OK, so DreamHack is a great tournament, especially when it has 100k prize pool, and there are mostly Tier 2,3 teams participating. So far MAD Lions are 1st in Group B with two wins and +21 round difference, while North are 2nd in Group A with two wins, one loss and +14 round difference. The odds are pretty much the same so it will be an interesting clash to watch. Head-to-head these two teams played two games, and the score is 1-1, this was when MAD Lions were represented as Tricked.

I will go with North +1,5 handicap.

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