BetBoom - VG (bo3)

And yesterday there was a severe underestimation of VG. It would seem that everything is with them - they have tested their drafts, they have interesting closings and they execute with dignity. As if playing with them, the tops begin to pick crookedly and play too chaotically. Hopefully this won't happen to BB today. Let me carefully play through strictly 2 cards in a series (in case a miracle happens again). But BB’s favorite is here and I see no reason to deprive them of this status. 2:0

Yandex - PV (bo3)

I’m a little surprised by the assessment of these teams from BB, they almost draw equality. I fundamentally disagree - for me Yandex is the favorite here by a large margin. In general, there are 0 reasons to worry about Yandex’s victory here, the only thoughts are whether there will be a fight in this series. I'm more inclined to believe in 2:0
