BIG vs. Complexity Betting Preview

I am usually betting on Over 2.5 maps when it comes to the top 10 duels, but this time around, I am going to pass. None of the last five H2H meetings produced the maximum of three maps, which is the biggest reason I will avoid that bet. Given the recent form and H2H record, my bet is BIG to win, but it’s going to be a tight clash.

The Pick: BIG to win (+101 @PINNACLE)
