- Futures odds for the XSE Pro League playoffs favor BetBoom (BB Team) to win it all at +275 odds.
- A favorable bracket gives 9z the second-best odds (+400), but Parivision (+425) and Faze (+500) narrowly trail those odds.
- We’ll breakdown all four quarterfinal matchups, which begin on Thursday at 3 AM EST.
GUANGZHOU, China – The playoff bracket for XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026 is set and betting odds favor BetBoom to come out on top at +275 odds.
Similarly to the IEM Cologne Major playoffs bracket, the XSE Pro League bracket is notably top heavy. Three of the four teams with the shortest odds to win the event are on the same side of the bracket.
XSE Pro League Futures Odds
- BB Team +275
- 9z +400
- PARIVISION +425
- FaZe Clan +500
- TYLOO +600
- BIG +750
- Nemesis +1200
- Alliance +1800
The bracket worked out favorably for 9z, who boast the second-shortest odds at +400. They kick off their playoff campaign against Tyloo (+600), where the winner will face either Nemesis (+1200) or Alliance (+1800) for a spot in the grand final.

Tyloo vs 9z Betting Odds
| Team | Spread | To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyloo | +1.5 (-225) | +130 | O2.5 (+100) |
| 9Z Globant | -1.5 (+170) | -170 | U2.5 (-130) |
While Esports betting odds favor 9z, the veto helps Tyloo more than they suggest. 9z got weakened with the removal of Overpass, their best map, from the map pool for Cache.
Tyloo permanently ban Dust 2 and picked Nuke in their lone best-of-three in Guangzhou, the same map pick as 9z (they also picked Dust 2 vs Alliance). In their last head-to-head, 9z crushed Tyloo 13-6 on Inferno despite this being one of Tyloo’s best maps. Expect 9z to choose Inferno or Nuke, and Tyloo to chose Mirage in a match that could go all three maps at +100 odds.
Nemesis vs Alliance Betting Odds
| Team | Spread | To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team Nemesis | -1.5 (+225) | -135 | O2.5 (-110) |
| Alliance | +1.5 (-310) | +105 | U2.5 (-120) |
Tier 1 Counter-Strike fans may be unfamiliar with these two squads, but Alliance barely missed out on the 2026 IEM Cologne Major and have good underdog value in this one at +105 odds.
The veto works in favor of Alliance, as the Swedish side permaban Mirage, the second-best map for Nemesis (82%-win rate). On the other hand, Nemesis permaban Anubis, allowing Alliance to choose their best map in Inferno (92%-win rate).
Nemesis will likely choose Nuke or Ancient, two maps that Alliance are fine with playing. Alliance is a solid bet on Counter-Strike with their moneyline odds, but this match should go over 2.5 maps at -110 odds.
Parivision Vs BIG, Faze Vs BetBoom Round Out QF Matchups
The revamped Parivision roster expects to start the XSE Pro League playoffs with a win against BIG Clan, where they have -155 moneyline odds. The value in this match is on the -105 legal sports betting odds for over 2.5 maps.
Parivision vs BIG Betting Odds
| Team | Spread | To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parivision | -1.5 (+185) | -155 | O2.5 (-105) |
| BIG | +1.5 (-250) | +120 | U2.5 (-125) |
BIG lost their map pick when Overpass got replaced by Cache, but they’re dangerous because they can play every map. Nuke is their first ban, but that happens to be Parivision’s permaban, allowing BIG to remove a map they’ve struggled on like Mirage.
Three of Parivision’s last four best-of-threes went over 2.5 maps, losing their opponent’s map pick in three of those four matches. Meanwhile, BIG have won on their opponent’s map pick in three-straight matches, making them an intriguing underdog at +120 odds.
Faze vs BetBoom Betting Odds
| Team | Spread | To Win | Total Maps |
|---|---|---|---|
| FaZe Clan | +1.5 (-210) | +145 | O2.5 (+100) |
| BB Team | -1.5 (+160) | -190 | U2.5 (-130) |
The tournament favorites in BetBoom have -190 odds to defeat Faze Clan in their opening match of the XSE Pro League playoffs. BetBoom cruised into the playoffs 3-0, while Faze Clan rattled off three-straight best-of-three series victories after starting 0-2 to clinch their spot.
Both teams permaban Inferno, while Faze’s first pick is Ancient and BetBoom’s first pick is Nuke. However, with Faze’s respectable 60%-win rate on Nuke and just 33% on Dust 2, it wouldn’t be surprising to see BetBoom pick Dust 2 (73%-win rate).
With the way BetBoom has played and Faze still working through a new roster, it’s hard to see BetBoom not cashing their -190 moneyline odds in a best-of-three. BetBoom has a better or comparable win percentage than Faze on every map except Mirage (86% vs 38%), a spot that Faze must capitalize on to have a chance in the series.
