Vitality vs. mousesports Betting Preview
Although I am leaning toward Vitality in this one, I am going to avoid betting on the winner here. I am choosing the Over 2.5 maps option because three of five H2H meetings (Best of 3) produced a maximum of three maps. This is a quite strong tournament and tight group, so every map will count, and that’s why I expect a close encounter that could go either way.
