eSportBet.com presents a full preview of the second day of the StarCraft II Esports World Cup tournament.

ByuN v Zoun

Best Odds: ByuN -117.65 at BetOnline | Zoun -128.21 at SportsBetting
When: July 23, 2025 | 13:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Park “Zoun” Han‑sol swept Cho “ByuN” Hyun‑woo 3‑0 at April’s WardiTV Spring semi‑final, but the Terran ace has tightened his late‑game EMP control since then. Expect furious Marine‑Marauder skirmishes on fast maps like Tokamak and Pylon; if Zoun reaches carriers, the odds flip.

SHIN v Trigger

Best Odds: SHIN -400 at BetOnline | Trigger +230 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 13:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Shin “SHIN” Hee‑beom loves roach‑ravager timing punches, yet Canada’s Yoon “Trigger” Hong has twice blink‑microed his way to 2‑1 wins over the Zerg in the past month. If Trigger survives the early swell, his stalker splits snowball.

Rogue v HeRoMaRinE

Best Odds: Rogue -384.62 at SportsBetting | HeRoMaRinE +220 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 14:30 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Lee “Rogue” Byeong‑ryul’s ling‑bane floods into lurker tech smothered Gabriel “HeRoMaRinE” Segat 2‑0 in April. Unless “Big Gabe” lands decisive triple‑CC tank pushes early, the Korean Zerg’s macro squeeze should prevail.

Clem v Solar

Best Odds: Clem -833.33 at SportsBetting | Solar +380 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 17:30 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

The defending champion Clément “Clem” Desplanches juggles multi‑prong drops better than anyone, but Kang “Solar” Min‑soo’s lurker‑viper grind steals late games. Their last two Bo5s both hit distance, and today’s macro‑friendly map pool suggests another marathon.

Reynor v Maru

Best Odds: Reynor -125 at BetOnline | Maru -125 at SportsBetting
When: July 23, 2025 | 17:30 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Riccardo “Reynor” Romiti pipped Cho “Maru” Seong‑ju 2‑1 during May’s GSL groups, yet Maru’s ghost‑liberator late game looks imperious at present. Expect relentless harassment from both — setting up a potential classic.

herO v Cure

Best Odds: herO -666.67 at BetOnline | Cure +320 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 19:00 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Kim “herO” Joon‑ho’s Oracle‑into‑Blink aggression punishes passive Terrans, but Kim “Cure” Doh‑wook has pushed his 2025 TvP win‑rate past 60 %. Map veto mind‑games will be decisive, but herO should come out on top in the end.

Classic v Serral

Best Odds: Classic +190 at BetOnline | Serral -312.5 at BetOnline
When: July 23, 2025 | 20:30 AST
Watch Live: Twitch

Cho “Classic” Sung‑won relies on triple‑Colossus timing pushes; Joona “Serral” Sotala’s unrivalled late‑game control makes him one. of the toughest to go past on Wednesday. Classic must strike early before creep spread and vipers appear.
