Falcons - OG: betting tip for the IEM Rio match
Falcons will face OG on August 26 in the IEM Rio closed qualifiers. The Danes are in good shape now and have often achieved success in previous matches.

By the way, MoDo and company have recently been picking Dust2 quite often, where they currently have a 40% win rate.

2.05Tip and bets
OG, in our opinion, are capable of imposing a tough fight on the Danes in the upcoming match. The Falcons had very intense days this week and played many official matches, so they could simply "burn out". The "Bulls" took at least one map in many previous meetings and won their pick, so it makes sense to bet on their success with a handicap.
Prediction - OG win with handicap (+1.5) on maps for 1.70
