Editor's Prediction
9 Pandas are slight favorites in this matchup, but having a stand-in for the sniper position could pose challenges. While Metizport didn't shine during the qualifiers, they can still be competitive, especially with performances from AdamB and Humpus. Our bet is on Metizport to win with a handicap (+2.5).
