Pick: Over 26.5 Rounds (-128 @PINNACLE)

Nordavind did win each of the last three H2H duels, but two of them were tight and could easily go either way, including the latest one when it was 16-14 on Mirage at the BLAST Rising 2020. This is a Best of 1 matchup, so I expect both teams to take it seriously, especially Nordavind, who are fighting for the playoff spot, unlike AGO, who are six points ahead with two games in hand. I am going with a lot of rounds in this one.
