sAw vs. Copenhagen Flames Betting Preview

Unlike sAw, who lost the last two games, Copenhagen Flames won their previous two, but the Portuguese team still has more quality and I am backing them to get a win here. sAw, who is more than 40 places ahead of the Danish side in the CS:GO rankings, is looking to enter the top 20 (currently #22), and they could do it only if they make it to the playoffs at this tournament. Although this is not a crucial game for them, I am going with sAw to open the Snow Sweet Snow 2 with a victory.

The Pick: sAw to win (-182 @PINNACLE)
