Over 2.5 maps as a value play

Both squads show comparable recent series results and relatively close global rankings, suggesting a competitive set where backing the match to go the distance can offer plus money.

PuckChamp +1.5 maps handicap

Handicap markets pricing PuckChamp +1.5 maps at attractive odds reflect their ability to at least split games even when underdog, creating a buffer against a narrow DYNASTY victory.

DYNASTY to win at least one map

Lines on DYNASTY to take a minimum of one map are short but still viable for parlays, leveraging their consistent map wins across recent series even in tougher matchups.

Player prop on bottega’s farm and kills
