FURIA vs. G2 Betting Preview
G2 is in horrible form at the moment, and even though FURIA didn’t play a single match in the last two weeks, I am going with them in this one. They are in the top 5 in the world with a reason, and at the moment, the French team cannot stop them. I see FURIA and Astralis battling in the Upper final, and I am backing FURIA to take a win here.
