BUNNY vs BYUN SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

SCII Betting Odds:<\/td>\nBunny +193 at BetOnline<\/a> | ByuN -277.78 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\u2028Byun “ByuN” Hyun-woo and Lee \u201cBunny\u201d Jae-seon will clash on Thursday for the first time since ByuN swept his compatriot 3-0 in January. It marked his seventh head-to-head victory and his second consecutive win over Bunny.<\/p>\n

ByuN enters this match in excellent form, having won all but one of his last six fixtures. That includes 2-0 sweeps of Joo “Zest” Sung-wook and Jun “TY” Tae Yang on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Bunny has been far less convincing with his recent showings, as he enters this fixture on a three-game losing streak. ByuN is clearly in better shape, and even though we were hoping for slightly better odds, the odds are good enough for us to back the favourite to get the job done with at least two maps to spare.<\/p>\n

TRAP vs CURE SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

SCII Betting Odds:<\/td>\nTrap -156.25 at BetOnline<\/a> | Cure +114 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nMay 20, 2021 at 18:15 KST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nAfreecaTV (http:\/\/play.afreecatv.com\/gslenglish)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2028The latest StarCraft II betting odds imply Cho “Trap” Sung Ho has a 61% chance of beating Kim “Cure” Doh Wook, which is way too high. Although Trap should have an edge, having him priced lower than -125 makes no sense.<\/p>\n

Cure has had a few iffy showings of late, but he has had to face much more formidable opponents than Trap. Cure is also 3-2 up in the head-to-head stakes in 2021, with a streak of three consecutive wins in April, and usually does well against Protoss (62.33% win rate). <\/p>\n

There is reason to doubt Cure, especially at the outsider odds.<\/p>\n

DREAM vs ARMAI SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

SCII Betting Odds:<\/td>\nDream -370.37 at BetOnline<\/a> | Armani +247 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nMay 20, 2021 at 19:30 KST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nAfreecaTV (http:\/\/play.afreecatv.com\/gslenglish)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2028There is no denying that Cho “Dream” Joong Hyuk is the most likely victor, but once again, we are chasing value, and there’s plenty to be found with the SCII betting odds offered on Park “Armani” Jin Hyuk.<\/p>\n

Armani is priced as high as +247 with esports bookmakers<\/a>, suggesting he has only a 28.8% chance of winning. That’s a bit disrespectful for someone who swept Dream 3-0 just under three weeks back.<\/p>\n

Dream has been playing much better since that loss, but it still doesn’t make much sense to have him priced as low as he is. At these betting odds, we have to side with Armani. <\/p>\n

RAGNAROK vs MARU SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

SCII Betting Odds:<\/td>\nRagnaroK +417 at BetOnline<\/a> | Maru -769.23 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nMay 20, 2021 at 20:45 KST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nAfreecaTV (http:\/\/play.afreecatv.com\/gslenglish)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u2028Shin “RagnaroK” Hee Bum and Cho “Maru” Seong Ju last met way back in September 2020, when Maru won 2-0. It marked his 11th head-to-head victory since these two first clashed in 2014.<\/p>\n

RagnaroK has yet to defeat the current no.2 in the ESL Pro Tour Korean standings. He has come close to it only three times across 11 meetings, stealing a map off Maru in some best-of-three (Bo3) bouts.<\/p>\n

We rarely recommend betting on a clean sweep in an SCII match, since those are pretty rare, but there is nothing that would make us trust RagnaroK. He is 4-3 in his last seven but hasn’t beaten any top-tier players, while Maru is 9-1 in his previous 10 with his only loss in that stretch coming against the undisputed best Korean SCII player of the 2021\/22 season, Lee “Rogue” Byeong Yeol.<\/p>\n
