Match Prediction: Vici Gaming - Team Liquid | Dota 2
ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021Vici Gaming and Team Liquid will face off in the final Wild Card match of the tournament at the ONE Esports Singapore Major. What could be the best end of the stage if not a fight between two favorites?
This time we will not start the analysis with potential favorites, but we will do it in an arbitrary format. Besides, it is not easy to place a bet in someone's favor in such a match.
Team Liquid Form
Let's start with the European team. Team Liquid in the Singapore Major is clearly serious, but we'll get to that.
To begin with, it is worth remembering their path up to this moment. And it all did not start very well.
With the start of 2021, Liquid was clearly experiencing problems, which resulted in a not too confident performance during the regular DPC season of the European region. After finishing the group stage with a score of 3-4, Liquid brought themselves to replay, which they still managed to get through and get into the TOP-4
Results of the last 5 meetings of Team Liquid
- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-1
- Defeat OG 1-0
- Defeat Tundra Esports 1-0
- Defeat Nigma 2-0
- Defeat PSG.LGD 2-0
However, the group stage of the European region has been around for a long time, and in Singapore Liquid look like a team ready to fight in the main stage. What is it worth to beat in the class Nigma and PSG.LGD, without giving the opponents a single chance to win.
Vici Form
On the other side of the battlefield of the Ancients on Liquid, Vici Gaming will be waiting. The Chinese Tigers certainly do not intend to miss the first Major of the season, and therefore must show their best game.
All the prerequisites for this are there. Remember at least Vici in the regular season of the China region
In the top division, Vici almost managed to break into the TOP-2, but the loss at the decisive moment in the match against PSG.LGD sent them to the Wild Card of the major. However, this should not be a problem for a Vici-class team.
Results of last 5 matches Vici Gaming
- Defeat Elephant 2-1
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
- Defeat from Aster with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Aster.Aries with a score of 0-2
- Defeat AS Monaco Gambit 2-0
Of course, the last statistics looks a little depressing, but do not forget that the Wild Card and the Major itself are clearly a priority for any team. Therefore, Vici must show good play.
Personal meeting history
The list of face-to-face meetings of these clubs is long and rich in matches at various tournaments. We'll take a look at the last 5 fights.
In the last 5 matches, Vici Gaming has won three times, one meeting ended in a draw, and Liquid won once. However, do not forget that all those matches were played in completely different rosters, and now, in fact, two new teams will play against each other.
Match outcome
As we can see, the teams debuted quite well. Liquid moved PSG.LGD and Nigma without a chance, and Vici fought against Gambit.
In a face-to-face meeting of these clubs, I cannot single out the strongest. Yes, maybe I would bet on Liquid's clear victory, but still I want to believe that such a match will end in a world match.
Result: a draw.
I present to you the prediction for the match between Team Liquid vs Vici Gaming in the WildCard stage for ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021.
Team Liquid - started the championship with three victories, defeated the obvious outsiders in the face of Nigma and T1, and also defeated PSG.LGD. They continue to amaze and rate with their signature heroes, they take Lone Druid in the easy one, Visage appears in the mid lane, on the four: Earth Spirit/Tiny, on the five: Oracle, Crystal Maiden, Keeper of the Light.

Vici Gaming - defeated two outsiders in the person of ASM.GMB and T1, the team from Southeast Asia confirmed this attitude towards them, they did not show anything, but there were some problems with the Gambits.

Vici have not shown anything worthwhile yet, as the level of the opponents is very, very ambiguous.
