🎯 Prediction & Betting Recommendation
Prediction:
📌 T1 wins 3:0 or 3:1
Recommended Bets:
- Safe Pick: T1 -1.5 Map Handicap @ 1.17
- Value Pick: CFO +2.5 Maps @ 1.69 (if you expect one upset map)

While CTBC Flying Oyster has shown grit in regional play, T1’s international experience and roster firepower (featuring legends like Faker and Gumayusi) are likely to be too much to handle.
