It is one of those cards where there are plenty of favourites expected to get through, but there are also a couple of shorter-priced spots where taking a swing on the underdog makes more sense than forcing a tiny number.

XTREME GAMING vs NATUS VINCERE

Best Odds	Xtreme Gaming -153.85 at BetOnline | NaVi +110 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 11:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

This feels like a pretty fair line, but Xtreme Gaming still look like the safer side.

  The bookies' bookie

Natus Vincere are live enough to make it awkward, especially in a round-one best-of-three where everyone is still settling into the event, but Xtreme come in as the more trustworthy favourite. At this sort of number, there is enough back to stay with the team the market already expects to edge it.

TEAM SPIRIT vs VICI GAMING

Best Odds	Spirit -208.33 at BetOnline | Vici +150 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 11:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

Vici Gaming are good enough to stay alive in patches, but Team Spirit still look like the more complete side heading into a matchup like this. In a first-round series, that steadiness matters, and Spirit have the kind of profile that usually makes them hard to oppose at a mid-range favourite price.

TEAM LIQUID vs GAMERLEGION

Best Odds	Liquid -250 at BetOnline | GamerLegion +170 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 14:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

Liquid look like the right side here.

This does not feel like the kind of matchup where there is a huge need to get clever. GamerLegion can make a series messy, but Team Liquid still come in with the stronger overall look and the sort of structure that should hold up better over a full best-of-three.

AURORA vs SOUTH AMERICAN REJECTS

Best Odds	Aurora -833.33 at BetOnline | SAR +430 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 14:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

This is one of the boldest upset looks on the board, but it is a lot more appealing than taking the favourite at a tiny price.

Aurora should still be winning this most of the time, but -833.33 is simply too short to be interesting on its own. In an opening-round best-of-three, one weird draft, one slow start, or one scrappy map can change the whole feel of a series. That is where a dog like South American Rejects becomes worth a look.

They do not need to be the better team overall for this to carry value. They just need to drag Aurora into a mess and make them uncomfortable. At +430, that is enough to make the upset worth the shot.

BETBOOM TEAM vs VIRTUS.PRO

Best Odds	BetBoom -263.16 at BetOnline | Virtus.Pro +180 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 17:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

BetBoom look like the better team and the better betting side.

Virtus.pro are not the easiest team to put away if they get some momentum, but BetBoom still have more overall quality and feel better equipped to handle the longer series. At this price, it is not a blowout-value spot, though it is still solid enough to stay with the favourite.

PARIVISION vs MOUZ

Best Odds	PARIVISION -588.24 at BetOnline | MOUZ +340 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 17:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

This is the other short-price match where the underdog has to be the more interesting betting side.

PARIVISION deserve to be favourites, but once the line gets this low, the question shifts away from who should win and toward whether the number is actually worth backing. In a best-of-three, that answer is usually no. One dropped map can flip everything, and that is all it takes for the favourite to suddenly start feeling pressure.

• 

  The bookies' bookie

MOUZ are not the obvious side on paper, but they do not need to be. They just need to make this awkward enough for the price to matter, and at +340, that is a much more tempting angle than forcing another near-unbackable favourite.

---

TUNDRA ESPORTS vs HEROIC

Best Odds	Tundra -454.55 at BetOnline | Heroic +280 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 20:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

Tundra still look like the right side, even if the price is doing a lot of the talking.

Heroic can absolutely make stretches of this competitive, but Tundra feel like the more settled team to trust across a best-of-three. It is not an exciting head-to-head number, but it is still the side that makes the most sense on paper.

---

TEAM YANDEX vs TEAM FALCONS

Best Odds	Yandex -147.06 at BetOnline | Falcons +105 at SportsBetting
When	April 18, 2026 | 20:00 EEST
Watch Live	PGL Dota 2, Twitch

This is probably the most interesting pure value spot on the card.

The market has Team Yandex slightly shorter, but this feels close enough that the plus-money side deserves a hard look. In a matchup that already projects as tight, Team Falcons at the bigger number stand out as the more interesting betting angle, especially for anyone looking to avoid another short favourite.
