DARK vs RAGNAROK SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Dark -250 at BetOnline | RagnaroK +175 at BetOnline
When: November 8, 2022 | 20:00 AEDT

Park “Dark” Ryung-woo and Shin “RagnaroK” Hee-beom last met during AfreecaTV Champions Cup South Korea Qualifiers at the end of October, when RagnaroK won 2-0. It marked his first head-to-head victory against Dark since IntoTheAlphaX Pro Circuit 4 in 2020 and only his fourth in history.

Knowing how one-sided these meetings have been over the last eight years, it’s expected to see esports betting sites pricing Dark as the favourite. But we have to consider much better RagnaroK has been playing lately.

RagnaroK has been steadily improving since the turn of the year and is currently ranked no.11 in the world and no.7 in South Korea. Moreover, he has improved his performances in mirrored matchups and heads into this bout with a 70.37% ZvZ win rate. In contrast, Dark’s ZvZ win rate is at 63.16%, which is slightly lower than his career average of 63.64%.

Dark is a more established player and (still) higher rated than RagnaroK, but at the offered StarCraft II betting odds, the value is with the outsider. RagnaroK won against Dark just over two weeks ago, and there’s no reason to believe he can’t do it again.

CLEM vs ZOUN SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: Clem -277.78 at BetOnline | Zoun +200 at BetOnline
When: November 8, 2022 | 20:45 AEDT
Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/x5_pig)

Clément “Clem” Desplanches is priced as a huge favourite for his eighth meeting with Park “Zoun” Han-sol, which makes sense knowing that the French SCII pro has won all but one clash against the Korean – during StayAtHome Story Cup #3 (1-3) in March 2021. Since then, Clem has claimed three head-to-head wins, including two 2-0 sweeps in 2022.

Besides his solid record against Zoun, Clem has also won a lot since September – two ESL Open Cup tournaments and DH SC2 Masters 2022 Atlanta: Europe. In October, Clem added two semifinal appearances in ESL Open Cup #146 and #147.

Zoun has not won a single event since ESL Open Cup #130 Korea in July and has just three victories since August 10. That stretch includes a run of one win and 12 losses between late August and early October. Moreover, Zoun enters this bout with a 41.38% win rate over the last 58 outings (46.43% against Terran).

In comparison, Clem has a 72.51% win rate with a +72% against all three races, including Protoss (72.29%). There’s a huge gap between the two players, and anything besides a 2-0 sweep will be a disappointment for Clem.
