Mid games (Bo1)
- 15:00 BetBoom Team (1.57) – Legacy (2.35)
BetBoom Team, after a loss to FlyQuest (6:13) in the second round, found themselves in the lower bracket, which was a disappointment for their fans. However, their victory over Nemiga Gaming (13:7) in the first round showed that the team has potential. Legacy, on the other hand, defeated Chinggis Warriors (13:10) after an initial loss to Lynn Vision (7:13). The odds slightly favor BetBoom, but Legacy could surprise if they play at their best. Prediction: BetBoom will win by a narrow margin.
- 15:00 compLexity Gaming (1.74) – NRG Esports (2.11)
compLexity, after an opening loss to OG (3:14), managed to bounce back by defeating Fluxo (13:9). NRG Esports, in contrast, beat TyLoo (13:5) but then fell to Heroic (5:13). Both teams have shown inconsistency; moreover, compLexity are playing at the tournament without one of their key players, hallzerk, who couldn’t obtain a U.S. visa and is missing the event. Nevertheless, the team has better coordination and is rightfully considered the favorite. Prediction: compLexity will win.
- 16:15 Lynn Vision (2.23) – Nemiga Gaming (1.63)
Lynn Vision, after a win over Legacy (13:7), lost to Wildcard Gaming (17:19) in a tight match. Nemiga Gaming defeated Imperial (13:9), but their opening loss to BetBoom (7:13) somewhat dented their confidence. The odds favor Nemiga, but Lynn Vision could pull off an upset if they continue playing aggressively. Prediction: Lynn Vision will win in overtime.
- 16:15 OG (1.61) – TyLoo (2.25)
OG, after an opening win over compLexity (14:3), lost to B8 (9:13), which came as a surprise. TyLoo, having beaten Metizport (13:4), showed they can compete even after a loss to NRG (5:13). OG looks like the favorite, but TyLoo has a chance if they play with discipline. Prediction: OG will win, but it will be close.
Advancement games (Bo3)
- 17:30 B8 (1.48) – Wildcard Gaming (2.50)
B8, after a victory over Imperial (13:11), defeated OG (13:9), showcasing the individual skill of their players. Wildcard Gaming crushed Metizport (13:1) and narrowly beat Lynn Vision (19:17) in a thrilling match. The odds favor B8, but Wildcard could capitalize on their momentum. Prediction: B8 will win with an advantage.
- 17:30 Heroic (1.30) – FlyQuest (3.30)
Heroic looks like one of the favorites of the stage after victories over Chinggis Warriors (13:7) and NRG (13:5). FlyQuest beat Fluxo (13:7) and BetBoom (13:6), but Heroic is on another level. The odds rightfully favor Heroic, and I agree with the bookmakers. Prediction: Heroic will win confidently.
Elimination games (Bo3)
- 20:00 Chinggis Warriors (3.20) – Fluxo (1.33)
Chinggis Warriors, after losses to Heroic (7:13) and Legacy (10:13), are in a tough spot. Fluxo lost to FlyQuest (7:13) and compLexity (9:13) but still have a chance. The odds favor Fluxo, and I believe they will come out on top. Prediction: Fluxo will win.
- 20:00 Imperial (1.56) – Metizport (2.48)
Imperial, after losses to B8 (11:13) and Nemiga (9:13), looks unstable. However, Metizport has been the biggest disappointment of the first stage so far, as the team has only won five rounds across two maps – Wildcard (1:13) and TyLoo (4:13). Prediction: Imperial will win, but the match will be tense.
