AGO vs. GamerLegion Betting Preview
This is a definition of over 2.5 maps for me. When both rivals are playing well and are on a positive run, I usually avoid betting on the winner. I expect to see a bunch of rounds on each side, while at least one overtime is a possibility. It could go either way, so I am going with over 2.5 maps at quite attractive odds.
The Pick: Over 2.5 maps (+112 @GGBET)
