Finest vs. AVE Boars Betting Preview

This is a perfect example of over 2.5 maps for me. Both teams have some impressive stats on the maps, but I think it will be a very close match. Finest has an advantage on 5 maps while AVE Boars has some decent players who can turn the tides of the game. However, they also have bad days where they just lose to underdog teams without any chances. Based on this, we are predicting over 2.5 maps for this match.

The Pick: Over 2.5 maps.
