Match Prediction: Vici Gaming - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2
The Internationa 2021The third game day of The International 10 has already started, and there is a lot of high-quality Dota ahead. Evil Geniuses and Vici Gaming will play in the second round match of the lower bracket.
Who would have thought that it was these teams that would decide the fate of getting into the TOP-8. The winner moves on, but the loser will be content with the TOP-12, which clearly does not match the clubs of this level.
We are figuring out who will advance further on the grid and who will leave The International 10.
Evil Geniuses form
It seemed that Evil Geniuses would be smashed to The International, but something went wrong. And quite specifically.
EG, to their great surprise, fell into the lower bracket of the playoffs, where they were forced to fight in the ball roulette. Fortunately for themselves and the fans of this team, the “evil geniuses” seem to have joined in the match against Elephant and showed the game that everyone was waiting for.

Having entered the first round of the lower bracket, EG retained their place at TI10. Will they have enough passion for a further journey?
Evil Geniuses Heroes
The most played heroes at The International 10 for EG: Monkey King (5 matches, 40% win), Tidehunter (4 matches, 50% win), Ember Spirti (4 matches, 100% win).
Most successful: Ember (4-0), Silincer (2-0).
Vici Gaming Form
Vici Gaming will act as the catch-up in this match. I don’t want to argue with that, and it makes little sense.
I hyped Vici a little during this tournament, but in reality, it seems they are really weaker than their compatriots from PSG.LGD and Invictus Gaming.
There were prerequisites to consider Vici Gaming an extremely strong and confident team. They performed well in the group stage of The International 10 and were all powerful in the first map of the Upper Playoff Bracket against Virtus.pro.
As a result, they lost that match and, I must admit, somehow looked very toothless on the second and third maps. Maybe I just underestimate Virtus.pro, but the feeling from Vici's play is not very positive.

Taking into account the fact that they did not prepare for Animajor EG, but still won over Vici, I think they will have an advantage in this match as well.

Vici Gaming showed an extremely inexpressive game with Virtus.pro, I would like to separately mention Pyw on Snapfire and Monkey King, this player is really a genius and he has a great future, but with such a performance from poyoyo on carry and Ori in mid - you won't go far, just remember as mid lane Vici stood on Ember Spirit against gpk on Storm Spirit, everyone has bad games, but not that much. Both teams love to play with Void Spirit, there will definitely be a fight for this character.
Vici Gaming shouldn't give Doom, Snapfire, and you need to think about something with Monkey King, on which Cr1t can also perform, if the Chinese draft as usual and don't come up with anything new, then you can safely believe in Evil Geniuses. You need to keep in mind a bunch of Earthshaker + Morphling.
Bookmakers give very objective odds, Vici Gaming's victory is estimated at 2.452, and at Evil Geniuses they give 1.605. Good quotes at 2: 0 from EG for 2.65, I can't believe in Vici at all.
Prediction: Evil Geniuses will beat Vici Gaming in the lower bracket of The International 10 without any problems - coefficient 1.605; with the lowest risk at 2: 0 - coefficient 2.65
Evil Geniuses often have problems with Chinese teams and I don't understand why they are considered favorites in this match. Throughout the season, Evil Geniuses showed a great game, managed to reach the Major finals twice, but they look extremely insecure at The International X. They give the card to the Unduying and Alliance team, they don't show anything new in their game and they have no idea how they are going to beat Vici Gaming. Vici Gaming, in turn, played pretty well with VP today, and before that they beat Quincy Crew and Spirit in the group. In general, China is very strong this year, conditional OGs can prevent them, and that's not a fact, I think Vici Gaming will win this match.
Vici Gaming will win this match.
