Bravos vs. 9z Betting Preview

I do believe 9z has a chance in this one, but I am going with Bravos to win. It will probably not be an easy win, so we expect more than 2 maps and the Over 2.5 bettors can take the chance. 9z has a slight lead on Nuke but Bravos leads comfortably on Inferno, Overpass, and Ancient. For this reason, Bravos has a better chance.

The Pick: Bravos to win.
