Koh “GuMiho” Byung-jae last met with Kim “Classic” Doh-woo just over a week ago, when he won 4-1, securing his sixth head-to-head victory (6-4) of the year. It also marked GuMiho’s second consecutive – following a 3-1 win at the end of March – and his 14th career head-to-head victory over Classic (14-16).
Having established himself as the better player, GuMiho enters this match as a -125 favourite, which makes a lot of sense. Not only has he crushed Classic in their last two bouts, but we must also consider that Terran are Classic’s worst match-up (57.04% career win rate).
We’ll keep it simple and side with GuMiho to win his third consecutive head-to-head against Classic. It could be a close bout since Classic is still an excellent player, but as it stands now, GuMiho has his number.

As the latest StarCraft II betting odd show, this is Park “DRG” Soo-ho’s match to lose, and the question is not so much whether he can do it but by how much will DRG win. The 30-year-old Zerg player is in much better form and is also 5-0 up against Hwang “KeeN” Kyu-seok.
Admittedly, all those bouts happened in 2021; however, KeeN has won just two maps (3-12) over the recent five series. On a more positive note, KeeN has a solid record into Zergs (68.75%) over his last 48 outings, whereas DRG’s win rate into Terran (53.33%) isn’t that great, granted DRG had to face significantly stronger opponents over that stretch.
DRG is the most likely victor, and there is very little to suggest otherwise. SCII betting sites are offering +195 on DRG to win 3-0 on the correct score market, which is a reasonable price, but we have faith in KeeN to win one map, so we’re on a 3-1 correct score prediction at slightly better odds.
