Maru Tops Odds to Win Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup

The Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup will be taking place November 3-6 with 16 players hoping to come out on top. Six players seem to have an edge over the rest in the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup title odds.

Maru (+260), Serral (+400), herO (+550), Reynor (+600), Dark (+600) and Clem (+600) look most likely to lift the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup, but picking one from this solid group is no easy task.

Players will have to go through a group stage, single-elimination playoffs, including best-of-five quarterfinals and semifinals, before contesting in a best-of-seven final – making sure that the path is long enough so that only the very best player wins top honors from a prize pool of $15,000.

Before we dive in, be sure to refresh yourself on how to bet on Starcraft 2.

Favorites To Win In The Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup Title Odds

Maru (+260)

Maru is a five-time GSL champion and it’s no surprise that he is leading the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup title odds table. No other player has been this successful in Starcraft 2 esports and that explains why he’s widely considered the greatest ever in this scene.

He’s also a bit of a veteran here, and it’s hard to see someone capable of matching him when he’s at his best. He has lost just once in his last 15 competitive Starcraft 2 matches. He’ll almost certainly make it to the latter stages; the question is if there’s anyone who can stop him from going all the way.

Serral (+400)

Serral has been having a great year. He’s got the momentum, and like Maru, he has got the experience at the highest level, which is why he’s got Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup title odds of +400.

He had a few hiccups in the DH SC2 Masters 2022 Atlanta: Europe in what was otherwise a near flawless run of form in the last two to three months.

Value Picks To Win In The Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup Outright Odds

herO (+550)

herO has been untouchable in recent weeks, which is why he’s so high up the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup title odds table. ByuN has given him a few problems in recent months, and if he’s to face him, there might be a few complications, but his record against most of the other competitors has been perfect. How he does will depend heavily on the sort of matchups he has, which makes him a bit unpredictable. No one will like facing him, that’s for sure.

Reynor (+600)

Some might think that the Italian should be higher up the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup title odds, but this can only be a good thing for bettors. Reynor offers excellent value heading into the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup.

He finished 5th-8th at the 2021 Masters Last Chance 2022, and his stock has gone down since. However, make no mistake, when he’s in top form, there aren’t many better. He’s been competing since 2013 and has seen it all.

Dark (+600)

Dark has been a bit up and down in recent weeks, which is why we’d advise you to not really look at him as a serious contender despite having excellent value in the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup title odds.

Only three years back, it looked like he was going to be dominating the esport, but there’s a lot of competition here, and while he’s certainly going to be one of the top players in the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup, it’s hard to see him making it all the way.

Betting Strategy for Winners of the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup

When the likes of Solar (+3500) and Cure (+1800) don’t have a section dedicated to them, it just goes to show how much has changed in competitive Starcraft 2 over the years. They’re up there with Maru as some of the best players to have taken part in this esport, but their best days are now behind them.

Maru will certainly go into this as the favorite, and it’s hard to make a strong claim for anyone else when he’s around. herO is an interesting pick because he certainly has the form heading into this tournament and the value is tempting as well.

But when the sport is so competitive, there’s never any real favorite. Maru still provides great odds, and unless something extraordinary happens, he should come out on top in the Starcraft 2 ATV Champions Cup.
