mousesports vs. G2 Betting Preview

It’s going to be a tough match to predict when it comes to the winner because these two teams are among the top 20 in the CS:GO rankings and I cannot separate them at the moment despite the fact that G2 is a better-ranked side right now. Three of the previous four Best of 3 duels produced a maximum of three maps, and instead of betting on the winner, I am going with Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (-103 @GG.BET)
