Team Liquid vs. Cloud9 Betting Preview
After watching Team Liquid destroying Gen. G, especially on the opening map of the latest match, I am leaning towards the favorites here. Cloud9 also played very well against MiBR, but I believe Team Liquid will be a bit too much for the underdog to handle. The best-ranked team at this tournament has the potential to go all the way, and I am backing them to beat Cloud9 here. The rivals played Dust2 map in each of three H2Hs, and Team Liquid leads 2-1, while Team Liquid also have a 75% wins on that map in the last three months. In case they select Dust2 again, make sure you back Team Liquid to win it.
