Can BIG Get Their Revenge?
It’s been just over a month since mousesports beat out BIG in the final of Premier Tour Summer in a five game thriller of a series that sent BIG to the play-in stage of the European Masters Summer, where they barely made it through with securing the second last spot with a 3-3 record. They now face the daunting task of beating out one of the better European teams that’s not in the LEC in mousesports, and it looks like it’s going to be an uphill battle for them the whole way.
I would say it’s more than likely that mousesports comes out on top in the first semifinal based off of their performance as of late. They managed to take first over BIG in the final of Premier Tour Summer, and they breezed through the main event group stage of European Masters Summer with a perfect 3-0 record.
I would take mousesports at -145 to win, and I would even think about taking the over of 4.5 in this series seeing as how the last two times they’ve played they have battled until the last map. The one I would not touch is the spread, as the last two times these teams have squared up it’s come down to just one game.
Picks: mousesports ( -145) / O 4.5 (+150)
European Masters Semifinals Odds: Giants vs Fnatic Rising
| Team | Spread | Win | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giants | -1.5 (+120) | -175 | O 4.5 (+155) |
| Fnatic Rising | +1.5 (-185) | +115 | U 4.5 (-235) |
Giants vs Titans
Both of the teams in the second semifinal could have very well have met up in the final had the bracket shaken out a little differently. The Giants have a very good team lead by their toplaner, Th3Antonio, and Fnatic have a few players on their roster that have some experience up with the main Fnatic squad this season.
There is no doubt it will be a highly competitive matchup between the two, a series that could very well end up going five games. Both teams went unbeaten in the Main Event portion of European Masters Summer, and 2-0’d their opponents in the first round of the Knockout Stage of the tournament.
Though I think every game is going to be close in this series, I think that in the end it will be a Fnatic Rising victory and I think it will end up being 3-1. Though their playing time on Fnatic this year was short, I think Dan and MagiFelix will be able to use their experience to help push their team past Giants and into the finals of European Masters Summer.
Picks: Fnatic Rising (+115) / Spread +1.5 (-185)
