On May 18, we anticipate the continuation of a tier-1 tournament and a couple of tier-2 matches. PGL Astana 2025, CCT Season 3 Europe Series 1, and XSE Pro League Season 4 promise to deliver thrilling battles. We have selected five of the most intriguing predictions, based on team form, map pool, and current analytics.

Victory for FURIA against Aurora (2.05)

Aurora has been showing excellent form, confidently defeating The Mongolz 2-0 and reaching the semifinals, but they lost to Astralis 2-1. Meanwhile, FURIA lost to Spirit also with a score of 2-1. Spirit is a stronger opponent, and with a Kazakh player on the team, FURIA is favored by the crowd, possibly benefiting from the arena's atmosphere.

Astralis vs Spirit: Total over 3.5 maps (1.58)

Spirit is considered one of the tournament favorites, but their path to the grand final has been challenging. Astralis, despite internal issues, have potential and can put up a fight given their excellent gameplay. A tough contest is expected, possibly extending beyond three maps.

Victory for PARIVISION against OG (1.80)

However, in the only head-to-head meeting between these teams in March 2025, OG secured a 2-1 victory, but the match was tense and PARIVISION showed commendable play. Recently, OG has been displaying inconsistent results, which could favor PARIVISION. Considering PARIVISION's current form and their drive for revenge, betting on their victory seems justified.

Victory for TYLOO against Rare Atom (odds 1.40)

Recent encounters between TYLOO and Rare Atom show an advantage for TYLOO, with the last three matches won without dropping a map. Both teams exhibit strong individual performances, but TYLOO appears more stable in recent matches, potentially giving them the edge in the upcoming battle.

Victory for Nemiga against ENCE (1.75)

Nemiga confidently began their playoff journey in the CCT by defeating Monte and ECSTATIC. On the other hand, ENCE has been showing inconsistent results. Considering Nemiga's current form and motivation, they appear to be the favorites in this match.

Remember the responsibility: bets should be justified, not emotional. And remember: the winner is not the one who knows all the odds but the one who knows how to interpret them correctly.
