| Best Odds | ex-Heroic +170 at BetOnline | Aurora Gaming -250 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 10:00 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Aurora look like the safer side to open the day.
ex-Heroic have enough upset appeal in a BO1 to make this a little uncomfortable, but Aurora should have the more reliable read on how to play the first 15 minutes. In this format, that matters because one clean lane phase can be enough to control the entire map.
The -250 is short, but it is still workable. If Aurora avoid giving ex-Heroic a free tempo start, they should have enough structure and teamfight control to close this one out.
| Best Odds | Team Falcons -238.1 at BetOnline | Xtreme Gaming +170 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 10:00 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Xtreme Gaming are the value side in a BO1 where Falcons should not be treated as completely safe.
Falcons have the stronger top-end profile, but Xtreme are exactly the kind of team that can punish one poor draft read or one slow opening rotation. In a single-map format, that makes the underdog number much more interesting than it would be in a best-of-three.
Falcons may still win through better late-game structure, but +170 is big enough to take on a team with Xtreme’s draft flexibility. One strong start is all they need.
| Best Odds | GLYPH +250 at BetOnline | Team Spirit -400 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 11:10 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Spirit are short, but the number is still just about usable.
GLYPH have upset potential because BO1s always leave room for a surprise, but Spirit should have the stronger lanes, better objective control and more reliable late-game calls. The danger for the favourite is giving GLYPH an early kill-heavy start, but Spirit are usually good enough to steady that kind of game.
At -400, Spirit are not a big-value play, but they remain above the cutoff and still look the right side. They should have too many ways to win this map.
| Best Odds | OG +210 at BetOnline | Team Yandex -312.5 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 11:10 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Yandex are the cleaner side to trust here.
OG always carry BO1 danger because they can draft aggressively and make one map messy, but Yandex look more reliable if the game settles into a normal rhythm. They should be better placed to build through the lanes and force OG to fight from behind.
The -312.5 is short without being unplayable. If Yandex keep OG from snowballing early skirmishes, the favourite should have enough control to finish the job.
| Best Odds | PARIVISION -200 at BetOnline | Tundra Esports +140 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 12:20 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
PARIVISION are the right side at this price.
Tundra can make this awkward because they are strong enough to punish any draft that gives them a clear win condition, but PARIVISION should have the better all-round profile in a one-map setting. Their ability to win through several different lanes gives them more breathing room if the early game is not perfect.
The price is fair rather than generous, but -200 is still playable. PARIVISION should be able to keep the map stable and stop Tundra from turning it into a draft-only upset.
| Best Odds | BetBoom Team -117.65 at BetOnline | Team Liquid -117.65 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 12:20 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Liquid get the narrow nod in a true coin-flip.
There is no price edge here, so the pick comes down to which team looks more trustworthy in one map. Liquid’s steadier late-game calls and ability to reset after a rough lane make them slightly more appealing, especially if BetBoom try to force the game into constant fights.
BetBoom can absolutely win if they hit their first timing and keep Liquid reacting, but at the same quote, Liquid look like the better side to hold in a match that could swing on one big Roshan fight.
| Best Odds | Team Falcons -153.85 at BetOnline | Aurora Gaming +110 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 13:30 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Aurora are the value side at plus money.
Falcons deserve favouritism, but this is not the kind of BO1 where the gap should be too wide. Aurora have enough discipline to slow the map down and enough teamfight bite to punish Falcons if the favourite gets too aggressive around the first major objectives.
Falcons may still have the higher ceiling, but +110 gives Aurora enough value in a one-map match. If they can keep the lanes close, the upset is very live.
| Best Odds | Xtreme Gaming +130 at BetOnline | Team Yandex -181.82 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 13:30 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Yandex look like the cleaner pick here.
Xtreme are dangerous if they get enough farm priority into their cores, but Yandex have the more reliable BO1 profile. They can apply pressure earlier, force uncomfortable rotations, and make Xtreme defend before the map opens up into the kind of late game they would prefer.
