Bravos vs. W7M H2H Record

These rivals have met on four occasions so far, and W7M won all four encounters, including the recent one at this tournament when it was 19-17 on Overpass. Interestingly, Bravos won only one map against W7M in those four meetings, and it was on Overpass, also in overtime.

Bravos vs. W7M Betting Preview

Bravos did upset the biggest favorite at this tournament, Sharks, in the group stage, but I don’t think they are good enough to make another surprise when they take on W7M on Friday. The H2H record is completely on W7M’s side, and the maximum Bravos can take here is one map, nothing more. Expect a close fight if they play on Overpass, which proved to be Bravos’ favorite map against W7M. In case you prefer live betting, feel free to bet on Over rounds if they play Overpass. Otherwise, back W7M to win this clash.

The Pick: W7M to win (-175 @PINNACLE)
