Dplus Gaming vs. Daystar Prediction on October 10, 2025

Match info

Korea’s Dplus Gaming and the USA’s Daystar will open the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals for the second stage of the Asia Pacific League 2025 - Major Qualifier, hosted by Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The event is the last regional step that sends four APAC teams to the BLAST R6 Major Munich 2025, a major eSports tournament for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, in November. In a single-map series, one slip on vetoes or a bad defensive half can swing the entire bracket path and, ultimately, a Major berth. Given the available odds of sites for esport betting, Dplus is seen as the heavy favorite.

Dplus and Daystar will face off on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 9 a.m. AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time, local time) at Fortress Melbourne, a large-scale gaming and eSports complex in Melbourne’s CBD (the Melbourne central business district).

Meeting statistics

Current form & playstyle: Dplus Gaming

Fresh off winning Asia Pacific League 2025 - APAC North - Stage 2, Dplus come in looking sharp and composed. Their September run featured multiple clean series and sturdy defensive halves, suggesting strong site setups and mid-round discipline rather than coin-flip aggression.

Their roster has been stabilized at this stage and delivered consistent 2-0 results against top regional opposition in the previously mentioned event, which typically reflects solid entry trading and well-rehearsed late rounds. In short, a formed team with structure and momentum.

Current form & playstyle: Daystar

Daystar arrive as Asia Pacific League 2025 - Asia - Stage 2 runners-up with a largely Taiwan/Hong Kong core (well-recognizable names like “Souffle” and “AZuKi”), and they’ve been trending upward through the Asia circuit Playoffs. Their recent match list shows they can punch up—mixing confident attacks (fast site collapses when space is found) with scrappy, utility-driven defenses.

They’re not as proven against the APAC North winner level, but the form line from the Asia Playoffs gives them genuine upset equity in a Bo1.

Head-to-head

There’s no recorded prior meeting between Dplus and Daystar in official play, so this is a first-time matchup. That raises the volatility of a Bo1—both in prep and in the veto.

Match analytics

Dplus have been dominant in APAC North, running through series cleanly, showing consistency and structure (stats back a strong core performance from their top players. Daystar, while dangerous in the Asia circuit, still seem the more volatile pick—capable of strong bursts but less steady in longer, methodical maps.

In a single map format, the map draw and early tempo can swing hard. If Daystar can draft or veto advantageously, they have some upset potential, especially if Dplus are caught off guard or slow to warm up.

So our baseline call is Dplus to win, probably by a solid margin (e.g., 7-3, 7-4). If the bookies offer map margin (e.g., –4 rounds or –5 rounds on Dplus) or round totals over/under, you might find better value there (e.g., Dplus −4.5 rounds). For now, that’s not the case. Only match-winner odds are released. Check the live odds closer to match time on one of those bookies, such as Bet365.
