5star and Kaleido meet in the IEM Beijing 2026 Asia Open Qualifier on August 24, 2026, at 10:00 UTC. This best-of-3 series carries significant stakes as both teams look to advance through the Asian qualifier. They have already faced each other once recently, with 5star taking that meeting 2-1.
What the model sees
Our model sees Kaleido as a slight favorite despite 5star's head-to-head win. For the series winner, the model gives Kaleido a 57% probability and 5star 43%. Across all seven maps in the pool, Kaleido holds a consistent edge in every map winner projection, generally 57% to 43%, though the opening map-round targets are tighter, with Kaleido around 52-53% and 5star 47-48%. The model also projects a narrow Kaleido series margin of 0.2 rounds, and each map's total rounds at 21.7, suggesting close but controlled play. Recent form is evenly balanced at 2 wins and 3 losses for each team, but Kaleido's wins came against stronger opposition, while 5star's head-to-head win adds a layer of uncertainty that keeps the series competitive.
