Pick: Total Rounds SG.pro Over 28.5 (-139 @GG.BET)

The rivals played their first and only H2H duel at the Hellcase Cup 8 a couple of months ago and SG.pro won that clash on two maps without trouble. Although I don’t think that is going to be the case here, I am backing the Russians to stay close and win at least 29 rounds against the favored opponent. I wouldn’t be surprised if they win the game, but I would be satisfied with one map. Expect a tight affair.
