PARIVISION leads trader consensus for the BLAST SLAM VIII title at 38.5% implied probability due to their stable roster and strong post-TI form, including a recent grand final appearance, but the market remains tightly contested among several contenders. Team Yandex sits at 24.5% on the back of recent momentum and prior SLAM success, while Team Liquid at 11.5% benefits from veteran experience in Bo3 group play. Roster shifts, such as Team Spirit’s lineup adjustments after their TI win, and the expanded 16-team field with GSL groups feeding into LAN double-elimination playoffs in Malta introduce significant variance. Competitive depth across invites and qualifiers keeps implied probabilities clustered, reflecting uncertainty in early online matches and potential upsets.
