Gen.G vs. OG Betting Preview

Gen.G already beat OG at this tournament and even though the bookmakers are favoring OG in this game, I am not brave enough to bet on the favorites here. Gen.G played only five maps with the new lineup but they won two of them against OG, and although OG might get a win on Friday, I am pretty sure the underdogs will win at least one map. That’s why I am going with Over 2.5 maps.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+105 @GG.BET)
