100 Thieves vs. Liquid Betting Preview
That recent win over Liquid will be a major mentality boost for 100 Thieves, but Liquid already won all three games at this tournament, and they are one of the biggest favorites to win it. It’s going to be a tight one, though, and I am going with Over 2.5 maps because each of the last three H2H encounters produced a maximum of three maps. Liquid secured their place in the playoffs so they can be a bit relaxed in this one, so I am backing the underdogs to get at least a map.
