Match Prediction: NaVi - Team Liquid | Dota 2

Natus Vincere and Team Liquid will face in the match for the first place of Group D. The match will be in a bo3 format and a losing roster will have another chance to make it to the playoffs.

The representatives of NaVi defeated Team Liquid with a score of 2:0 at ONE Esports World Pro Invitational Singapore about a month ago, so the CIS team is considered to be a controversial favorite of the match.

9pasha and the company spent the first gaming day very well where beat Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:1. Natus Vincere were playing well but had enough mistakes, however, Evil Geniuses didn’t look as usual. Head-to-head kills by MagicaL on the mid lane at an early stage are worth a lot. Also, the coach of the team added in an interview that EG were comfortable opponents for NaVi because they had been practicing a lot together during a bootcamp.

With regard to the match against Team Liquid. The teams have faced pretty often since the previous season and the yellow-black ones were the winners more frequently.

In its turn, Liquid also started their way with a victory and it was not easy because, as we had said in the preview, paiN Gaming will not be easy prey for opponents. The Brazilians won one map against Team Liquid, which reflects not the best shape of the first ones.

Bookmakers consider that Natus Vincere have a bit more chances to prevail and we think that the teams are equal and everyone might win, however, we will prefer the team from the North American organization because they have been playing together for a pretty long time and perform well at rating events.
