Matchup Analysis
An elimination match in the lower bracket
Both teams dropped their upper-quarterfinals, so Friday’s best-of-three is win-or-go-home: the winner stays alive in the tournament and the loser is eliminated.
Source100 Thieves were close on Ascent, but could not force a third map
100 Thieves fell 0–2 to G2, losing Abyss 5–13 before pushing Ascent to 11–13. They will need a stronger start than they showed on Abyss to avoid giving Nongshim early control.
SourceNongshim showed a sharp reset before a narrow Haven finish
After losing their Split pick 8–13 to Vitality, Nongshim answered with a 13–4 win on Abyss, then lost Haven 12–14 in overtime. That swing makes their ability to carry the Abyss adjustment into a new series a key watch point.
SourceThe teams have a recent meeting to draw on
100 Thieves beat Nongshim 2–1 in their July Esports World Cup semifinal, giving both coaching staffs recent head-to-head tape as they prepare for this elimination series.
SourcePick Ideas
100 Thieves moneyline
100 Thieves were priced around 63¢ on Polymarket versus 38¢ for Nongshim, making them the market lean; treat that as a reference rather than a guaranteed edge, especially given the modest trading volume.
Map 1 over 20.5 rounds
If the map-one total is still 20.5, the over was quoted near 59¢; consider it only if the price remains favorable, since the market showed no recorded volume at the time checked.
