Sprout vs. Heroic Betting Preview
Sprout might be in a way better form at the moment, but playing at the tournament of this profile is something else, and even though Heroic didn’t impress lately, they have more experience of playing at this level. After all, they are the No.2 team in the world right now. That being said, I firmly believe in Heroic’s win in this one.
