OG is a better-ranked side and I am going to back them in this encounter not only because of that fact. They have been in a better form as well, and given that MIBR got to this tournament because they are one of the founding teams, I don’t think OG can afford to lose this one. Also, MIBR is playing with a new lineup, and the experience will definitely play a vital part on Tuesday, I am going with OG to win.
