Nemiga reach Stake Ranked Episode 4 final

Nemiga defeated Luminosity 2-0 on Oct. 3, 2026, in the upper-bracket final of Stake Ranked Episode 4 to reach the grand final. The Russian team has not dropped a map in the event after earlier wins over FaZe and Alliance. The victory advances Nemiga closer to qualifying for the PGL Singapore Major.

The series was decided on Cache and Dust2. Nemiga opened a 7-1 lead on Cache but fell behind 7-10 before recovering to win the map. On Dust2, Luminosity mounted a late rally; the match went to overtime and Nemiga closed the series there. The result preserved Nemiga’s perfect map record in the tournament.

Nemiga won MPKBK CIS LAN Season 7 and the online NODWIN Clutch Series 12 earlier in the month. A win in the Stake Ranked final would be Nemiga’s second LAN trophy of the month and add to their recent list of titles.

Luminosity will play Astralis in the consolidation final on Oct. 4 at 12:00 local time for a chance to reach the grand final. The winner of that match will face Nemiga at 15:30 the same day.

Astralis lost its opening match to Alliance and then advanced through the lower bracket by eliminating FaZe, BIG and fnatic. Standout individual performances included Love “phzy” Smidebrant, who posted a 2.50 rating on Dust2 with a 31-9 K-D and 142.3 ADR across 19 rounds, and Gytis “ryu” Glušauskas, who recorded a 2.08 rating on Ancient in the win over fnatic.

Stake Ranked Episode 4 is one of several events that offer teams opportunities to earn qualification points and match practice ahead of the PGL Singapore Major.
