Dust 2 (BESTIA pick): BESTIA overwhelmed with midmap setups and rifle control—Imperial’s CT-half sluggish.

Nuke (decider): Imperial launched a CT-side comeback to take map control and closed decisively.

Imperial: Higher world ranking, strong CT-side adaptation, resilient finishes, star support (try, noway). Vulnerable on strong T-side setups
BESTIA High-impact individual performance (tomaszin), explosive Dust 2 T-sides CJ-lacking CT cohesiveness, weak late-round setups.
Imperial capitalized on their structural depth and map adjustments to overcome BESTIA’s star-driven aggression.
Imperial 2–1 BESTIA
