Entity stunned Gaimin Gladiators in the tournament’s opening week, putting them in a perfect spot to chase the ticket for the Arlington Major. But one victory does not mean much, especially for a team that placed sixth in the previous tour.

Like Entity, goonsquad secured a crucial win last week when they defeated Team Liquid (2-1); granted, the series could have easily ended in a 2-0 sweep for Liquid, who choked a massive lead on map 2 and completely fell apart on map 3.

Results-wise, there isn’t much to separate goonsquad and Entity, and it seemed like the esports betting sites have priced Entity as the favourites solely because they looked better in their game against the Gladiators. This should be a very close series that has no clear favourite in our book, so we have to take goonsquad at plus money.

Two of North America’s top Dota 2 teams in TSM and Quincy Crew will clash on Wednesday in a crucial match that might decide which of the two squads will qualify for the upcoming Major. Last time out, TSM defeated Quincy Crew (1-0) in the DPC Tour 2 Division I tiebreakers; however, they lost the regular-season bout (1-2) just two days prior, on April 20.

Of the three meetings, TSM lead the head-to-head 2-1 but are just 4-3 up in maps won, so it’s not like TSM are a vastly superior team to Quincy Crew. Moreover, QC look much more stable now following the re-signing of Rodrigo “LESL?O” Santos and Arif “MSS” Anwar, who joined the team at the end of May, alongside former Team Secret, NiP, and Tundra Esports captain Adrian “Fata” Trinks.

TSM have been phenomenal this season, with a runner-up finish in DPC Tour 2 Div I and a silver medal from ESL One Stockholm 2022. But they were hardly better than Quincy Crew in April, yet they’re $1.44 favourites against an improved QC lineup. Quincy Crew at $2.62 are no-brainer pick.
