forZe vs. x6tence Betting Preview

I am backing forZe to win for a couple of reasons. They are a better-ranked team, are in a better form, and have more experience than x6tence. Another solid reason is their H2H record, which is on forZe’s side. It is a Best of 1 matchup, so forZe cannot afford to lose this game. The odds on them to win are pretty much attractive, and considering x6tence lost three of their last four matches, I am going with forZe to take this one.

The Pick: forZe to win (-175 @bet365)
