PACT vs. Winstrike Betting Preview

PACT played just three maps with the current lineup and I think they will need more time to adapt and develop chemistry among team members. Winstrike, on the other hand, is already playing in good form and I think they will start this tournament with a win. I am not saying PACT is without a chance, but they will have to look for a victory elsewhere.
