B8 vs FUT Esports

Best Odds	B8 +240 at BetOnline | FUT Esports -357.14 at SportsBetting
When	June 13, 2026 | 11:00 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

FUT Esports to win at -357.14 is the opening elimination pick, with the Turkish side showing more in its two Stage 3 losses than B8 have so far.

B8 are fighting for survival at +240 after back-to-back 0-2 defeats to FURIA Esports and The MongolZ. FUT are also 0-2, but they took maps from both Team Vitality and G2 Esports, which is a much stronger form line than the record alone suggests.

The price is short, but it is still playable. FUT Esports at -357.14 have the better series sample, the better recent map resistance and the cleaner case to stay alive.

Natus Vincere vs The MongolZ

Best Odds	Natus Vincere -285.71 at SportsBetting | The MongolZ +200 at BetOnline
When	June 13, 2026 | 11:00 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

The MongolZ to win at +200 is the value swing, with NAVI looking a little short for a 1-1 BO3 against a side that has already beaten B8 cleanly.

Natus Vincere bounced back from their Team Spirit loss by sweeping Legacy, so the favourite tag is fair. The MongolZ still have enough upside at the number after taking BetBoom Team to three maps in Round 1 and then handling B8 2-0. This is much closer than a -285.71 NAVI line suggests.

  The bookies' bookie

NAVI may have the safer floor, but The MongolZ at +200 bring the better risk-reward. If their T sides start quickly, this can turn into a genuine upset spot.

Aurora Gaming vs G2 Esports

Best Odds	Aurora Gaming +115 at BetOnline | G2 Esports -153.85 at BetOnline
When	June 13, 2026 | 13:30 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

Aurora Gaming to win at +115 is the sharper side, with the underdog price appealing after their strong push against Team Spirit.

G2 Esports deserve respect after beating FUT Esports, but they have already lost to Team Falcons and have not looked untouchable in Stage 3. Aurora swept Monte in Round 1 and then took Spirit to three maps, which is a strong enough two-match sample to make them dangerous at plus money.

G2 at -153.85 are playable if you trust the bigger-stage experience, but Aurora at +115 have shown enough form and enough map-pool bite to be the better betting angle.

Team Falcons vs Monte

Best Odds	Team Falcons -454.55 at BetOnline | Monte +300 at SportsBetting
When	June 13, 2026 | 13:30 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

Monte to win at +300 is the price-based play, with Team Falcons looking too short after being swept by BetBoom Team.

Falcons have the stronger ceiling and their Round 1 win over G2 Esports showed how dangerous they can be when the pieces click. The issue is that -454.55 is thin for a 1-1 BO3 after a 0-2 loss. Monte recovered from the Aurora defeat by beating PARIVISION, and their Stage 2 run proved they can handle pressure series.

This is a high-risk underdog pick, but the gap is wide enough to attack. Monte at +300 have enough recent survival reps to make them more interesting than taking Falcons at a short number.

PARIVISION vs Legacy

Best Odds	PARIVISION +120 at SportsBetting | Legacy -161.29 at BetOnline
When	June 13, 2026 | 16:00 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

PARIVISION to win at +120 is the elimination value, with Legacy’s favourite price looking too short for a team that has been swept twice in Stage 3.

Legacy have the cleaner market position, but the results have not backed up a confident favourite case. PARIVISION lost tight three-map series to 9z Team and Monte, while Legacy fell 0-2 to MOUZ and 0-2 to Natus Vincere. That makes the bigger PARIVISION price much easier to like.

• 

  The bookies' bookie

Both sides are under pressure at 0-2, but PARIVISION at +120 have shown more map-level resistance. They are the better betting option to stay alive.

Team Vitality vs MOUZ

Best Odds	Team Vitality -454.55 at BetOnline | MOUZ +300 at BetOnline
When	June 13, 2026 | 16:00 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

Team Vitality to win at -454.55 is short but playable, with the reigning elite side needing a clean response after being stunned by 9z Team.

MOUZ are a dangerous underdog at +300, particularly after pushing FURIA Esports to three maps in Round 2. Vitality’s floor is still higher, though. Their win over FUT Esports was solid, and a loss to a hot 9z side does not erase their broader map-pool and star-power advantage.

This is not a big-price betting angle, but it is the safer call. Vitality at -454.55 should have enough quality to avoid sliding into the 1-2 danger zone.

BetBoom Team vs FURIA Esports

Best Odds	BetBoom Team +125 at BetOnline | FURIA Esports -166.67 at SportsBetting
When	June 13, 2026 | 18:30 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

BetBoom Team to win at +125 is the 2-0 bracket value, with their Stage 3 wins over The MongolZ and Team Falcons making them hard to ignore at this price.

FURIA are unbeaten as well after beating B8 and MOUZ, so the -166.67 line is understandable. BetBoom’s wins have been more impressive, though, and they have already shown they can handle two very different styles across full BO3s.

  Fast Payouts

This is a playoff-qualification match, and BetBoom at +125 look too big for a team sitting 2-0. FURIA have the stronger market name, but BetBoom bring the better current Major form line.

Team Spirit vs 9z Team

Best Odds	Team Spirit -1000 at SportsBetting | 9z Team +500 at BetOnline
When	June 13, 2026 | 18:30 CEST
Watch Live	Official ESL broadcast, Twitch, YouTube

9z Team to win at +500 is the only playable number from the supplied market, because Team Spirit are listed at -1000 in a playoff-qualification BO3.

Spirit are clearly the team to beat after sweeping Natus Vincere and then edging Aurora Gaming in three maps. The problem is not the favourite’s quality; it is the price. 9z are also 2-0 after beating PARIVISION and Team Vitality, so this underdog line is at least backed by real Stage 3 results.

• 

  The bookies' bookie

This is a high-risk upset bet, but Spirit at -1000 are too short to recommend. 9z at +500 have already beaten one giant in Cologne, and the price is big enough to take the swing.
