Finest vs. X Gamer Betting Preview

Finest is the better side in this matchup. They have won all their last 5 matches while X Gamer has only managed 2 out of their last 5 games with a win ratio much less than what it should be for them, which suggests they are not playing at full strength or something along those lines. Additionally, Finest has a better line-up and leads in all the maps.

The Pick: Finest to win.
