Stage 1 continues: today we have the second wave of matches in the North America, South America, and Asia Pacific League. We've selected five matches that deserve attention from a betting perspective—based on team form, statistics, and head-to-head history.

DarkZero to win against Cloud9 (1.35)

DarkZero won their only head-to-head match against Cloud9—8:7. Since then, the team has only gotten stronger, while Cloud9, despite having well-known names in their roster, has yet to show consistent play. DarkZero has an 80% win rate in their last five matches, while Cloud9 has only 20%. A solid bet on a more organized and cohesive team.

Spacestation Gaming to win against ENVY (1.35)

ENVY has yet to prove themselves in matches against main division teams—they have a 0% win rate in recent games. Spacestation is also far from perfect, but they have defeated Team Cruelty and performed confidently against other mid-tier teams. ENVY looks weaker in terms of experience and game structure.

SCARZ to win against Dplus (1.88)

In the spring, SCARZ already faced Dplus—the match ended with a score of 7:2. SCARZ took 4 rounds on defense and 3 on offense. In recent matches, Dplus lost four times, including to BDS and DarkZero, while SCARZ appears more stable. Given the previous result, betting on SCARZ at odds of 1.88 seems justified.

LOUD to win against LOS (1.40)

LOS lost all five of their last matches, including to 9z and Black Dragons. LOUD, on the other hand, defeated Spacestation Gaming, Fnatic, and Team BDS. They show a 60% win rate and clear discipline. The class difference is noticeable, and LOUD looks like the favorite in terms of both form and play style.

Ninjas in Pyjamas to win against Team Liquid (1.85)

These teams have a long history of head-to-head matches: Liquid won three out of the last five, but each time with a minimal margin. Currently, NiP is showing growth, including a victory over FaZe, and maintains a competitive roster. Liquid is unstable—with a shuffled roster and weak matches against CAG and W7M. Betting on NiP is a good choice in terms of risk and probability.

Remember to bet responsibly: bets should be well-founded, not emotional. And remember: the winner is not the one who knows all the odds, but the one who can interpret them correctly.
