Pistol performance goes to TyLoo who have 51,1% over Virtus.pro who have 46,5%.

The bummer is that these two teams played only once and it was two days ago when Virtus.pro won. The match was very intensified, and the last map was the decider, it went into overtime, and the stronger team was Virtus who won 16-19. TyLoo looks like a more promising team here for me, and i think it will be like in basketball, you cannot win against the same team twice in the same tournament.

My prediction here will be TyLoo +1,5 handicap. Good luck to all who bet!
