G2 vs. Vitality Betting Preview
It’s not easy to pick a winner of this matchup as both teams are playing well lately, but considering they played maximum maps on each of the previous two occasions they met, I am going with Over 2.5 Maps. The stake is high at this tournament, and I am pretty sure we’re going to see the best display from each side, especially from Vitality’s ZywOo, who is easily the best individual in both teams.
