Ørjan “TheViper” Larsen won Wandering Warriors Cup at the start of February and secured his first S-Tier tournament title of the year. Although that was an AoE II tournament, TheViper had some success competing in Aoe IV events earlier this year, when he reached the semis of Winter Championship in January.
At the same tournament, Benjamin “DeMusliM” Baker could not make it further than round two, where he lost (0-2) against the eventual champion Hamzah “Hera” El-Baher. However, even though the Brit suffered an early elimination, it’s hard to criticise him for losing against Hera, who has dropped only three maps across the entire tournament.
TheViper and DeMusliM last met in a DeMusliM vs TheViper show match in January when DeMusliM won 3-0. Still, we would not put too much weight on that result, especially knowing that TheViper has since gone 18-2 and 5-2 in AoE IV. There’s a world where this match goes to map five, but at $1.72, it’s hard to pass on TheViper.

Lee “Leenock” Dong-nyoung is expected to defeat Themistoklis “TheMista” Bonidis, which is reasonable considering he has won four straight events leading into N4C, including Bring it on 2, where he defeated TheViper 3-2.
Furthermore, Leenock is on a 13-game winning streak and has lost only one match across the last 18. On the other hand, TheMista is has won seven of his last eight outings, including a narrow 4-3 victory against Pavel “Bee” Zhigarev in the second N4C qualifiers.
TheMista has looked good of late, but the recent game update which made the Chinese stronger should benefit the Korean player more, knowing that Leenock, unlike TheMista, can play the civilisation. TheMista can still decide to ban the Chinese, but that leaves Delhi and Mongols open, putting him in a rough spot.
We’re on Leenock to win with at least two maps to spare at $2.25.
Leenock -1.5 maps
