HONORIS vs. Izako Boars Betting Preview

I like this matchup for one particular reason – each of their four H2H meetings produced a maximum of three maps. Considering the significance of this game, and the current form of both sides, I am pretty sure we will have another tight affair that will produce three maps. That’s why I will avoid betting on the winner and I’ll go with Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+104 @PINNACLE)
