Pick: Spirit to win (-233 @PINNACLE)
Spirit won the only H2H duel so far when they beat Espada 2-0 a few months ago, but it wasn’t easy as Espada won 14 rounds on each map. They are the favorites in this one, but I am not brave enough to bet on them to cover the -1.5 handicap. That’s why I am going with straight win on Spirit. They know each other well, considering they are coming from the same country. However, Spirit are a better-ranked team, and I am backing them to get a win.
