The second round of the LOOT.BET Season 7 will continue with a clash between Nemiga (Belarus) vs. Apeks (Norway). Both teams recorded wins in the opening round and are looking to maintain the perfect start of the season. This contest is scheduled as a best-of-three-map matchup.
Nemiga Team Stats and Latest Results
Nemiga (#27 World Rank) are entering this encounter as strong favorites after winning eight of the previous nine matches; however, they lost the latest one to heavy underdogs GamerLegion (25-28) at ESEA MDL Season 34 Europe. Nemiga opened the LOOT.BET Season 7 with a comfortable 2-0 victory over the Bulgarian side #51 FATE. When it comes to the maps, Nemiga are the most successful at Dust2 (58.1 winning percentage, 86 times played).
At the same time, they are also good at Inferno (56.7%, 164 times played), making a defeat to GamerLegion (Inferno) even more surprising. On the other hand, they obviously don’t prefer playing on Train (40.7%, 59 times played). Nemiga’s current lineup consists of: mds (1.07 Rating), Jyo (1.09), speed4k (1.05), boX (1.04), and lollipop21k (1.14). This lineup played together on 115 maps since January 2020 and has a record of 69 wins and 46 losses.
Apeks Team Stats and Latest Results
Apeks (#58) are underdogs in this tilt, which is quite understandable considering they lost ten of the last 14 matches, including the most recent one to #62 AGO at cs_summit 6 Europe Open Qualifier. That loss actually snapped a three-game winning streak. Apeks didn’t have problems in the LOOT.BET Season 7 opener as they beat #50 PACT 2-0. Train (80.0 winning percentage, played five times) is Apeks’ favorite map so far, but they didn’t play it frequently, so we cannot consider these numbers as serious.
However, Overpass (63.6%, 22 times played) should be taken into consideration, while Apeks are not performing well at Inferno (33.3%, six times played) and Nuke (37.5%, played 24 times). Apeks’ current lineup consists of: dennis (1.03 Rating), akez (0.95), truth (1.01), Marcelious (1.09), and Grusarn (1.00). This lineup played together on 37 maps since April 2020 and has a record of 13 wins and 24 losses.

Nemiga vs. Apeks Betting Preview
Although both sides recorded wins in the LOOT.BET Season 7 opening round, Nemiga are clear favorites for a reason. If we ignore the recent shocking loss to unranked GamerLegion, Nemiga are in an excellent form, and they will have an advantage in case they get a chance to select Dust2 or Inferno maps. Apeks are not playing well at Inferno, so they might opt to remove this map in order to prevent the favorites from picking it. Still, Nemiga have more experience as they played nearly 80 maps more than Apeks’ current lineup, and in my opinion, that will make the most significant difference here. I wouldn’t be surprised if the underdogs take one map, but that should be their maximum at the moment.
