BLAST Slam Betting Predictions

Ahead of BLAST Slam II, we identified the likes of Falcons, BetBoom, Liquid, PARIVISION and Tundra tobe favoured at this tournament – with Falcons at the top of the pile.
Following the Group Stage, Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators came out on top of Groups A and B respectively, with Falcons suffering two surprising losses in the Group. Moreover, Nigma Galaxy and Yakult Brothers surprised the competition with second placings.
As it stands, BLAST Slam II has already featured a tonne of surprises and will likely feature the return of Tundra or Gaimin Gladiators to the top. While historically these teams have an equal head-to-head record, Tundra has won the past five encounters including at the recent FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025 tournament.
But then again, PARIVISION and Falcons can easily bounce back and back a deep run.

- #1 – BetBoom Team
- #2 – Tundra Esports
- #3-4 – PARIVISION, Xtreme Gaming
