Entropiq vs. Virtus.pro Betting Preview

Virtus.pro is a better-ranked team and favorite in this one, but I am not so sure they will secure a win. Even if they fail to do so, they will have a much easier job in the next game, while the same can be said for Entropiq. I expect to see an entertaining game with a lot of rounds on each side, and that’s why I am going with Over 2.5 maps rather than betting on the winner.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (-104 @GGBET)
