BIG vs. MIBR Betting Preview
BIG is a favorite here and I am pretty sure they will get a win, but we cannot ignore the fact that MIBR got a map in the previous H2H duel, and I wouldn’t exclude the similar scenario in this one. We also must not ignore the fact that BIG destroyed MIBR on Mirage and Dust2, dropping just two rounds on both maps. That’s why I am not going to experiment with handicaps or totals and I am going with a straight victory on the favorites.
The Pick: BIG to win (-217 @PINNACLE)
