Rogue has had a nice run in the previous several best of 1 games, winning four in a row but before that, they lost to Cloud9 and Liquid quite convincingly. Fragsters, on the other hand, have risen their form quite a lot in May this year. They only lost to Luminosity and team Spirit but defeated Luminosity, eUnited, Tempo Storm, Valiance, and Nexus. Rogue has played very well, but their style is straightforward, every American team has that rush and slash tactics, where they focus on individual player headshot skills. But Fragsters have shown that they are a very tactical orientated team when they win with a huge difference they still don't rush but play it slowly. Also, Rickeh is a new player for team Rogue from this tournament, so all in all, i think Fragsters are a better team, but since the prize pool is good enough for both teams to do their best, i will bet +1,5 handicap on team Fragsters.

Good luck to all who bet, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
