PARIVISION are overwhelming favourites at -5000, but there is almost no appeal in backing them at such a short price. Even with the favourites expected to dominate, the potential return does not justify the risk of a standalone match-winner wager.
Team Resilience can be backed at +900. They face a huge task, but a best-of-three at least gives the underdogs an opportunity to turn the match with one strong draft and put PARIVISION under genuine pressure.
PARIVISION are clearly the likelier winners, but Team Resilience at +900 provide the only worthwhile value in the match-winner market.
Team Resilience to win
BetBoom Team are strong favourites at -454.55, with Team OG available at +280. The favourite is short, but the price remains just high enough to consider in a standard best-of-three match-winner market.
OG have a much bigger return available if they can spring the upset, but they will need to avoid falling behind early and giving BetBoom control of the map. Over a full BO3, BetBoom should have enough opportunities to adjust if the opening game goes against them.
The Team OG price has some appeal, but BetBoom Team remain the more dependable selection at -454.55.
BetBoom Team to win
1win enter this series as favourites at -263.16, which is a much more playable price than several of the shorter favourites on Thursday’s card. Nigma Galaxy are the outsiders at +180.
Nigma have enough experience to make the match competitive, but 1win should be difficult to oppose if they can establish control during the laning phase and turn that into the first major objectives.
There is some upside to Nigma Galaxy at the bigger price, although 1win offer the stronger match-winner option at -263.16.
1win to win
Team Falcons are priced at just -666.67, making them one of the shortest favourites on the card. While they are expected to win, that price falls below the level we want for a standalone match-winner selection.
LGD Gaming are available at +380 and provide the more interesting risk-to-reward option. They will need to draft well and keep Falcons from taking over the map through their early rotations, but the return is large enough to justify taking the chance.
Falcons are the more likely winners, but LGD Gaming at +380 offer the better betting angle at these prices.
LGD Gaming to win
Team Liquid are strong favourites against Vici Gaming at -454.55. It is another short price, but it remains above our minimum threshold and can still work as a straightforward match-winner bet.
Vici Gaming are available at +280 and will need to punish any slow start from Liquid. Their larger price provides obvious upside, but they face the tougher task of putting together two winning maps in the series.
Vici Gaming should not be ignored completely, but Team Liquid remain the safer selection at -454.55.
Team Liquid to win
Aurora Gaming are heavily favoured at -769.23, leaving very little value in backing them despite their clear advantage in the market. The price sits below our usual minimum for a match-winner pick.
GamerLegion are the alternative at +400. They will need to find an edge through the draft and carry it into the lanes, as allowing Aurora to play from ahead would make the upset extremely difficult.
This is a high-risk selection, but GamerLegion at +400 offer far more upside than taking Aurora at an extremely restrictive price.
GamerLegion to win
Team Yandex are priced at only -5000, leaving almost no reason to back the favourites in the two-way market. Even a dominant matchup on paper does not make that potential return attractive enough.
L1 are massive outsiders at +900. The upset is clearly unlikely, but the underdog price at least provides a meaningful reward if they can catch Team Yandex off guard and turn the BO3 into a much tighter contest than expected.
Team Yandex should win more often than not, but L1 at +900 are the only side worth considering at the available match-winner prices.
L1 to win
Team Spirit round out the slate as favourites at -285.71, while Xtreme Gaming are available at +190. That gives Spirit a clear market edge while still leaving a reasonable return for bettors.
Xtreme Gaming have enough quality to punish mistakes and their underdog price is appealing, but they will need to avoid falling behind during the opening stages and allowing Spirit to dictate the flow of the map.
Xtreme Gaming can make this competitive, but Team Spirit are the more reliable match-winner choice at -285.71.
Team Spirit to win
