BetBoom Team to win at -208.33 is the opening H2H pick, with the favourite looking better placed to turn control into a 2-0.

GamerLegion are a huge price at +700, but they need more than a competitive map to pay out in this market. BetBoom have the stronger lane pressure and should have enough mid-game control to avoid letting this turn into a messy split.

Poor Rangers to win at +250 is the first upset play, with the H2H price looking worth a swing in a matchup where the draw is shortest.

Rune Eaters are slightly shorter at +180, but neither team has been reliable enough to treat as a clear 2-0 side. Poor Rangers only need one clean draft and one snowballing core performance to make this price look too big.

Team Falcons to win at -125 is the pick, with the favourite still offering a playable number against Xtreme Gaming.

Xtreme are dangerous at +530, but the full 2-0 ask is hard against Falcons. If Falcons get their lanes online early, they should have enough teamfight quality and closing power to take both maps.

Nigma Galaxy to win at +150 is the value side, with the underdog price too good to ignore in a BO2 H2H market.

PlayTime are live at +280, but Nigma’s draft depth and experience make them the more attractive 2-0 candidate. They still need a clean start, but +150 is a fair return for that risk.

L1ga Team to win at +105 is the cleaner H2H play, with the favourite sitting at a decent price for a 2-0 shot.

Level Up at +430 can make things awkward if they hit the right early-game timings, but L1ga should be better placed to dictate both drafts. Around even money, they are the side to back.

Team Liquid to win at +400 is the second upset swing, with Aurora Gaming not short enough to scare us away from the bigger name at the bigger price.

Aurora are the market side at +115, but this is still a BO2 where the favourite has to sweep. Liquid have enough quality and late-game discipline to steal the first map and turn the pressure back onto Aurora, making +400 worth a shot.
