Rare Atom are a well-established Chinese org, ranked #44, showing solid CS2 performances: four wins in their last seven Bo3s—including wins over TYLOO, DogEvil, Shika, FlyQuest—but also some losses to mid-tier teams.
XDM, much lower at #833, are newcomers with only one Bo3 win (against NinJa) and limited international exposure.
Rare Atom clearly dominate on form, ranking, and experience.
Though detailed veto info is scarce, general observations suggest: Rare Atom, with a deep map pool, will likely pick familiar territory like Nuke, Ancient, or Train XDM may struggle to counter these due to limited Bo3 exposure.
Strong map advantage to Rare Atom.
Rare Atom boast strong internal talent and coaching, with recent roster moves including add-ons like Trash to strengthen depth.
XDM lack impactful players and map consistency, with no previous high-tier victories.
Tactically, Rare Atom will leverage structured mid-round control; XDM rely on reactive play.
Map 1 (Rare Atom pick): Expect a decisive win (13–7 to 13–9), given controlled pace and map knowledge.
Map 2 (XDM pick): They might secure some rounds, but Rare Atom’s adaptability will likely shut it down—expect 13–10 or 13–11.
Decider: Rare Atom’s depth and structure should clinch it—13–9 to 13–11.
Rare Atom High global rank, Bo3 experience, solid map depth Minor inconsistencies on mid-tier teams
XDM Newcomer resilience Low experience, no map depth.
Rare Atom’s tactical polish and past success give them the upper hand here.
Rare Atom 2–0 XDM
