B8 win this, and the underdog price on them is a gift. the book has priced this match with B8 as a clear favourite at roughly 61% fair probability, yet a soft book is offering them at a price that implies only 41%. That is not a small discrepancy. The market is right and the soft line is simply wrong. The map pool backs this up. B8 carry a 71% win rate on Mirage across 21 maps and a 67% win rate on Ancient across 18. FUT have never played Inferno in this sample and their Nuke is a shaky 43%. In a Bo1 veto where B8 get to land on one of their two dominant maps, FUT's pool offers very little resistance. Recent form compounds the picture: B8 just beat FUT 2-0 in their most recent meeting, and their last five includes wins over The MongolZ and NiP as well as a run through the current event. FUT have dropped four of their last five. The angle the public is missing here is name recognition. FUT carry a certain brand equity from earlier in the year when they were beating Astralis and making finals. That reputation is dragging the soft book line toward a 50-50 that the book simply does not agree with. We take B8 at the inflated price with full confidence.
