BLAST Slam VIII Matches on October 3

13:00 UTC

• LGD Gaming vs GamerLegion
• PARIVISION vs Aurora

16:00 UTC

• 1W vs OG
• Team Spirit vs Team Yandex

LGD Gaming vs GamerLegion

LGD Gaming reached the Last Chance Stage after defeating Xtreme Gaming 2:1. GamerLegion recovered from their opening loss against Aurora with two clean victories over Yakult’s Brothers and Team Liquid.

The winner advances to the playoffs, while the losing team leaves BLAST Slam VIII. Recent form makes GamerLegion dangerous, but the prediction should also account for LGD’s experience in close three-map series.

PARIVISION vs Aurora

PARIVISION have not dropped a map at the tournament, beating Level UP and LGD Gaming 2:0. Aurora also won Group D after victories over GamerLegion and Team Liquid.

Both teams have already qualified for the playoffs. The winner of this match receives a direct place in the upper-bracket semifinals, while the loser starts from the quarterfinals. The current Winio prediction gives PARIVISION a 66% probability of victory.

1W vs OG

1W secured their Last Chance spot with a 2:0 victory over Team Nemesis. OG followed a longer route, eliminating MOUZ before taking revenge on BetBoom Team in a 2:1 series.

OG enter the match with two consecutive wins, but 1W have enough individual strength to change the prediction with one successful draft. Only the winner will continue in the playoffs.

Team Spirit vs Team Yandex

Team Spirit defeated Team Nemesis and 1W to win Group B. Team Yandex looked even more convincing in Group C, closing both MOUZ and BetBoom Team without dropping a map.

Team Yandex won four of the five recent meetings between the teams, but Team Spirit took the latest series at The International 2026. The prediction winner receives a direct place in the upper-bracket semifinals.
