Bookmaker Rating Bet
FlyToMoon vs Ninjas in Pajamas – 15:00 Moscow time
The game day will begin with the most difficult match for predictions – firstly, it is now difficult to evaluate the FlyToMoon form, which played its last match on June 6, and secondly, the teams are quite close in level. FlyToMoon is a team that can beat any opponent (perhaps, except for Team Secret), but at the same time it can also lose to anyone. As for Ninjas in Pajamas, the team of Akbar SoNNeikO Butaev started well at the tournament, showing an excellent game in a meeting with Team Liquid and then defeating Team Empire. The last full-time meeting of the teams ended with the victory of the “pilots” with a score of 2: 1, however, recently NiP have had more competitive practice, so I won’t take risks with choosing the winner of this match. I will assume that the teams will show a close level game and will not be able to figure out each other for two cards.
Rate: ₽500 for total cards 2.5 more with a coefficient of 1.895.
Nigma vs Team Unique – 18:00 Moscow time
Another team that can beat anyone if they want is Nigma. Amer’s team Miracle-al-Barakvi started the tournament with a defeat from OG, but showed a good game (at least on the first map she won). Team Unique, although it received the unspoken title of the Storm of Favorites, is unlikely to be able to impose a Nigma fight. The match with ViKin.gg was indicative – Unique overcame the peak of strength in the match with Team Secret at ESL One Birmingham 2023, and opponents managed to adapt to the drafts performed by Ivan VANSKOR Skorokhod. I don’t think this match will bring surprises – Nigma should easily take three points here.
Rate: ₽500 to win Nigma with a score of 2: 0 with a coefficient of 1.46.
Team Liquid vs Team Empire – 21:00 Moscow time
Another match in which there is a clear favorite. Yesterday’s Empire game with Ninjas in Pajamas proved that Empire’s victory over the Alliance was more an accident. “Empire” is too young and inexperienced for competitions of this level and such strong rivals. Liquid, like Empire, skated on the Alliance skating rink, but both in personal skill and team performance, the “liquid” is clearly stronger. I think that Aiden iNSaNiA Sarkoi will easily be able to beat Empire even in the draft and this match will not be able to surprise either – Liquid will easily pick up a meeting with the score 2: 0.
Rate: ₽500 to win Team Liquid with a handicap on the cards (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.65.

FlyToMoon vs Ninjas in pajamas
The most unpredictable match of today’s gaming day. Yes, the latest FTM results are better than those of NiP, but this is unlikely to somehow affect the outcome of the confrontation. Both teams are bright and interesting, but insanely unstable in terms of the final result.
NiP always impose a stubborn struggle and look decent even in lost series, as was the case with Team Liquid, Nigma or VP.P. In turn, the FTM often wins the weaker CIS teams on a dry basis, but predominantly plays three cards with teams of equal strength. I look forward to a tense cut from this match and therefore bet on total over 2.5 cards.
Rate: ₽750 for total cards over 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.895.
Nigma vs Team Unique
With all due respect to the VANSKOR team, Nigma in this pair looks like a wholly favorite. I do not believe in a miracle in this match and that Unique will be able to cling to at least one card. Moreover, given Nigma’s aggressive style and how the team is able to build up and realize the advantage, I would suggest that the confrontation will end fairly quickly. I’ll try to catch a nice coefficient of 2.08 and bet that the first card will end in less than 32.5 minutes.
Rate: ₽500 for a total of less than 32.5 minutes on the first map with a coefficient of 2.08.
Team Liquid vs Team Empire
The devastating defeat of Team Empire in the match against NiP showed that success in the duel with Alliance was more an accident than an indicative result. Liquid now plays in a completely “different league”, which is unattainable for the CIS team. For Empire, this is generally the first tournament in a long time at which she will meet with European giants. Expect that the team on the move will be able to play with them on an equal footing, is clearly not worth it. Liquid now looks like a shooting range-1 team, except perhaps to move Team Secret off the pedestal, perhaps it is not ready yet. But teams from the CIS, especially from the second tier, are not a problem for her. Therefore, betting on a dry victory Team Liquid seems to me the most reliable option.
Rate: ₽750 at 2: 0 in favor of Team Liquid with a coefficient of 1.625.
Preliminary Results
The opinions of the participants coincided regarding the outcome of the match, but were divided on the issue of some bets. The key fight may be the confrontation Nigma – Team Unique.
