ENCE vs. EPG Family Betting Preview

EPG Family has been red hot since they changed their name, and it seems that ENCE is not good enough to stop them on Tuesday. Still, it’s only a matter of time when EPG Family will drop a map after a fantastic five-game run, but I am not going to bet on ENCE to take it here. I am also not going to back EPG Family to cover a -1.5 handicap, so I am betting on the favorites to get a straight victory.

The Pick: EPG Family to win (-200 @PINNACLE)
