Vitality vs. G2 Betting Preview
I expect a thrilling match between the two teams. Based on the head-to-head analysis, both teams have presented their best performance, and being a final match of Group A, no team will give a poor match. Winner advances to the playoff semi-finals, the losing team goes to quarter-finals. The winner of the grand final will walk away with $100,000 and both Vitality and G2 yearn for it. In such matches, I always avoid betting on the winner. The Over 2.5 maps will be lucrative for the game.