At -181.82, Yandex still sit in a playable range. If they keep Xtreme from getting a clean scaling start, they should be able to take this map.
| Best Odds | ex-Heroic +250 at BetOnline | Team Spirit -400 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 14:40 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Spirit are short again, but still the better side to back.
ex-Heroic need a draft edge to make this interesting, because if the map plays out evenly, Spirit should have the stronger teamfight execution and better late-game control. BO1 variance is real, but there is still a clear quality gap here.
The -400 is not flashy, but it stays above the line and matches the matchup. Spirit should be able to manage the map well enough to avoid the upset.
| Best Odds | OG +160 at BetOnline | Tundra Esports -222.22 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 14:40 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Tundra look like the right side if this map stays structured.
OG can be dangerous in a BO1 because they are willing to lean into aggressive ideas and make teams uncomfortable early. The problem is that Tundra are usually better at punishing overextensions and turning one mistake into a clean objective sequence.
The -222.22 is playable for a team that should have the more controlled approach. OG can make the first 20 minutes messy, but Tundra are more likely to convert the key map movements.
| Best Odds | GLYPH +280 at BetOnline | Team Liquid -454.55 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 15:50 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Liquid are short, but this is still a usable favourite price.
GLYPH can make this uncomfortable if they start quickly, but Liquid should be much better at correcting the map once the early lanes settle. In a BO1, that composure matters because a team cannot afford to spend too long guessing its way through the mid-game.
The -454.55 clears the cutoff and looks fair for the stronger side. Liquid still need to respect the format, but they should have enough control to avoid the upset.
| Best Odds | PARIVISION -153.85 at BetOnline | BetBoom Team +110 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 15:50 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
BetBoom Team are the better price in one of the strongest games of the slate.
PARIVISION are strong enough to deserve favouritism, but this is not a matchup where they should be treated as clearly safer. BetBoom can fight early, scale into the late game and punish any hesitation around key objectives, which gives them several realistic ways into this BO1.
At +110, the value sits with the underdog. If BetBoom can keep the lanes close and turn this into a decisive mid-game teamfight map, they can win outright.
| Best Odds | Team Falcons -138.89 at BetOnline | Team Yandex +100 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 17:00 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Yandex are worth backing at even money.
Falcons have the bigger reputation, but this is a tough late-day BO1 against a team that can absolutely punish a slow start. Yandex have enough pace to force Falcons into early defensive decisions, and that is where the underdog price becomes interesting.
Falcons may still win if they keep the map calm and play through their stronger late-game structure, but +100 is too good to ignore in a one-map match. Yandex are the value side.
| Best Odds | Aurora Gaming -105.26 at BetOnline | Team Spirit -133.33 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 17:00 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Spirit are the better side to trust in a close one.
Aurora at nearly even money has appeal, especially in a BO1, but Spirit have the stronger late-game profile and should be better equipped if the match reaches a tense objective fight. The key is whether Aurora can make the early map uncomfortable enough to stop Spirit from playing their usual tempo.
At -133.33, Spirit are still a fair price. Aurora can make this tight, but Spirit look more likely to find the decisive fight and close the map.
| Best Odds | Xtreme Gaming +115 at BetOnline | Tundra Esports -161.29 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 18:10 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Tundra are the cleaner late-slate favourite.
Xtreme can absolutely win this if they draft enough scaling and avoid being pushed around early, but Tundra should have a better read on how to use the first 20 minutes. In a BO1, that can be enough to make the favourite price worthwhile.
The -161.29 is playable for a team that should have more consistent control through the map. Xtreme have upset upside, but Tundra look more likely to land the first big timing and protect it.
| Best Odds | ex-Heroic +210 at BetOnline | Team Liquid -312.5 at SportsBetting |
| When | May 27, 2026 | 18:10 CEST |
| Watch Live | BLAST Dota, Twitch |
Team Liquid should be the right side to finish the day.
ex-Heroic have a path if they can draft early pressure and stop Liquid from settling into a controlled map, but Liquid are much more trustworthy if the game reaches even footing after the lanes. Their ability to reset and play through objectives should matter in a late group-stage BO1.
The -312.5 is not huge, but it is fair. Liquid should have too many ways to win if they keep ex-Heroic from turning the first few fights into a runaway lead.
