Budapest Five vs. hREDS Betting Preview

Budapest Five is a better-ranked team and with more experience, but I wouldn’t bet my money on them to win here. Each of Budapest Five’s games at this tournament produced a maximum of three maps, so I believe betting on Over 2.5 maps in this one has more value than backing them to get a victory. The odds are quite attractive and that’s why I am going with Over.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+117 @GG.BET)
