Falcons are not a huge price, but they have earned this level of trust after the way they came through the group stage.

Their wins over Team Spirit and GamerLegion both came in three maps, which is important here because this is unlikely to be a clean, low-stress playoff opener. Falcons have already had to solve awkward series inside the event, and that gives them a stronger case than simply saying they are the higher-seeded side.

Tundra are dangerous enough to punish a slow start, especially after surviving the group-stage tiebreakers, but they have also been more volatile than Falcons. In a best-of-three where one poor draft can change everything, Falcons still look better placed to settle the series and win the key late-game fights.

PARIVISION vs TEAM LIQUID

Liquid are the more interesting side at plus money.

PARIVISION topped their group, but the last couple of group matches were not completely smooth. Losing to PlayTime and then needing three maps against REKONIX leaves a small question mark before a playoff series against a Liquid side that has been building cleaner results since the Falcons loss.

Liquid’s wins over ex-Heroic and Vici Gaming were the sort of workmanlike results that matter before an upper-bracket match. They are not being asked to dominate PARIVISION; they just need to keep the lanes stable, drag the series into deeper drafts, and make the favourite prove they can close under pressure. At +110, that is enough value to take.

TEAM SPIRIT vs BETBOOM TEAM

BetBoom are the price worth taking in what should be one of the better matches of the day.

Spirit have the stronger reputation and looked sharp when they swept ex-Heroic, but the Falcons loss showed they can still be dragged into a tight, uncomfortable series. BetBoom, meanwhile, finished the group stage with clean wins over Xtreme Gaming and Nigma Galaxy, and that is a strong lead-in for a playoff opener where momentum matters.

The market has Spirit as the safer side, which is fair, but this does not feel like a matchup where the gap should be wide. BetBoom have enough teamfight punch to punish any loose mid-game, and if this becomes a three-map series, the underdog price looks much more appealing than the short favourite.

NATUS VINCERE vs AURORA GAMING

Best Odds	Natus Vincere -105.26 at BetOnline | Aurora Gaming -133.33 at SportsBetting

NAVI look overpriced after the way they finished the group stage.

The win over Tundra was already a strong marker, and the 2-0 over Xtreme Gaming made the case even better. NAVI have not just been scraping through close games; they have shown they can beat quality opposition without needing every late-game fight to go perfectly. That is a useful profile against an Aurora side that also arrives with solid wins, but not enough to make them clear favourites.

Aurora can absolutely win this if they control the tempo early and stop NAVI from playing through their stronger cores, but the price gap feels backwards. NAVI have the better recent scalp, enough map discipline to keep this from getting messy, and a near-even quote that gives them plenty of betting appeal.
