OK, so big tournament at our hands, it will be undoubtedly very interesting. The winner here will advance to fight against the winner of ViCi versus NRG, and it will be most probably NRG. Odds favor FaZe hard, but let's not forget that this is best of 1 and anything can happen. Looking at the matches FaZe played we can see that they are pretty strong in these type of matches by winning against Astralis, Na'Vi, and Cloud9, while Chiefs played their last best of 1 match almost two months ago. I will go with a small value bet on Chiefs.

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