Buriram United Esports enter Thursday’s opening BO3 as clear favourites at -285.71. The price is short, but it still offers enough value to support the stronger side in a series where the winner must claim two maps.
Team Flash can be backed at +180 and will need to start quickly to put the favourites under pressure. Their best chance is to disrupt Buriram’s preferred approach and avoid allowing them to control the major objectives.
The underdog price carries some appeal, but Buriram United Esports look like the more dependable match-winner selection at -285.71.

Influence Rage are strong favourites to defeat S8UL Esports, with -500 available on the match-winner market. The price sits at the lower limit, but it remains playable given the sizeable gap between the two sides.
S8UL Esports offer a much larger return at +280. They will need to produce disciplined drafts and avoid falling behind early, as Influence Rage should become increasingly difficult to stop once they establish control.
The underdog price may attract some interest, but Influence Rage remain the safer BO3 selection at -500.

Nongshim RedForce are narrow favourites at -125, with Team OG close behind at -117.65. The near-identical prices suggest this should be the most competitive match on Thursday’s slate.
Team OG offer the slightly larger return and have enough upside to justify taking the value side of the market. In such a closely matched BO3, one strong draft or decisive team fight could be enough to swing the entire series.
There is very little separating these teams, but Team OG at -117.65 provide the marginally better risk-to-reward balance.
Team OG to win
Blacklist International enter the final match as favourites at -222.22. That is a reasonable price for the market leader and offers a stronger balance between potential return and reliability than several of Thursday’s shorter favourites.
Deep Cross Gaming can be backed at +150 and should not be written off completely. They will need to contest the early objectives and prevent Blacklist International from settling into a comfortable rhythm.
Deep Cross Gaming have enough quality to keep the series competitive, but Blacklist International remain the preferred match-winner bet at -222.22.
