Vitality vs. Dignitas Betting Preview

Vitality has dominated during their last 3 H2H matches. Nevertheless, this should not be a guarantee in the upcoming matchup because the team hasn’t attained the required level of teamwork over the last 3 months. Dignitas has an advantage on 5 maps while Vitality leads in only 2 cards. When we compare both teams’ roster, Vitality is the better side and will win.

The Pick: Vitality to win.
