All teams start in a Knockout Stage, two groups of 8 fighting through a double-elimination bracket. Only the top 2 from each group advance to the Final Stage, with BO5 matches. Here are the Groups:
- Group A – Wolves Esports, The Four Musketeers, YBMG, SOLO, Advice ESPORTS, GaoTie Gaming, Royal Flush, Freecs
- Group B – GRATZ, Gen.G Esports, WHGaming, Beijing BTW, KT Rolster, Hydra Esports, XMEN, Chonburi FC
Once in the Final Stage, a single elimination with BO5 matches determines the overall winner. It’s at this stage that matches are most exciting and offer the best esports odds for your EA SPORTS FC betting.
Let’s take a closer look at the Group Stage and discuss which teams will make it based on previous tournaments to help with your FC Pro Champions Cup betting.
Wolves come in hungry in Group A
As the number one team according to the international ranking, Wolves Esports are favourites in Group A and also tournament favourites. Historically one of the best teams in Asia, Wolves has always been a competitor on the international stage.
Beyond winning the last continental tournament for this esports game, the FC Pro Masters 2024, they’ve also defended their foothold over the Chinese region at the FC Online China Pro League 2024 Season 2 in July. For these reasons, Wolves is likely to make it to the Final Stage.
Another team to look out for is Advice ESPORTS. Although not much is known about this Thai team, they are the defending champions for their region after coming out of nowhere in League Season 2. Due to a lack of information, maybe they’re more of an underdog than a favourite.
Other teams to look out for include Royal Flush and YanBian Magical Gaming – consistent teams who have performed all season long towards the top of their respective regions.
KT Rolster take on GRATZ in Group B
Assembling their roster last year, KT Rolster has maintained a dominant presence in the Korean scene. Winning every regional league since last November, they also placed third at the FC Pro Champions Cup.
This level of consistency makes them clear favourites for Group B, but it’s not as clear as Group A.
Specifically, GRATZ is in the group as a brilliant Thai team that finished 2nd in the recent FC Pro Masters tournament only losing to Wolves in a close 3-2 Grand Final. If KT Rolster wants to keep rolling, they’ll need to take down the other favourites from Thai.
While these top dogs go at it, perhaps XMEN, the Vietnamese champion, could slip in and steal one of the two spots for the Final Stage.
FC Pro Masters Mobile Betting – Fewer Stakes
For anyone interested, the mobile counterpart at the tournament, FC Pro Masters Mobile, features 6 players and a $60,000 prize.
Offering less odds than the main tournament, the favourites from the 6 include the likes of SODA and Weapon, but the placements are heavily influenced by individual match-ups.
