Nongshim RedForce to win at -133.33 is the pick in the consolation final, with the Pacific side looking the slightly more reliable team after pushing 100 Thieves deep in their semifinal.

BBL Esports are a live underdog at +100, and their playoff run has already included a strong upset over Team Heretics. The worry is that Nongshim’s tournament has been more convincing overall. They knocked out Team Vitality, beat G2 Esports earlier in the event, and still looked dangerous even in their semifinal loss.

This match could easily go three maps, but Nongshim at -133.33 have the better mix of firepower and structure. If they reset properly after missing the grand final, they should have enough late-round control to finish third.

100 Thieves to win at +115 is the grand final value play, with the underdog price looking too big for a team that has already beaten BBL Esports, MIBR and Nongshim RedForce at this event.

NRG Esports deserve respect at -153.85. They have come through Gentle Mates and BBL Esports in the playoff bracket, and a BO5 should suit a roster with this much depth. The issue is price. 100 Thieves have been one of the cleanest teams in Paris, and their semifinal win over Nongshim showed they can handle pressure when the series gets tight.

This is a proper coin-flip final, not a spot where NRG should be treated as clear favourites. The longer format gives both teams room to adapt, but 100 Thieves have the momentum, the confidence and enough map-pool answers to make +115 the best bet of the final day.
