I do believe Wisla Krakow has a chance in this one, but I am going with Dignitas to win. It will probably not be an easy win, so the handicap bettors can try with Wisla Krakow to cover a +1.5 handicap or Over 2.5 maps. Dignitas isn't impressive of late, and this game is an opportunity for them to start the tournament with a victory and have an easier job in the next game. I am backing them to win.
