Vici Gaming vs Team Nemesis - EWC 2026

Nemesis flash some encouraging recent numbers, but the context matters. Their 71% monthly winrate came almost entirely against lower-ranked regional opposition, and the moment top-20 teams showed up, the results dried up fast. Three losses in their last four matches, including a straight 2-0 defeat to Team Spirit, tells a more honest story than the headline figure.

Vici Gaming bring 80% monthly form into this match, backed by a three-game winning streak and a run to the China qualifier finals. They have the h2h record too, winning 67% of all prior meetings against Nemesis. That kind of psychological edge on a LAN stage is not something you shake off with one good month of regional results.

The gap in LAN experience and prize earnings tells the rest of the story. Vici's $87k in recent half-year earnings points to deep runs in serious events, while Nemesis have no comparable track record at this level. When pressure builds on a LAN server at EWC, the team that has been there before almost always holds.
