MIBR vs. FURIA Betting Preview

FURIA showed quality in the first two games at the tournament, and they shouldn’t have a lot of problems beating their compatriots. FURIA can sit back and wait for an opportunity to come, considering MIBR is desperate for a win, so they will have to be more aggressive here. That will likely open space for the favorites to get a victory, and I am backing them to do it.
