NAVI answer with b1t at 89 and 12 percent to top frag, ahead of two of MOUZ's five. w0nderful (87, AWP) and makazze (85) follow. Aleksib at 68 is the lowest rated player in the game, which is what an IGL number usually looks like.
The read
There is no side to take at these prices. The information is in the shape: a third map is close to a coin flip, so the series total is the market worth a look before the moneyline. If you want MOUZ, the series is the safer version of the same opinion than the sweep.
