Iberian Soul reached the CCT 2026 Europe Series 10 final with a 2-1 semi-final victory over Nemiga, but the route included a difficult decider. Iberian Soul won Cache 13-7, lost Nemiga’s Nuke pick 16-13 in overtime, then settled the series with a 13-9 Mirage win.

The match turned on whether Iberian Soul could respond after giving up a lead on Nuke. sausol finished with 64 kills and a 1.31 Rating 3.0, while dav1g added 57 kills and a 1.26 rating. Their production helped Iberian Soul recover from the overtime loss and close the third map.

Cache gave Iberian Soul an early advantage. The Spanish side won 13-7 on Nemiga’s pick, opening the series with a six-round margin. Nemiga then answered on Nuke, the map selected by Iberian Soul, and took the match into overtime after the regulation score was tied. Nemiga won 16-13 to force a third map.

Mirage supplied the decider. Iberian Soul trailed 7-5 at halftime, then won eight of the next ten rounds to close 13-9. The result was a recovery after a map that had slipped away in overtime, not a straight-line win from the opener. The 2-1 score sent Iberian Soul through the semi-final and into the CCT Series 10 final.

Iberian Soul rebuilt its lead after Nemiga forced overtime

The first two maps split the teams’ picks. Iberian Soul took Cache 13-7 with an 8-4 first half, while Nemiga turned its Nuke pick into a 16-13 overtime win. The Nuke result reversed the series momentum and made Mirage decisive, with no room for another response after the final map.

Iberian Soul handled that pressure by improving after the break. Nemiga led 7-5 at halftime on Mirage, but Iberian Soul won eight of the next ten rounds and finished 13-9. The closeout was four rounds wider than the final margin suggests in one sense: after going behind at half, the Spanish team conceded only two more rounds.

sausol led Iberian Soul with 64 kills, 47 deaths, 90.5 average damage per round and a 1.31 rating. dav1g’s 57-43 record and 1.26 rating provided a second strong series line. The pair’s totals help explain the team’s recovery, while the map scores identify where each side had control: Cache and Mirage for Iberian Soul, Nuke for Nemiga.

  • Tournament: CCT 2026 Europe Series 10 semi-final.
  • Cache: Iberian Soul opened with a 13-7 win.
  • Nuke: Nemiga forced a decider with a 16-13 overtime victory.
  • Mirage: Iberian Soul came back from a 7-5 halftime deficit to win 13-9.
  • Series leaders: sausol recorded 64 kills; dav1g added 57.

The semi-final’s defining contrast was the response to overtime. Nemiga won Nuke 16-13 after regulation could not separate the teams, but Iberian Soul did not let that loss decide the series. On Mirage, it turned a 5-7 halftime deficit into an eventual four-round win.

The team statistics show more than one source of impact. sausol led the server in kills and rating for Iberian Soul, while dav1g also finished well above an even kill-death record. The two strong totals complemented the team’s map-level recovery rather than serving as a substitute for it.

The confirmed bracket outcome is that Iberian Soul advanced from the semi-final to the CCT Europe Series 10 final. The result report focuses on this three-map match and does not treat the semi-final as a tournament title.

Two strong series lines supported the Mirage closeout

Iberian Soul’s 13-7 Cache win was followed by a 16-13 overtime loss on Nuke. The team then recovered on Mirage, where an 8-2 second half turned a 7-5 deficit into a 13-9 map victory.

sausol’s 64 kills and 1.31 rating led the Iberian Soul roster, with dav1g next at 57 kills and a 1.26 rating. Both players finished with more kills than deaths, giving the winning side two clear statistical contributors across the long series.

The 2-1 victory carried Iberian Soul into the CCT Series 10 final. Nemiga’s overtime win made the decider necessary, but Iberian Soul was the team that regained control on Mirage and advanced.
