⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Invictus Gaming appear to have a slight edge, having beaten Hanwha Life Esports and competed at a higher level in the Chinese league. However, LYON have already proven their credentials by taking a map off Gen.G in a best-of-three series. Both squads are capable of strong stretches but have struggled to maintain leads against well-organized opponents. Given the recent results, it’s difficult to expect either side to dominate. A total over 2.5 maps bet looks like a solid option, as a tense, back-and-forth series seems likely.
