Nordavind vs. 1WIN Betting Preview

Even though they are 15 places ahead of 1WIN in the CS:GO rankings and are favorites in this duel, I will avoid betting on Nordavind to win. It’s the start of the tournament, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the favorites drop a win. I expect to see a big battle and a lot of rounds on both sides, and therefore, I am going with Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+109 @GGBET)
