Fire Flux are globally ranked around #80, with a solid month of play featuring a 55% win rate; they netted group stage wins over KSM and KURSK but dropped to FORZE Reload in a recent series 0–2.
FORZE Reload sit near #85, slightly behind in rankings, but brought impressive momentum with a 3-series win streak (including a strong 2–0 vs ex-SABRE), though their recent defeat to Fire Flux highlights inconsistency.
Edge in form is marginally in favor of Fire Flux, due to direct success and roster stability.
Although full veto details are limited, community sources and map preferences suggest: Fire Flux favor Inferno and Dust2, both showcasing >60% win rates over recent matches, FORZE Reload lean on Ancient and Mirage, with Inferno being their weakest (~45% win rate).
Map advantage: Fire Flux get the strong Inferno, while Mirage favors FORZE Reload—but Inferno gives Flux the upper hand.
Fire Flux stars like paz and FinigaN consistently deliver 1.15+ ratings; their CT-side setups are disciplined and utility-heavy.
FORZE Reload have seen peaks from starix2 and Nova, but form is inconsistent and depth drops off beyond the top two.
Tactical strengths: Fire Flux excel in mid-round reads and coordinated rotations, while FORZE Reload favor burst executes and AWP entries—which can be efficient but less consistently successful.
Inferno (Fire Flux pick): Expect tactical dominance from Fire Flux. If they secure pistol and early gun rounds, control of mid and bombsite walls will likely net a 13–8 or 13–9 victory.
Mirage (FORZE Reload pick): With AWP setups and execution plays, FORZE Reload could grab this map—but only if star-heavy rounds go their way. Expect Fire Flux to contain AWP angles and split-late tempo if they win key utility rounds. Likely splitter: 13–11 either side.
Decider (Nuke/Overpass): This is wildcard territory. Depth + tactical cohesion favor Fire Flux; expect a 13–10 closing map in their favor.
Fire Flux bring map advantage, form, and structured team play.
FORZE Reload have flashes of brilliance and strong Mirage potential, but struggle with consistency and depth.
Fire Flux 2–1 FORZE Reload
