Having beaten 3DMAX less than a week ago, Inner Circle Esports will be expected to replicate that success on Tuesday. However, their performances since the last clash against 3DMAX have been somewhat underwhelming, so it is fair to question whether IC will be just as potent this time out.
3DMAX are a bit of an enigma, having produced a very mixed bag of results this tournament. But quality-wise, they are not that far apart from Inner Circle Esports, suggesting Tuesday’s affair will be a very competitive one.

Inner Circle Esports Look Solid
Inner Circle Esports qualified for the playoffs by topping Group B, which they finished with four wins and just one loss. That record includes victories against BBL Esports (13-7), Team Liquid (13-6), 3DMAX (13-9), and INFINITE (13-10), and one loss against EYEBALLERS (10-13).
With those results, Inner Circle are 5-5 from their last 10 games, as they’ve not found much success in the BLAST Open Fall or PGL Masters Bucharest qualifiers. IC exited BLAST Open Fall in the group stage, and concluded the qualifiers with a 1-2 record, having beaten Ninjas in Pyjamas, but lost against Nemiga Gaming and B8.
Overall, Inner Circle Esports haven’t produced anything exciting over the last month and have proven to be somewhat inconsistent. And even though they won Group B of Logitech G Play Connect, some of their wins were close and not as impressive as they perhaps should have been.

| September 18 | Logitech G Play Connect 2026 | INFINITE | 13-7 (W) |

3DMAX Can Bite
3DMAX haven’t been hugely successful over the last couple of months. They made some noise at BLAST Bounty Summer, where they reached the quarterfinals, and won NODWIND Clutch Series #11 at the start of the month.
Besides that, 3DMAX did not impress at the Esports World Cup (25th-32nd), IEM Masters Beijing qualifiers (13th-16th), or the Thunderpick World Championship qualifiers (ninth-12th).
At Logitech G Play Connect, 3DMAX have done enough to qualify for the knockout stage, finishing Group B in second place, with a 3-2 record. That included a couple of close victories against EYEBALLERS (19-17) and BBL Esports (16-14). However, despite middling results, 3DMAX played much better against M80 in the quarterfinals, edging out a 2-1 win.
3DMAX are a bit of an enigma and are fairly volatile with their performances.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 18 | Logitech G Play Connect 2026 | EYEBALLERS | 10-13 (L) |
| September 18 | Logitech G Play Connect 2026 | INFINITE | 13-10 (W) |

Verdict
Inner Circle Esports defeated 3DMAX during the group stage, but there are no guarantees that they will find the same success on Tuesday. Both teams have had some close calls in Group B, and they’ve both proven to be volatile, so at best, this match should be considered a coin-flip game at best.
Map pool-wise, there is not much to set the two squads apart. While Inner Circle have a higher win rate on most maps, they’ve also faced weaker teams of late, so it is hard to make a solid case for them.
Expect a competitive game.
