On July 23, we will witness the return of the legendary Tier 1 tournament – IEM Cologne 2025. The best teams have started to return to the game, and this tournament will be something special and will continue to surprise us. We analyzed the form of the participants, the pool of maps and the percentage of victories to highlight the 5 best bets on these matches.
Complexity vs GamerLegion (2.15)
Complexity are in good shape, especially after the recent roster changes that have allowed them to find new synergies. The team plays consistently, using their tactics in key moments. GamerLegion, on the other hand, is experiencing a downturn, which is reflected in their latest results. Complexity is expected to take advantage of GamerLegion’s weaknesses and win this match with confidence. A bet on Complexity to win with odds of 2.15 looks attractive.
TYLOO vs Virtus.pro (1.78)
TYLOO continue to impress with their form after winning FISSURE Playground 1, where they showed their dominance. Their victory over Virtus.pro a few days ago only confirms their readiness for high-level competitions. Virtus.pro, on the contrary, play terribly, losing key rounds due to errors in communication and tactics. It is expected that TYLOO will confirm their superiority. A bet on TYLOO to win with odds of 1.78 is reasonable.
Astralis vs. B8: Total maps over 2.5 (1.88)
Astralis, after the arrival of HooXi, found a second wind, demonstrating stability. The team shows improvements in the attacking rounds, making them favourites. However, the B8 has also proven its worth, which promises a tight fight. It is expected that the match will last at least three maps, so a bet on the total number of more than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.88 looks promising.
FaZe vs BIG: FaZe will win 2-0 (1.95)
FaZe, with renewed vigor and the return of broky, show dominance. BIG, on the other hand, play terribly, losing key rounds. FaZe has more experience, which makes them favorites. They are expected to close the match in two maps. A bet on FaZe to win 2-0 with odds of 1.95 seems logical.
NiP vs Heroic: Total Cards Over 2.5 (1.85)
The match between NiP and Heroic promises to be a fierce battle. Both teams perform at a high level, which can lead to a long fight. The match is expected to last at least three maps, so betting on the total over 2.5 at odds of 1.85 is a good bet.
