BetBoom Team are strong favourites to win this BO3 at -454.55. The price is short, but it remains above our minimum threshold and offers a more dependable option than backing Vici Gaming to complete a sizeable upset.

Vici Gaming are available at +280 and will need to punish any mistakes BetBoom make during the drafting phase. The underdogs may be capable of taking one map, but defeating BetBoom twice across the series is a much tougher assignment.

There is not a great deal of value in the favourite’s price, although BetBoom remain the logical match-winner selection. Their margin for error across a best-of-three series makes -454.55 the preferred bet.

Team Yandex enter this matchup as slight favourites at -138.89, but the market suggests there is very little separating the two sides. That makes this one of the more competitive matches on Saturday’s Dota 2 slate.

PARIVISION can be backed at +100, which represents the more attractive value angle in such a closely priced contest. They do not need to produce a major upset, with the odds suggesting this series could easily go either way.

Team Yandex deserve respect as the favourites, but PARIVISION’s even-money price is difficult to ignore. In a BO3 where small drafting and execution advantages could decide the result, +100 offers the better risk-to-reward balance.
