TheDice vs. Sinners Betting Preview

Sinners are big favorites and they are a better-ranked team, but they displayed weaknesses at this tournament, and I am sure TheDice can exploit them and get at least one map here. Betting on Sinners to win doesn’t have value, so I suggest you go with Over 2.5 maps at very attractive odds. Each team already had one three-map match at the Snow Sweet Snow 1 Regionals.

The Pick: Over 2.5 Maps (+151 @GG.BET)
