Match Prediction: Fantastic Five - Team Unique | Dota 2

Team Unique Will win

Another match within the Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 1. The teams from Quartet B are under consideration, namely the brave CIS fighters from Team Unique and Fantastic Five.

If the match for reaching the grand final of Group A seems very interesting to me, then the match in Group B does not look like that. The difference in the level of the teams playing is painfully great.

Team Unique Form

Let's start the analysis with the nominal favorite of the meeting, which, in general, is difficult to argue with. Is Team Unique in the updated roster a contender for TIR-1 CIS?

Well, to say that, of course, is premature, given that the team almost flew out of the top division of the first DPC season in the CIS. But still, Unique held on and are now performing well in the group stage of Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 1.

Team Unique results last 5 matches

Lose at PuckChamp 1-2
Defeat Team Empire 2-0
Defeat EXTREMUM 2-0
Lost to Prosti Esli 0-2
Defeat Nemiga Gaming

As you can see from a small selection of recent games, Unique skillfully impose a fight on other TIR-2 teams, and often win this fight. I'm not sure about Fantastic Five.

Fantastic Five Form

On the other side of the river, the Fantastic Five will be on the battlefield of the Ancients. Another 633 team and just potential players are fighting for the right to stay in the meat grinder of a low-level CIS dota.

So far, there is literally nothing to say about the team. The roster was assembled at the end of March and in 2021 managed to play literally one official meeting. Before that, the last meetings date back to the distant 2017.

Winning the match against Team X-Bet with a score of 2-0

Only the last match with the Esport Bears can be taken into account during the analysis of the Fantastic Five's form. Well, let's do it.

Personal meeting history

Previously, the clubs did not meet in official matches. The group B fight will be the debut face-to-face meeting.

Match outcome

At the very beginning of the analysis, I said that the match between Unique and Fantastic Five does not look interesting from the word “at all”. The point is that the teams are at completely different levels of the game.

Of course, hearing this in the TIR 2/3 scene is very funny, but in fact it is. Unique, though a little played team that managed to stay in the top season of the DPC League, but Fantastic Five, as for me, is a team for one tournament.

Result: victory for Unique.

Team Unique Will win

Team Unique: Unique received a replenishment in the form of Rostislav FN Lozovoy, instead of pikachu, the reason for the kick of the second was not disclosed. Yesterday they already played their first match against Nemiga, and we can say that this was not a strengthening, not a weakening, the unics remained approximately in the same place in terms of strength. And so, in principle, it is clear that they are preparing to fight in the upper league, for the major.

Fantastic Five: Another fresh stack, which seems to be even without organization. The only one who is named is 633, well, and Super Nova, because he played with other normal bangs. Nothing to say, despite the fact that they beat Ebears 2-0 yesterday.

The outcome of the meeting

I don’t need to spend too much time here, I think the unics look two heads stronger in terms of personal skill, team skill, and, in principle, in macro game. I think 2-0 is behind them no problem. Most bookmakers have Team Unique listed as favorites of the meeting, and the odds in their favor is 1.25. Fantastic Five, in turn, are the outsiders of the fight. The coefficient for their victory is offered in the area of 3.9.

Team Unique wins 2-0

Prediction for the game between Fantastic Five and Team Unique at Dota 2 Champions League 2021

Team Unique is clearly stronger than Fantastic Five, it's hard to imagine what F5 will be able to show against Unics. Team Unique, on the other hand, have been training with fn for a long time, for about two to three weeks, and are actively preparing for the first division of the second DPC season. Fantastic Five is clearly not Team Unique and will not be able to pick up even one card. Rostislav fn Lozovoy will 100% enhance Yunikov!

Bookmakers give odds of 1.31 for Team Unique and 3.36 for Fantastic Five, I advise you to bet on 2: 0 in favor of Unics, the coefficient will be about 1.65 - 1.70.
