BLAST Slam 3 Betting Predictions
Now, how can we take advantage of the betting markets? Here are some key takeaways for Dota 2 betting at BLAST Slam 3.
The Favorites
The best team coming into the event is PARIVISION. Despite losing the Grand Final of the recent PGL Wallachia Season 4, the Eastern European squad is still the strongest team in the world. Accordingly, the Dota 2 odds are leaning in their favor, though their outright odds are still looking juicy.
Team Liquid, Team Spirit, and Tundra Esports are PARIVISION’s main contenders. These three names are capable of winning any event when they’re having a good week, but the King of the Hill format could favor momentum-based teams like Team Liquid and Team Spirit.
Teams To Look Out For
Beyond the four favorites, Team Falcons, BetBoom Team, and Gaimin Gladiators are also capable of making deep runs. These Dota 2 teams haven’t been in the best shape lately, but they’ve had a few weeks to prepare for this event. It wouldn’t be too surprising if any of these three could take down the favorites, especially in this single-elimination bracket.
My Outright Pick
Looking at the outright BLAST Slam 3 markets, I find the most value in PARIVISION to reach the final, sitting at 2.20 odds.
Since Satanic has gotten comfortable with the team, PARIVISION won ESL One Raleigh 2025 and placed second at PGL Wallachia Season 4. I have high confidence they’ll at least make the Grand Final.
