Although a loss wouldn’t be the end of the world for the losing team, it will make their path to the playoffs a lot harder.

Lyngby Vikings vs. Project X Betting Preview

On occasion like this one when I have two struggling teams in need of a win, I usually go with Over 2.5 maps, which is exactly what I am going to do here. The reason for backing Over is simple – the odds are higher than backing the winner, while I also don’t know much about these rivals, especially about their players.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+106 @GG.BET)
