It’s no surprise that Team Vitality and Team BDS are sitting top of the betting odds at bookmaker William Hill. With payouts of 4.50 and 5.50 respectively, these two hold a slight lead over third favourites to win the tournament, Karmine Corp, who pays 6.00. Behind these three, Gen.G and FaZe Clan are the remaining favourites at William Hill, returning 7.00 and 8.00 for an outright victory.
When it comes to betting on the RCLS 2022-23 World Championship, it’s hard to see a world where one of the two betting favourites don’t win. The last S-Tier tournament in Rocket League saw Team Vitality and Team BDS compete in the final, with Vitality coming out victorious 4-1. Chances are we’re going to see a repeat over the coming days in Dusseldorf.
Team Vitality has been on an absolute tear, winning every competitive event they’ve played since early April. Admittedly, prior to that they were underwhelming, failing to progress beyond the quarters in the first four months of the year. However, Team Vitality has well and truly turned over a new leaf and look virtually unstoppable now this season.
For Team BDS, they’ve been the next best thing in Rocket League, consistently finishing in the top three of tournaments over recent months. Trouble is the past two finals they’ve made, it’s been a 4-1 loss to Team Vitality. If odds become available for making the final, Team BDS is certainly one to back, but otherwise, your money is best put behind Team Vitality, who are looking like an excellent wager to walk away champions in Germany.
