The LAN event in Belgrade continues with a clash between two very different teams: 3DMAX — one of the most consistent French squads over the past year — take on China’s Lynn Vision, a team recently reborn with new confidence. This is the opening match of Group B, and despite the global ranking advantage for 3DMAX (#15 vs #20), the series promises to be much tighter than the numbers might suggest.
Team Lineups
3DMAX:
- bodyy
- Ex3rcice
- Graviti
- Maka
- Lucky
Lynn Vision:
- C4LLM3SU3
- EmiliaQAQ
- Westmelon
- Starry
- z4kr
The key duel to watch is Maka vs Starry. Both are stable performers on big stages, with nearly identical K/D and impact ratings. While Maka has long proven himself at a high level, Starry is an emerging force. This is a classic clash of experience vs ambition.
Team Form & Playstyle
3DMAX represent the modern French school of Counter-Strike: calculated offense, strong map control, and a reliable AWP duo in Maka and Lucky. Their structure and discipline often neutralize chaos and help avoid upsets against underdogs.
Lynn Vision, in contrast, embody the East Asian style — aggressive, unpredictable, and fast-paced. Their players have raw mechanical skill, but they still lack consistency in structured team play. Their style is chaotic by nature, but that very chaos can sometimes force mistakes from more composed opponents.
Map Pool & Potential Veto
Map Stats (last 3 months):
- Dust2: 3DMAX — 60%, Lynn Vision — 64%

- Anubis: 3DMAX — 100%, Lynn Vision — 67%
Expected veto:
- 3DMAX bans Mirage (neither team plays it)
- Lynn Vision bans Train (not in their pool)
- 3DMAX likely pick Anubis (perfect record)
- Lynn Vision may choose Dust2 or Ancient (good winrates and frequency)
- Decider: Nuke or Inferno, depending on secondary bans
Key Matchups
- Maka vs Starry — both star fraggers, similar ADR (~75) and >1.00 impact ratings
- Graviti vs EmiliaQAQ — Graviti plays a glue/support role, Emilia is often first in with risky entries
- Lucky vs C4LLM3SU3 — classic A-site anchor duel: support, rotations, post-plant efficiency
Prediction
Favorite: 3DMAX
The French squad looks far more disciplined, structured, and experienced in LAN settings. Their organized game should neutralize Lynn Vision’s chaos — provided Maka and Lucky perform at their usual level.
Still, Lynn Vision is dangerous. Their Dust2 is a real threat, and Starry can take over rounds single-handedly. If the Chinese side finds its rhythm and doesn’t get discouraged early, this could go the distance.
Predicted score: 2–1 for 3DMAX
Lynn Vision may take a map — most likely Dust2 — but across a full Bo3, 3DMAX’s composure and tactical depth should prevail.
3DMAX aren’t just the favorites by ranking — they have structure, consistency, and maps tailored to their strengths. Lynn Vision are fierce underdogs, but that may not be enough in a Bo3. We expect a confident win from the Europeans, though individual maps might be hotly contested.
