The reigning champions from EG are the main contenders for victory this season again, and the regular part of the championship proved they are consistent. The team took first place and has a comfortable position in the playoffs. They beat competitors primarily because of the high-quality play of the bottom lane and midlaner, who are among the best players in the league in their positions.
Cloud9 has many problems this season. At some point, they lost confidence in themselves and let even less talented individually teams go ahead. We don't expect their performance in the playoffs will change dramatically, so they are unlikely able to compete with the reigning champion.
Our prediction: EG to win comfortably. We recommend the “1 Hand (-1.5)” bet, odds 1.91
