Matchup Analysis
Direborn's quietly strong recent form
Direborn enter this series with a 53% map win rate over the last three months, indicating they are more stable than their modest global rating suggests.
SourceTournament experience gap favors Nemesis
Team Nemesis have already appeared in nine Dota 2 tournaments and earned about $45,205 in prize money, while Direborn are recorded at just one event with no official earnings listed.
SourceYouthful Direborn lineup
Direborn's core of PlayHard, db-, Pota2, womy, and deko averages around 25 years old, giving them a blend of mechanical peak and developing big-stage poise.
SourceNemesis rebuild around a new core
Nemesis recently reshaped their lineup with JaCkky at carry, Ken in mid, Jabz offlane, and Jhocam as position four, forming a refreshed core ahead of late-summer competition.
SourceRegional SEA rivalry storyline
This matchup highlights a SEA rivalry with Indonesian side Direborn facing Singapore-based Team Nemesis, whose Dota roster is rooted in the Philippines scene.
SourceBig-stage experience edge for Nemesis
Nemesis have played globally visible events such as The International 2025 and the Esports World Cup 2026 with peak viewership above 226,000, compared with Direborn’s sub-30,000 peak from SEA TI qualifiers.
SourcePick Ideas
Moneyline lean toward Nemesis
Nemesis carry stronger results and rankings, posting roughly a 65% match win rate and a world ranking around #56, while Direborn remain unranked, making Nemesis the logical moneyline favorite.
Direborn +1.5 maps as underdog value
Direborn have played about 45 maps over the last three months with a 3.67 KDA and solid economy metrics near 735 GPM and 886 XPM, suggesting they can keep series scores close enough to justify a +1.5 maps handicap.
Over 2.5 maps in the series
Nemesis’ 32-match record of 10 wins, 21 losses, and one draw points to inconsistent dominance, and Direborn’s ability to claim series in EPL World Series: Southeast Asia playoffs makes a long best-of-three with multiple lead swings plausible for an over 2.5 maps angle.
Support impact props on Hustla
If markets offer support-focused props, Nemesis’ Hustla—listed as their primary position-five support—is a candidate for high warding and assist totals given his tempo-setting role in their recent lineup.
