Yakult Brothers enter this BLAST Slam China Closed Qualifier quarterfinal Bo3 as the clear favorites, backed by a deeper roster featuring experienced players like lou, Emo, Beyond, kaka, and Tianming. The team has shown stronger recent form in Chinese regional events, including a 2-0 sweep of Zenith on October 15 and prior qualifier advancements, reflecting consistent draft flexibility and execution. Novus Gaming, by contrast, carries limited 2026 success, with an early exit in the August edition of the same qualifier and lower power ratings that highlight gaps in head-to-head caliber and sustained momentum. Trader consensus positions Yakult to advance, though the best-of-three format leaves room for Novus to capitalize on any early-map adjustments or unexpected hero pool strengths.
