Azure Ray's victory in the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 finals "upset" the bookmakers

A bet on Azure Ray's victory in the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 finals brought fans a win with a phenomenal x14 coefficient. This situation arose because the majority of predictions favored Gaimin Gladiators. Viewers and analysts gave the Chinese team little chance of winning.

Renowned esports player and analyst Vladimir Maelstorm Kuzminov shared a screenshot of his winnings on his Telegram channel. The bet was made as a joke, and Maelstorm himself did not believe in Azure Ray's victory.

Just a reminder, on December 17, the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 finals took place. Gaimin Gladiators claimed the first two maps in the final match, but Azure Ray shocked the audience by winning the following three maps in a row.
