Pick: Natus Vincere ML (-323 @GG.BET)

I am not impressed with the form of both rivals, but I am giving an advantage to Natus Vincere because they cannot afford to lose another game and suffer elimination out of the WePlay! Clutch Island. They already displayed some weak results lately, and another defeat would be too much. I’d avoid betting on the -1.5 map handicap here because Hard Legion won the most recent H2H tilt, and they could get a map here. Go with the straight win on the favorites instead.
