SKADE vs. MIBR Betting Preview

MIBR is perhaps a better-ranked team but they are playing with a new lineup and already showed weaknesses at this tournament. SKADE could be closer to the victory, but betting on the winner is not something I’d advise in this game. Go with Over 2.5 maps as I expect to see a length affair with a lot of rounds on each side.

The Pick: Over 2.5 (+115 @PINNACLE)
