OK, so this semi-final will be tough and bombastic! Vitality finished as 1st in Group A with two wins, +17 round difference, and six points, while FURIA finished 2nd in Group B with two wins and one loss, a round difference of +10 and six points. The loser will earn $10k, and the winner will advance to fight once more for the potential prize of $25k or $15k. I don't understand why the odds are that big for Vitality, yes they are good, but 5+ odds on FURIA while ~1,10 on Vitality is unbalanced. Guerri is still a stand-in for FURIA, maybe that is the reason. These two teams played two games, and the score is 1-1. I will go with a small bet here.

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