SAW vs. DBL PONEY Betting Preview

The progress of SAW has been reduced lately because they have lost 3 consecutive matches. This can be linked to the new coach who was introduced to the team 3 months ago and is yet to synch with the team. DBL PONEY seems to be in the best shape right now based on their position, map stats, and lineup. Her start at the tournament is also impressive and we expect them to win this upcoming event.
