Xtreme Gaming vs Aurora - DreamLeague Season28 Group Stage2

Aurora enter this Bo3 on the back of a genuinely impressive month, posting a 91% winrate and backing it up with clean 2-0 victories over Team Liquid and OG on this very stage. Yes, they dropped their last two maps, but those losses came against MOUZ and Team Liquid, two of the sharpest rosters in the tournament. There is no shame in that, and the underlying quality has not disappeared.

Xtreme Gaming, by contrast, look like a team running on fumes. A 52% winrate last month, three 1-1 draws in the group stage, and a shock 0-2 defeat to Tundra Esports paint the picture of a side that cannot close out series when it matters. Their head-to-head record against Aurora is strong on paper, but that version of Xtreme looks very different to what we are seeing right now.

The historical head-to-head numbers will make bettors nervous, but form is form. Aurora are sharper, hungrier, and playing with greater decisiveness in a map format that punishes passive teams. Xtreme's draw pattern suggests they struggle to impose their will across a full Bo3, and Aurora have the momentum and the firepower to exploit exactly that weakness.

Prediction: Aurora Gaming 2-1 Xtreme Gaming

Odds:

Aurora Gaming 1.29

Xtreme Gaming 3.46
