1WIN vs. Trident Betting Preview

Interestingly, only one of Trident’s eight games produced a maximum of three maps, while that was the case in just two of 1WIN’s last eight Best of 3 matches. Even though I usually bet on Over 2.5 maps when it comes to close encounters such as this one, I am going with Under 2.5 maps this time around because I will follow betting trends and recent results.

The Pick: Under 2.5 Maps (-143 @GG.BET)
