So far in the Group Play BIG is 11th with three matches played, one win and two losses. They won 44 rounds and lost 41, that is a +3 round difference. Gambit is just below them on the 12th spot with three matches played, one win and two losses. They have 47 rounds won and 45 lost, that is the difference of +2. This is a hard match to bet on. We must take into consideration that Gambit played against TyLoo and lost in overtime, they won against Renegades and lost to HellRaisers by two rounds, so it looks like they are very keen to win one more game and qualify. On the other side, we have BIG, an exceptional team. They lost to Tier 2 teams like compLexity and Vega Squadron but won against Renegades quite convincingly 16-6. And if we take a look at their previous matches, they defeated FaZe, G2, and MIBR, so yeah, something is strange here. These two teams played 17 maps, and the score is eight wins for BIG and nine for Gambit, converted, they played seven games, and BIG won three and Gambit four. My bet here will be a win for team BIG.

Good luck to all who bet, and don't forget to gamble responsibly!
