AURORA GAMING v NATUS VINCERE

Best Odds: Aurora -175.44 at SportsBetting | NAVI +127 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 15:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Aurora Gaming have shown more at Tier 1 level this year than Natus Vincere, but not by much. NAVI won 2-1 when these sides clashed in online qualifying a few weeks ago, so there is definitely value in backing the outsider.

TEAM FALCONS v YAKULT BROTHERS

Best Odds: Falcons -454.55 at BetOnline | YB +300 at SportsBetting
When: October 14, 2025 | 15:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Fresh off winning The International, Team Falcons are one of the teams to beat at BLAST Slam IV. China’s Yakult Brothers have gone 12-1 across three qualifying runs since exiting TI14 in the elimination round, but they should be outclassed here.

TEAM LIQUID v BETBOOM TEAM

Best Odds: Liquid +110 at SportsBetting | BBT -151.52 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 16:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

BetBoom Team have won four of their last five clashes with Team Liquid, including their best-of-one matchup at BLAST Slam III. With BB coming off a top-four finish at The International, there is no reason to bet against them.

TEAM SPIRIT v EXECRATION

Best Odds: Spirit -454.55 at SportsBetting | XctN +300 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 16:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Representing Southeast Asia as host region for the BLAST Slam IV playoffs, Execration sit a few grades below Team Spirit in the grand scheme of Dota 2 esports. Expect a straightforward victory for the European giants.

HEROIC v YAKULT BROTHERS

Best Odds: HEROIC -163.93 at SportsBetting | YB +120 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 17:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

HEROIC backed up their top-six finish at The International with a title at FISSURE Universe: Episode 7, so there is nothing wrong with their form. This is shaping up to be a tough opening day for Yakult Brothers.

NATUS VINCERE v MOUZ

Best Odds: NAVI -120.48 at BetOnline | MOUZ -120.48 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 17:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

These sides are 1-1 in their head-to-head stats this year, with MOUZ winning over three maps when they clashed only last week. Esports betting sites have this as a coin flip, but NAVI look the stronger team if you take in overall results in 2025.

TEAM FALCONS v BETBOOM TEAM

Best Odds: Falcons -200 at SportsBetting | BBT +150 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 18:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

While Team Falcons are in good form, they are not unbeatable. BetBoom Team took the Saudi squad to three maps in the TI14 playoffs and beat them at the Esports World Cup, so there is a strong case for backing them at this price.

TEAM LIQUID v TUNDRA ESPORTS

Best Odds: Liquid +125 at SportsBetting | Tundra -175.44 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 18:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Team Liquid are 5-4 up in the head-to-head ranks for 2025, although Tundra Esports’ win at The International marked their first meeting since May. The early money is all for Tundra, leaving a bit of value about Liquid.

HEROIC v EXECRATION

Best Odds: HEROIC -250 at SportsBetting | XtcN +175 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 19:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

With all due respect to their opponents, HEROIC will expect to be sitting pretty at 2-0 after the opening day of BLAST Slam IV. The kill handicap of 9.5 should be achievable for the Norwegian–South American outfit.

MOUZ v TEAM AUREUS

Best Odds: MOUZ -151.52 at SportsBetting | Aureus +110 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 19:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Team Aureus only formed in September, so they remain something of an unknown on the international stage. That’s always tough for a favorite to negotiate, especially in a one-off clash, so there is some merit in taking the underdogs to keep it close.

TEAM SPIRIT v AURORA GAMING

Best Odds: Spirit -227.27 at SportsBetting | Aurora +162 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 20:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

No matter which way you look at it, Team Spirit should have Aurora Gaming covered. The head-to-head odds offer little value, so consider exotic bets on towers or Roshan instead.

TUNDRA ESPORTS v NATUS VINCERE

Best Odds: Tundra -200 at SportsBetting | NAVI +150 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 20:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Tundra Esports have not missed the top eight in a single Tier 1 event this year, while Natus Vincere could only manage 14th-15th place at The International. There is a class gap here, and that should show in the end.

TEAM AUREUS v EXECRATION

Best Odds: Aureus -138.89 at BetOnline | XtcN +100 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 21:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

Despite their recent arrival on the Dota 2 esports scene, Team Aureus have had Execration well and truly covered so far. Back the newcomers to make it 4-0 against their Southeast Asian rivals.

TEAM FALCONS v MOUZ

Best Odds: Falcons -400 at SportsBetting | MOUZ +275 at BetOnline
When: October 14, 2025 | 21:00 CEST
Watch Live: Twitch

MOUZ have not played any top-tier esports tournaments in 2025, so there is nothing to suggest they can hang with the likes of Team Falcons. Look at the props and exotics to boost the odds for this one.
