With multiple surprise results on Day 1 — including NRG blowing up both FaZe and NiP — the entire Swiss bracket has shifted into chaos mode. That’s exactly where sharp bettors win.
Day 2 brings a stacked plate with real value across both favorites and underdogs. Here are all four match previews with main picks + full side picks.
M80 vs NRG
NRG have been the surprise storyline so far, but M80 match up extremely well here.
The teams know each other inside out, and the firepower gap shows when daps’ 0.74 rifling rating gets exposed in high-pressure maps.
M80 are the more structured and more consistent team — and with revenge from Fragadelphia on their mind, the 3-0 path is right there.
Main Pick: M80 ML
Side Picks:
M80 -4.5 Match Rounds
Swisher over kills (Maps 1 & 2)
Lake over kills (Map 1)
slaxz- over kills (Map 2)
br0 over kills (Map 1 & 2)
Fnatic vs Imperial
Fnatic are in a weird love–hate cycle with Brazilian teams this Major, and this matchup won’t be any easier.
They struggled against weaker opposition than Imperial, and unless blameF gets serious help, they’re in trouble.
If try gets even average support, this becomes a real upset spot at great value.
Main Pick:
Imperial ML (2.15 odds)
Side Picks: Imperial +2.5 Rounds
chelo over kills
try over kills
jambo over kills
FaZe vs NiP — FaZe -4.5 / FaZe ML
Both teams expected to enter 2-0. Instead, both ate NRG’s punches.
But this is where FaZe typically wake up. karrigan and crew rarely drop back-to-back BO1s to underdogs.
NiP don’t have the map depth or the firepower to match a motivated FaZe lineup.
Main Picks:
FaZe -4.5 Rounds
FaZe ML (safer)
Player Props:
frozen over kills
xKacpersky over kills
PARIVISION vs B8 — PARIVISION ML
xiELO and Jame have been carrying like absolute maniacs, but they can’t drag deadweight forever.
The good news? They probably won’t need to today.
PARIVISION’s structure and consistency should be enough to get past a B8 team that relies heavily on headtr1ck’s streakiness.
Main Pick: PARIVISION ML (1.72 odds)
Player Props:
xiELO over kills
Jame over kills
npl over kills
