
BB Form
Let's open the analysis of BB vs Nemiga Gaming match with the analysis of BB's form. In this match they play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.6.
In total for 2023 they managed to play in 12 tournaments, including 3 qualifiers. They started last year with an appearance at IEM Sydney 2023. Later played at CCT East Europe Series #2, where they finished in the top 16.
In October 2023 they played at the only S-tier tournament of the year. That was Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023, where BB showed a very sane result: they managed to reach TOP-6, where Ledge and Complexity, the future TOP-2 of the tournament.
After a very confident Australian event BB returned to play at more down-to-earth tournaments. That was CCT East Europe Series #3 with absolutely failed result in TOP-16, but then CCT Central Europe Series #8 - with TOP-1, improved the situation a bit.
- BB Team: s1ren, zorte, Magnojez, Ax1Le, BoombI4.
They managed to climb to the TOP-16 of the world ranking from HLTV thanks to a series of successful performances at the end of the year. Then BB took TOP-2 at A1 Gaming League Season 7, TOP-4 at BB Dacha and YaLLa Compass Fall 2023.
The last tournament before IEM Katowice 2024 was PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier A. There BB managed to reach Top 5, which was enough to qualify for European RMR A. At Katowice itself BB failed miserably: TOP-21-24.
After failing at one of the tournaments of the IEM series, BB attended several other major events. These included qualification for IEM Dallas 2024 and ESL Pro League Season 19. At the former, BB finished in the top 8, and at EPL S19 they finished in the top 16.
In the second half of the year BB played tournaments at a lower level than Katowice, Dallas and ESL Pro League, but the performance there was the same as at the previous events. For example, they attended Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2 where they finished in the top 12, there was also Thunderpick World Championship 2024: European Series #2 with top 4. Just before PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A, the team played at YaLLa Compass Fall 2024, where they defeated Team 500 in the grand finals. This marked BB's second win of the season.
At Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A, BB Long Sogpeg started with a win over UNITY, and then faced Vitality and Fnatic, where they earned two losses. In the match of a lifetime, they defeated Nemiga Gaming. Next defeated sAw, making it to the tiebreaker, where they lost to BB Team, making it past Shanghai Major 2025.
In the 2025 season, they played at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier, making it to the main tournament. Directly at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, finishing in the top 8. Then attended CCT Season 2 European Series #16, where they placed Top 16 and similarly played at CCT Season 2 European Series #19 and also played at CCT Season 2 European Series #20.
Before playing at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 (where they qualified through the European Regional Qualifiers), they finished in the top 3 at the CCT Season 2 Global Finals.
Map BB Team
The best map BB is Vertigo. There the team has 100% wins with 2 games played. Among very successful maps Overpass with 8 matches and the only loseom.
Anubis is also in plus winrate, where BB won 5 matches out of 9 played. Nuke can be considered as an acceptable map, as BB have 4-4 statistics there.
The most failed maps are Mirage with 4-5 stats and Ancient with 3-5 overall score.
Nemiga Form
We continue the analysis of the match Nemiga vs BB Team with the analysis of Nemiga's form. Here they play as an outsider with odds to win around 2.
Nemiga are a mid-table side at best, but no more than that. They have spent the whole year playing in all sorts of qualification tournaments, and before that they played in B and C-tier tournaments, only occasionally making a splash at championships like IEM Chengdu 2024.
For example, in the 2023 season the team won ESEA Season 45: Main Division - Europe, but then - everything was sad: only TOP-8 at the championships of all kinds of Influencers and nothing serious. The breakthrough began in the 2024 season.
It opened with a performance at the open qualifiers for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where they failed twice, finishing in the top 32, and later - the qualifiers for IEM China 2024. Nemiga Gaming managed to make it here for the third time after failing at the first open qualifiers with Top-64, and then Top-2 at the second qualifiers, which turned into a win at the main qualifiers.
- Nemiga Gaming line-up: 1eeR, KhaN, riskyb0b, Xant3r, zweih.
Success at the qualifiers for IEM Chengdu 2024 did not turn into something stable. They took TOP-64 at the qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2024 and TOP-3 at ESEA Season 48: Advanced Division - Europe.
At IEM Chengdu 2024 Nemiga Gaming did what was expected of them: TOP-12. Later there was an appearance at Thunderpick World Championship 2024: European Series #1 with the final TOP-8 there. Also, Nemiga Gaming became the champions of RES European Series #2, winning $50,000.
Probably the most successful tournament for Nemiga in the season was RES Regional Champions, where the team managed to take the first place, earning $150,000.
In the 2025 season Nemiga showed more "stable results" for themselves. They placed TOP-32 at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, TOP-12 RES Showdown Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier, IEM Dallas 2025, TOP-8 at CCT Season 2 European Series #17.
Directly at ESL Pro League Season 21, Nemiga Long Sogpeg had two losses, but escaped with a win against Mindfreak. However, they lost to paiN and finished in the top 19 of the tournament. Later they tried to show their game at CCT Season 2 European Series #19 and CCT Season 2 European Series #20, but failed at two tournaments, finishing in TOP-19 and TOP-16.
Before playing at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, played at YaLLa Conpass Qatar 2025 with a top-8 and ESL Challenger League Season 49: Europe.
Nemiga Gaming Mapple
Nemiga's favourite card remains Inferno. The Eagles have played it three times in the last 3 months and won all their games there. Things are also good on Nuke: Nemiga won 3 Nuke games out of 4 played.
Among the good options are Vertigo and Ancient, where Nemiga has 2 wins in 3 games.
The most undesirable map is Mirage. Nemiga have played it 6 times, but have won only once.
History of head-to-head meetings between Nemiga and BB
Previously the teams played each other three times during the year. They exchanged series.
Predicted result of BB vs Nemiga on BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025
In this match I expect an even game. Everyone can win, but I bet on the victory of Nemiga.
Bottom line: Nemiga wins.
