The group stage of the FISSURE Universe: Episode 5 continues on Tuesday, July 2. The schedule includes six BO2 matches. We've compiled five top bets that often fly under the radar but consistently deliver results. Everything is based on the current form of the teams, statistics, and draft characteristics.

Gaimin Gladiators and Team Yandex will draw (odds 2.15)

One of the key features of the BO2 format is the high likelihood of draws, especially in matches with differences in experience but not in form. GG have unstable opening games, while Yandex can surprise with aggression on the first map. A worthy risk with excellent odds.

Nigma Galaxy and AVULUS will split points (odds 2.40)

Even if Nigma Galaxy is the formal favorite, their current form leaves room for mistakes. AVULUS have already proven they can take maps through draft and tempo. An excellent option for those looking for a bet with a high margin and justified risk.

PARIVISION will defeat Team Tidebound (odds 1.60)

Systematic Dota and reliable macro-decisions are the hallmarks of PARIVISION. They rarely lose to underdogs, especially at the start of a tournament. Tidebound have yet to demonstrate stability. A straightforward but professionally justified bet.

Aurora Gaming will overcome AVULUS (odds 1.55)

Aurora operate cohesively and rarely make mistakes during the draft phase. AVULUS noticeably falter in the late game and fall short in team coordination. In a series where discipline matters, Aurora looks like a confident choice.

Team Liquid and Heroic will draw (odds 2.20)

An exchange of maps in this series seems the most likely scenario. Liquid do not show stability, and Heroic have repeatedly shown they can challenge even top rosters. A classic bet for BO2 and one of the favorite options for experienced players.
