On June 11, several key matches will take place online as part of the closed qualifiers for the Esports World Cup 2025 and the Chinese closed qualifiers for The International 2025. Teams are entering the playoffs, where the cost of each mistake increases significantly. We have highlighted five bets based on the current form, drafting habits, and playing styles of the participants.

Runa Team will defeat One Move (odds 1.72)

Runa Team showcases mature gameplay with precise rotations and smart map control. One Move, on the other hand, often rely on a single player and do not always adapt quickly during the series. A victory for Runa is a bet on stability and macro play (1.72).

Natus Vincere will defeat eSpoiled (odds 1.32)

NAVI operates in an organized manner, avoids unnecessary risks, and consistently wins drafts. eSpoiled does not yet seem ready for such a structured opponent. A victory for NAVI is a bet on discipline and execution (1.32).

Xtreme Gaming will defeat Yakult's Brothers (odds 1.58)

Yakult’s Brothers have already surprised in this qualifier, but Xtreme is a different level of opponent: precise tempo execution, smart laning, and experience in international matches. A victory for Xtreme is a bet on class and tournament maturity (1.58).

L1ga Team will defeat Cyber Goose (odds 1.58)

L1ga Team demonstrates coordinated team fights and a deep pool strategy. Cyber Goose plays inconsistently and often loses the mid-game. A victory for L1ga is a bet on synergy and form growth (1.58).

4Pirates will defeat Team Next Level (odds C)

4Pirates act confidently: aggressive early-game and good resource allocation. Team Next Level has yet to show they are ready for such intense play. A victory for 4Pirates is a bet on tempo pressure and experience (1.58).

In the decisive stages of the qualifiers, every detail matters—from the first pick to Roshan control. Now is the time when teams reveal their strongest sides, making it the best moment for analyzing form and placing bets.
