Here it is very interesting to look at the teams that are rightly regarded as the strongest in their division. In fact, there are no favourites in this match-up, as the teams have plenty of experience.
In general, the meeting promises to be very interesting, but it's hard to pick just one team that will be favoured. Therefore, I would rely on three maps here.

M80 Esports vs Moist Moguls match prediction
I believe Moist Moguls will have a tough encounter ahead of them, given the one head-to-head defeat. However, M80 Esports may also falter, especially since the team does not always show exemplary play.
Moreover, both teams can boast experience, and with maps they are in full order. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on maps 2.5 more.
