FaZe vs. Vitality Betting Preview
Vitality proved they could beat favorites at this tournament, but they lost to FaZe a few days ago and will be looking to get revenge in this one. I am not sure whether they can pull it off, but I am pretty sure they will fight until the very end. The stakes are high – the finals guarantee a ticket to the BLAST Premier Global Finals 2020, and this matchup is not going to be settled in straight maps. That’s why I am going with Over 2.5 Maps.
