XDM vs The Huns: Huns favored at 62% for BO3 rematch
The Huns carry a 62% series probability and a 2-0 head-to-head record into the ESL Challenger League Asia Cup 3 best-of-three against XDM.
XDM and The Huns meet in ESL Challenger League Season 52: Asia Cup 3 on 8 October, with the best-of-three scheduled to start at 13:00 UTC. It is the third recorded meeting between the two sides and the second inside this league's cup cycle. The forecast referenced here is published as of 07:00 UTC on match day.
XDM vs The Huns Model Forecast
Our model makes The Huns a 62% favourite to take the series, leaving XDM at 38% — the widest split in the supplied forecast. The map-level phase markets are considerably closer: across all seven listed maps, first_to_3 and first_to_6 both sit at XDM 45% / The Huns 55%, while first_to_9 moves to XDM 43% / The Huns 57%. The map_winner projections are flagged as conditional and unresolved, so they are scenario projections rather than confirmed map selections; each reads XDM 51% / The Huns 49%. Pistol rounds show the same narrow shape, with both pistol targets at XDM 51% / The Huns 49% on every map listed.
The regression outputs align with the series line rather than the tighter map markets: a projected series margin of 0.3 favouring The Huns, a predicted round margin of -0.7 on each map, and a projected 20.9 total rounds per map. The series target and the per-map targets therefore tell noticeably different stories in this matchup, and the phase and pistol markets sit much nearer to even than the 62/38 series figure.
Recent Results & Head-to-Head
XDM's last five are logged as one win and four losses, most recently a 1-1 result against THE UNIT on 7 October recorded as a loss, following a 0-2 defeat to Rare Atom, a 1-2 loss to The Huns, a 2-0 win over THE UNIT on 22 September and a 1-2 loss to Nas on 27 August. The Huns are 3-2 across their last five, with wins over Space (2-0), NEXVOID (2-1) and 5star (2-1) before 0-2 losses to Chinggis Warriors and The KnockoutX on 4 and 7 October. Head-to-head, The Huns have won both recorded meetings, each by a 1-2 scoreline: the ESL Challenger League Season 52: Asia Cup #2 fixture on 23 September 2026 and the Zhi-Tech Elite Masters 2026 closed qualifier on 17 January 2026. Two meetings and five-match form windows are small samples, and neither recent results nor the prior head-to-head record establishes momentum or a reliable repeat of those outcomes.
