mousesports vs. Cloud9 Betting Preview
mousesports is a favorite here and is playing in good form at the moment, but I already bet against Cloud9 on four occasions in the last week or so and missed three times as they surprised NiP, Complexity, and Spirit. Even though mousesports won the recent H2H duel, I cannot bet against Cloud9 as they impressed me at this tournament. Instead, I am backing them to get at least a map and cover a +1.5 spread.
The Pick: Cloud9 +1.5 (-204 @GG.BET)
