The Huns Esports hold a clear edge in this IEM Beijing 2026 Asian Qualifier upper-bracket BO3 matchup against DEPO, driven by superior regional form and head-to-head history. The Mongolian side recently advanced from the open qualifier with a 2-0 win over NAS and maintains a stronger core featuring IGL controlez, nin9, Bart4k, and ANNIHILATION, who have posted consistent results across Asian events. DEPO, featuring buster as IGL alongside wetfy, shoxs, and sh1seido, enters with mixed recent form including losses to Omega and a prior 0-3 defeat to The Huns in the April 2026 PGL Astana qualifier. Roster stability, map pool execution on favorites like Mirage and Inferno, and the single-elimination stakes for closed-qualifier progression shape trader consensus around the series outcome.
