*Best esports predictions, odds, and parlays for the 16th of March 2025, as collected by the Strafe Esports Content Team.
First Stand 2025 Grand Finals: Karmine Corp vs Hanwha Life Esports
Match Winner - Hanwha Life Esports @ 1.06
Hanwha Life Esports are the overwhelming favorites to win the series. Their superior roster depth and international experience make them a near lock to take home the first international trophy of the year.
Though there is faith in Karmine Corp, 54% of the Strafe fan votes still picked Hanwha Life Esports to win the bout.
Correct Score - Hanwha Life Esports 3:1 @ 2.93
Though Hanwha Life Esports have been dominant all throughout the tournament, Karmine Corp were able to take a game off the LCK Champions when the two teams met during the Group Stage just days ago. If you believe Karmine Corp are capable of doing so again in the Finals, then this bet offers great odds.
Total Maps - Over 3.5 @ 1.81
Karmine Corp will not want to go down without a fight in these Finals, meaning that this should be an enticing bet for anyone who thinks the series will not end in a clean sweep for either team.
ESL Pro League Season 21 Grand Finals: Team Vitality vs MOUZ
Match Winner - Team Vitality @ 1.31
Team Vitality have been the hottest team in Counter-Strike to start the year, and will not let MOUZ get in the way of lifting yet another trophy. Though the growth of this MOUZ squad has been impressive to behold, the team still has a ways to go before they can compete with the likes of Vitality.
Our readers agree with the pick, with an overwhelming 85% of the Strafe fan votes choosing Team Vitality to win the match.
Correct Score - Team Vitality 3:1 @ 3.61
Team Vitality are favored to win the matchup, but that does not mean MOUZ will just roll over without a fight. After beating one of the best squads in the game in Team Spirit in the Semifinals, MOUZ look strong enough to take a map off of Team Vitality this time around.
Map 1 Player Kills - ropz Over 16.5 @ 2.23
This is a slightly riskier bet, but let's take a look at the fact. Ropz has averaged 16.6 kills at the ESL Pro League Season 21 so far, and has been lights out for Team Vitality ever since he joined the squad at the start of the year. If you believe the Estonian sharpshooter will deliver the goods again in the Grand Finals, then this bet offers fantastic odds.
