OK, so the odds are almost the same on both teams, that means this should be a good game and a good game to bet on. These two teams played one best of 3 games just two weeks ago, and FURIA won 2-1 (16-11 first map, 5-16 second map, and 16-5 third map), so we can see it was THICC for both teams in all maps. The reason i think FURIA will win again is that they won against eUnited, and for SP eUnited is a pain in the back, they always lose, anyway whoever wins and again ins against eUnited will lose to NRG in the finale, so yeah, tough decision.

I will go with FURIA here, i wanted to bet 10 points, but it is too risky since SP won several last games and looked like in good form + they are ranked better for 34 spots in the ladder.

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