?Byun “ByuN” Hyun-woo last met with Kim “Classic” Doh-woo on Monday, when he claimed his sixth victory (2-0) of the year and his second consecutive against the Protoss player. Due to his strong head-to-head record against Classic, ByuN enters this bout as a -243.9 favourite, which sounds right.

Even though you should never count out Classic, he usually struggles against Terran. His career win rate against the race is only 56.67%, while his recent record shows a slightly lower 51.14%. Meanwhile, ByuN has a solid 66.75% career win rate into Protoss and has kept the win% stable over the year (66.84%).

Classic won against ByuN at the end of March (3-1) and at the start of April (2-0), but he has struggled in the last two outings. So, we could see a three-map series, but we’re leaning towards ByuN to get it done in two.

?As the latest StarCraft II betting odds suggest, Lee “Rogue” Byeong-yeol should have a reasonably easy time defeating Max “Astrea” Angel. But even though Rogue is the better player, he seems a bit overrated at the offered price.

Rogue and Astrea last met in December 2021, when Astrea won 2-1 and claimed his first head-to-head victory (1-4) against the Korean StarCraft II pro. Since then, a lot of time has passed, but that doesn’t mean that Astrea doesn’t stand a chance to emulate that success.

Astrea has been improving rapidly over the last year and holds a solid 58.86% career win rate against Zerg. Moreover, his PvZ win percentage in 2022 has risen to 82.61%. That translates to a 19-4 record, including two wins against the current sixth-highest rater Korean SCII player Park “DRG” Soo-ho.

Rogue is a more established player, and he is likely going to win, but the value is with Astrea. Alternatively, Astrea with a +1.5 map handicap is a solid option but at a much lower payout.

?The current no.2 on the ESL Pro Tour 2021/22 Korea, Lee “Rogue” Byeong-yeol will look to justify his tag as a heavy favourite by beating Koh “GuMiho” Byung-jae in the opening match of Group A. It will mark their first meeting since GSL Season 1 qualifiers on March 10, when Rogue won 2-1.

Rogue clashed with GuMiho 37 times throughout his career and won 23 series with a 63-47 game record, so it’s hard to argue with the offered StarCraft betting odds. Moreover, Rogue has an excellent record against Terran (71.43% win rate) and has recently claimed a bronze medal from IEM Katowice 2022.

GuMiho took a game away from Rogue last week, so it would be fair to believe he can do some damage on Wednesday. But GuMiho is known for struggling against top-tier players, and we would argue his minor success against Rogue last time out was a fluke more than anything else. Trust Rogue to get it done in two games.

?HerO last met with Dream last week, when he won 3-1, so it’s fair to expect him to be as dominant on Wednesday. However, we would take herO’s commanding win with a grain of salt.

HerO was the better player on the day and is 3-1 up in the head-to-head across his last four meetings with Dream. However, Dream has achieved far more this season and holds a respectable win percentage against Protoss (59.8%). It’s also worth noting that herO’s win rate against Terran has dropped to 52.24% from his career average of 62.15%, so he might not be best suited to clash with one of the best Korean Terran players.

Given his past record against Dream, herO should have a slight advantage for this match, but not large enough to justify betting on him at -185.19. At the offered SCII betting odds, the value is with Dream.
