Winstrike vs. HellRaisers Betting Preview
HellRaisers lost three of the previous four matches, and that current form is the biggest reason I am going with Winstrike in this one. HellRaisers’ display in a loss to Nemiga was quite disappointing, and even though I think they will improve here, I don’t think they will win more than a map. Winstrike has a chance to practically secure the playoff ticket with a victory, and I don’t think they will miss an opportunity to make it.
