Pick: Winstrike ML (-163 @ Pinnacle)

I am taking Winstrike to win this match easily against Izako Boars. A key component for Izako Boars victory was the team’s familiarity with AVEZ’s playstyle. However, goingu p against an experienced and in-form Winstirke will be a task too tall for the Polish squad.
