SourceEstral’s lineup packed with recognizable talent

SourceEi Nerd’s current starting five looking to prove ceiling

SourcePick Ideas
Estral -1.5 maps in best-of-three series
In a best-of-three playoff series rather than a single game, Estral’s deeper playbook and experienced lineup make the Estral -1.5 maps handicap an attractive angle if you expect them to assert control across multiple drafts.
Ei Nerd +1.5 maps based on mid-season roster consolidation
Since early 2026 Ei Nerd has steadily consolidated around core pieces like Makes, Drakehero, Pilot, Kog and Elkinho after several departures, so backing Ei Nerd +1.5 maps can be a way to capture their growing resilience without needing a full upset.
Player props focusing on Kog’s carry output
Markets involving Kog’s kills or damage may offer value, as he is highlighted as a key bot-lane carry for Ei Nerd and one of the younger mechanically focused players on the roster.
