HEROIC enters this Esports World Cup 2026 Open Qualifier Play-Ins BO3 against ASTRAL as the clear favorite, reflecting the Norwegian organization's stronger HLTV ranking near the top 30 and recent competitive exposure in events like PGL Astana and Stake Ranked. ASTRAL, a developing roster with players including gxx- and swiz, competes primarily in regional circuits and shows modest win rates around 53% over recent months, including losses in smaller opens. HEROIC's lineup stability after 2025-2026 adjustments and experience in best-of-three series provide an edge in map control and execution. Roster health, recent map pool performance on Ancient and Mirage, and adaptation to qualifier pressure remain central variables, with any underperformance by HEROIC's star players potentially extending the series.

Map 2
This market refers to the Counter-Strike match between Heroic and ASTRAL in the Esports World Cup Open Qualifier Play-Ins, initially scheduled for August 9 at 5:00AM ET. This market is decided solely by the round score of Map 2 of this match, and is independent of which team wins Map 2 or the overall match.
This market will resolve to "Heroic" if Heroic wins Map 2 by 7 or more rounds, including any overtime (i.e. Heroic's round total on Map 2 exceeds ASTRAL's by 7 or more). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "ASTRAL".

If Map 2 is completed in this way, the market resolves on that round score regardless of how the remainder of the match concludes (including any later forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default). If Map 2 is not played at all, is not played to completion, or is decided by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default rather than by rounds played to a conclusion, this market will resolve 50-50.
