Counter Logic Gaming vs. Cloud9 Betting Previews

It is clear that this should be a comfortable victory for Cloud9, so it won't be my tip for a game. Although they are the worst team in the league, their average game duration of 31+ minutes says that CLG won’t give up easily. I think it will be the case this time too. Cloud9 will have an advantage in the first 8-10 minutes for sure, but CLG will wait even for a slight chance and will try to get as many kills as it is possible to do.

The Pick: Over 23.5 kills (-122 @GGBet)
