BLAST.TV Paris Major RMR Odds and Predictions
Considering that not every team will qualify to the Paris Major, as described below, outright betting odds focus on determining how likely a team is to claim one of the coveted seeds.
Bearing this in mind, GG.Bet is offering outright betting odds for both EU RMR A and EU RMR B events. Let’s take a look at both tournaments separately.
EU RMR A Outright Odds – FaZe or NaVi?
Kicking things off, we have the outright CSGO odds for the EU RMR A event below:
- FaZe Clan – 1.1
- Natus Vincere – 1.1
- Virtus.pro – 1.13
- MOUZ – 1.25
- Fnatic – 1.3
- Bad News Eagles – 1.5
- OG – 1.5
- 1WIN – 1.6
- Apeks – 1.87
- Sprout – 2.0
While this tournament may be top-heavy, the community is being treated to the likes of FaZe Clan and Natus Vincere competing against one another. Beyond being favourites for this particular tournament, these two teams are looking to set themselves up to win the BLAST.tv Paris Major.
EU RMR B Outright Odds – Tight at the Top
Secondly, here’s a look at the teams most likely to qualify from the EU RMR B event:
- G2 Esports – 1.08
- Cloud9 – 1.1
- Heroic – 1.22
- Team Vitality – 1.28
- ENCE eSports – 1.45
- Team Spirit – 1.5
- Ninjas in Pyjamas – 1.52
- Astralis – 1.58
- forZe – 1.8
- BIG – 2.0
The discussion around this RMR is how exactly the top 4 teams, who’ll earn Legend Status, will stack up.
While G2, Cloud9, Heroic and Team Vitality are hugely respectable teams, ENCE’s recent 3-4th finish at ESL Pro League Season 17 could certainly shake things up.
American and APAC RMR – Our Predictions
Although we may not have outright odds for the American and APAC RMR events, our Counter-Strike predictions should suffice, based on performances at the recent ESL Pro League S17 event.
Top 3 American RMR teams:
- FURIA Esports
- paiN Gaming
- Team Liquid
Top 2 APAC RMR teams:
- TYLOO
- Rare Atom
BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR – How Does it Work?
Accordingly, only the top 24 teams in the world will have the chance to compete at the BLAST.tv Paris Major, competing for $1,250,000 of prize and seeds to CSGO tournaments.
Indeed, Regional Major Rankings (RMR) are now the standard for qualification for the top CSGO tournaments.
Ever since 2020, Valve devised RMR as a standardized means to determine how teams seed for CSGO Major for each region are calculated. Teams are then seeded into the Major in two tiers: Challengers, Legends and Contenders.
The following are the dates for the upcoming RMR events:
- European RMR A – 16 teams – 6-9th April
- European RMR B – 16 teams – 11-15th April
- American RMR – 16 teams – 6-9th April
- Asia-Pacific RMR – 8 teams – 6-9th April
Here are how seeds will be working for BLAST.tv Paris Major:
- European RMR A – Legends (x4), Challengers (x3), Contenders (x1)
- European RMR B – Legends (x3), Challengers (x4), Contenders (x1)
- American RMR – Legends (x1), Challengers (x1), Contenders (x1)
- Asia-Pacific RMR – Contenders (x2)
- European RMR Decider – Contenders (x1)
Within each RMR, a 16-team Swiss System Format will determine how teams stack up, with opening BO1 matches followed by BO3 matches.
Apart from teams seeding as listed, in EU, the 9-11th from each RMR will fight through an EU Decider Bracket.
If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to bet on CSGO – this is it!
