Nemiga Gaming uniforms
We open the match analysis with an analysis of Nemiga Gaming's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at 1.1.
Nemiga are a mid-table side at best, but no more than that. They've spent the whole year playing 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.
Its opening - the performance at the open qualifications for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where they failed twice, taking the top-32, and later - the qualifiers for the 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, FL4MUS, khaN, riskyb0b, Xant3r.
Success at the qualifiers for IEM Chengdu 2024 did not turn into something stable. They finished top-64 at the qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2024 and top-3 at ESEA Season 48: Advanced Division - Europe.
Nemiga Gaming started their performance at IEM China 2024 with a match against FaZe Clan. They were the outsider of the match and lost it with the score 8-13. It should be noted that they did not lose defeated.
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 has played it 6 times, but only won once.
Steel Helmet
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Steel Helmet's form. In this match, the Chinese club is playing as the number two, and the odds for their victory are at around 10.
Steel Helmet is a random guest at IEM China 2024. They got here due to Monte's inability to attend the Chinese championship. The team represents nothing. Nothing in terms of weight on the international CS2 scene.
The Steel Helmet club has been on the Counter-Strike competitive scene since 2021. But given their region, that is China, they can't boast of experience playing in prestigious tournaments.
In 2021, they have consistently won local 5E Open Cup tournaments. They did the same thing a year later, in 2022, with the only difference being their attempts to get into prestigious championships like PGL Major Antwerp 2022, IEM Rio 2022 and so on. No successes anywhere.
In 2023 they continued to conquer the vastness of 5E championships and there they felt themselves quite well. In 2023 alone, for example, they won 8 such events. In between and further tried to qualify for big tournaments, such as IEM Sydney, BLAST.tv Paris Major and so on, but almost always had no luck. Almost, because at the qualifiers for the home iEM China 2024 Steel Helmet took the top 4.
- Steel Helmet lineup: 18yM, captainMo, DD, xiaosaGe, AE.
In 2024, Steel Helmet played at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Qualifiers, where they finished in the top 5, and then played at smaller tournaments like the 5E Arena Asia Cup and Asian Super League Season 2, where they finished in the top 8.
IEM China 2024 can be called the centrepiece of the club's history. Having got here due to the inability to play Monte at the championship, Steel Helmet had a perhaps unique experience. They played against Astralis, for example, though they lost to them 2-13 with no chance of triumph.
Mapple Steel Helmet
The best map of the Chinese is Inferno. Steel Helmet have played there 11 times and have a statistic of 8-3. Next comes Nuke (8-4) and Ancient (4-2).
Things are not much worse on Mirage and Overpass. On the former, which is true, only 3 games, but 2-1, but on Overpass it's already 5-3.
Neutral map is Anubis. SH has a score of 2-2 there.
They don't play on Vertigo.

Predicted result of Steel Helmet vs Nemiga Gaming at IEM China 2024
It is very difficult to comment here. This match is not the level of IEM and both teams are clearly not up to the level to pass to the next round of play-offs, but one of them will be there and it will be Nemiga. They gave a fight to FaZe and in general are much more experienced than the random guests of IEM China in the person of Steel Helmet.
The result: Nemiga Gaming won with the score 2-0.
