The second stage of DreamLeague Season 26 kicks off on May 23, with the top eight teams starting their battle for a spot in the playoffs. On the first day, we have four Bo3 format matches, where the favorites will try to assert their leadership right from the start. We've picked bets for each match based on team form, draft confidence, and the strength of their opponents.

Aurora Gaming will defeat BetBoom Team (odds 1.65)
The opening match of the second stage begins at 12:30 CET. Aurora finished the first stage without a single loss, showing stable play and confidence in the late stages of matches. Meanwhile, BetBoom made mistakes at crucial moments despite fighting hard for the top 4. A win by Aurora (1.65) is a bet on organization and control.

Team Liquid will defeat Yakult’s Brothers (odds 1.48)
At 15:30 CET, Liquid will face Yakult. Despite Yakult’s good stats in Group B, the strength of their opponents was lower than that of Liquid. The European team confidently handled the favorites and adapted well throughout the series. A win by Liquid (1.48) is a bet on class and experience.

Gaimin Gladiators will defeat Nigma Galaxy (odds 1.45)
The third game of the day starts at 18:30 CET. Gaimin Gladiators are entering with a proven lineup and solid coordination, while Nigma Galaxy often struggles with macro play and drafting pace. A win by Gaimin (1.45) is a bet on teamwork and a strong late game.

PARIVISION will defeat Talon Esports (odds 1.13)
The day concludes with a match at 21:30 CET between PARIVISION and Talon. PARIVISION went through the first group undefeated, outplaying favorites and dominating in team fights. Talon showed inconsistent performance and often faltered under pressure. A win by PARIVISION (1.13) is a bet on discipline and tempo advantage.

As we move into the second stage of DreamLeague, the bets become less obvious, but the current form of the teams allows for confident choices with reasonable odds.
