OG vs Team Liquid - BLAST Slam 6

📊 Moneyline Odds & Implied Probability

Pre-match odds generally place OG as the strong favorite at roughly 1.25–1.30, while Team Liquid are priced as the underdog around 3.50–3.80.

When these prices are converted into normalized probabilities after adjusting for bookmaker margin, the market expectation becomes something like:

• OG win: ~75–78%
• Liquid win: ~22–25%

This means the consensus market thinks OG will win the series around three out of every four times. Liquid are recognized as underdogs but still carry a legitimate upset chance in a long series format.

📈 Series Probability Breakdown (BO5 Context)

Because this is a best-of-five, the favorite needs to take three maps. Based on implied odds and typical strength differences, a reasonable distribution of likely outcomes looks like this:

• OG 3–0: ~33–38% probability

• OG 3–1: ~30–34% probability

• OG 3–2: ~8–12% probability

• Liquid 3–2: ~6–8% probability

• Liquid 3–1: ~4–6% probability

• Liquid 3–0: < 5% probability

The most statistically likely single outcome is OG 3–1, with a 3–0 sweep also common. Liquid winning the series is less likely but still a non-negligible possibility if they play above expectations or find favorable drafts.

💰 Betting Angles & Market Focus

OG Moneyline: This is the most straightforward pick. Given the implied 75–78% win chance, backing OG on the moneyline aligns with market probabilities and reduces variance.

Handicap / Map Spread: OG −1.5 maps becomes interesting if odds are around or above 1.85–1.90. Since OG are expected to comfortably take the series, they are also likely to win by more than one map if they execute as expected.

Total Maps (Over/Under): Over 3.5 maps can offer value if priced above roughly 1.75–1.80. Because the most common exact outcomes include 3–1 and 3–2, there’s a strong chance the series goes at least four games.

Exact Score: OG 3–1 is statistically the most aligned scoreline and often pays significantly better than just backing OG to win outright. 3–0 also holds value if priced attractively, but it is slightly less probable than the 3–1 outcome.

⚖️ Tactical & Variance Factors

OG’s strengths lie in drafting flexibility, mid-game control, and experienced decision-making across long series. They tend to secure objectives and snowball leads methodically, which is a key advantage in BO5 formats.

Liquid can challenge through individual execution and strong lane performances, but consistency at the highest level has been variable. If Liquid win early drafts and secure map momentum, the series can stretch deeper.

The probable map spread leans toward multiple games — favoring four or five — rather than quick sweeps, especially if one team adapts well to draft challenges.

🔮 Final Prediction

OG to win the series with an estimated probability of roughly 75–78%.

• Most statistically aligned outcome: OG 3–1
• Secondary likely outcome: OG 3–0 or OG 3–2 depending on series dynamics
