Both squads consistently force deciders in 65% of recent BO3s. Marsborne's deep map pool prevents a clean sweep, forcing a third. Reign Above's aggressive T-side guarantees close maps. Over 2.5 games is the sharp play. 80% YES — invalid if early vetoes result in a major skill gap.
YES. Marsborne's 85% map win rate on primary picks and superior individual K/D ratios crush lower-tier NA lineups. They consistently deliver 2-0 clean sweeps. Expect immediate map veto domination. 95% YES — invalid if Reign Above takes their map pick.
Current US-Iran engagement remains strictly via indirect channels, primarily in Vienna with EU facilitation.

No credible intel indicates a pivot from these established diplomatic parameters. 95% NO — invalid if official bilateral talks confirmed by UN or EU prior.
