Bad News Bears vs. Third Impact Betting Preview

I am psyched up about this matchup because the winner of the previous series (Bad News Bears) meets a newcomer (Third Impact). Bad News Bears is my favorite team because they have a better lineup, more reliable map statistics, and a good ranking compared to their rival. In the selected maps, they lead in Inferno, Nuke, and Overpass. Third Impact only leads in Mirage. Therefore, Bad News Bears will progress to the semi-finals.
