ViCi vs. TYLOO Betting Preview

I’ve noticed a huge anomaly in the odds on the winner for this game. Namely, some bookmakers are offering high odds on ViCi to win, while the others are giving lower ones. I don’t know why is that, maybe they know something we don’t, but in case you want to back ViCi to win, you can find them at +160 with Vulkan.Bet. I am going with Over 4.5 maps because I expect to see a big battle and TYLOO to win a couple of maps, despite the fact they’ll trail 1-0.

The Pick: Over 4.5 Maps (+163 @GG.BET)
