MIBR vs. Liquid Betting Preview

Liquid has better individuals and their team members spent more time playing with each other, unlike MIBR’s, which should be enough to get an edge on Saturday. Liquid is also in better form at the moment and I am backing them to secure a win here. EliGe will be too much to handle for MIBR and I am backing him to drive his team to the next round and a clash with FURIA.

The Pick: Liquid to win (-125 @PINNACLE)
