Back FEARX at -150 on the moneyline

FEARX's established mid-jungle duo of VicLa and Raptor has shown reliable coordination in recent splits, which generally supports backing the favorite to control tempo and objectives against DRX.

Take a value shot on DRX +110

Prefer DRX +1.5 maps over straight upset

If markets offer a map handicap, DRX +1.5 maps can be interesting because their veteran shotcalling around Ucal and Andil often keeps them competitive even when they are not favored to win the series outright.

Speculate on FEARX 2–0 correct score
