c0ntact vs. Heretics Betting Preview
It’s going to be a tight encounter and although c0ntact won in straight maps in the only H2H duel, I seriously doubt this one will finish 2-0 for one of the teams. I am rather undecided about the winner of this clash, and that’s why I am going with Over 2.5 maps.
