The group stage of the DreamLeague Season 26 is nearing its climax. With the pressure mounting, teams are giving it their all — which means the value of precise calculation increases as well. We've selected four bets for May 26, based on gameplay patterns and hidden trends usually noticed only by analysts.

Aurora Gaming and Talon Esports will play more than 2.5 maps (odds 2.10)

Both teams tend to have unstable series, where the first map rarely determines the entire match. Aurora can surprise with their drafts, while Talon capitalize on the opponent's mistakes. Betting on over 2.5 maps is a bet on an even match and an extended scenario.

BetBoom Team will defeat Nigma Galaxy (odds 1.45)

BetBoom demonstrate consistency over the long run and rarely falter against less organized teams. Nigma Galaxy are unstable and often lose momentum after the first map. A BetBoom victory is a bet on structure and experience.

Gaimin Gladiators will defeat Yakult's Brothers (odds 1.40)

The difference in execution and coordination levels between the teams is too great. Gaimin consistently close out such series without unnecessary risk. A Gaimin victory is a bet on class, pace, and the absence of surprises.

PARIVISION will defeat Team Liquid (odds 1.30)

 PARIVISION showcase better drafts and implement aggression from the very first minutes. Liquid make mistakes during the transition phase and struggle to read unconventional picks. A PARIVISION victory is a bet on form and stability.

In the final days of the group stage, it's important not to overestimate "big names." True strength is determined not by status but by understanding the meta, drafts, and in-game adaptation.
