Complexity vs. G2 Betting Preview
I am not impressed with the way these teams are applying lately, and it seems that this game could go either way. That’s why I don’t recommend betting on the winner, as both Complexity and G2 showed inconsistency in the previous few weeks. In this kind of situation, I am usually going with Over 2.5 maps, even though I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the teams secure a 2-0 victory. I am backing Over 2.5 maps.
The Pick: Over 2.5 maps (-107 @GG.BET)
