The match between Keyd Stars and Pain Gaming in the CBLOL Cup is scheduled to start at 4:00 PM local time on January 17, 2026, which corresponds to 7:00 PM UTC. Viewers should verify their regional time differences to avoid missing the draft phase and potential pre-game desk analysis.

This CBLOL Cup clash is set to be played on the main CBLOL stage in São Paulo, Brazil, an esports-specific arena equipped with high-refresh-rate player stations and a live audience setup for several hundred spectators. The venue is known for its professional broadcast facilities, optimized stage lighting, and sound design tailored to competitive League of Legends events.

Given Pain Gaming’s stronger recent series record, higher average gold difference at 15 minutes, and more reliable late-game shotcalling, they are projected to win with implied odds around 1.70. However, Keyd Stars’ higher kill participation on their mid-jungle duo gives them upset potential if they can snowball early, creating value on plus-money odds for risk-tolerant bettors using DexWin.

In recent head-to-head meetings over the past split and CBLOL Cup qualifiers, Pain Gaming hold a narrow edge, winning the majority of best-of-one and best-of-three encounters against Keyd Stars. The games have tended to be high-kill with close mid-game fights, but Pain’s superior dragon and Baron control has often been the deciding factor in their series leads.
