Dignitas vs. OG Betting Preview
Let’s be honest now, if they weren’t one of the founding teams, Dignitas wouldn’t even qualify for this tournament. That being said, I don’t think they have the quality to be here, and although they proved they are capable of creating problems for the opponents at the Flashpoint 2, Dignitas will find it hard t make an upset on Wednesday. The maximum Dignitas can get out of this match is one map, so the braver bettors can go with Dignitas +1.5 at excellent +133 odds. Betting on OG to win (-385) doesn’t have a great value, so this could turn out to be a tricky one. OG could destroy Dignitas, while on the other hand, Dignitas could win a map, and only because of the fact that both teams played a maximum of three maps in their respective last two games, I am going with Over 2.5 maps. Go with a lower stake, though.
The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+177 @GG.BET)
