Bookmakers give odds of 1.09 on V-Gaming and 7 on IVY; at 2:0 from V-Gaming - 1.43; at 2:1 - 3.64, for 1 card from IVY - 2.525. On December 22, the teams played with each other, then the Kazakhs won with a score of 2:1. It is important to recall that the other day V-Gaming had a replacement, antoha left the roster and Antares will play instead, but in the fourth position, and not in the top five. I'm leaning towards 2:0, but V-Gaming is a very unstable and interesting team.

Prediction: V-Gaming will easily beat IVY with a score of 2:0 - odds 1.43

Handicap +1.5 (IVY)

Unfortunately or fortunately, the IVY team can lose this match with a score of 2-0. They still need to train a lot for successful games with similar opponents, they can win teams like them, but they still cannot play with stronger teams. IVY played with V Gaming in the previous D2CL season and managed to take one map, then V Gaming didn't take their opponent too seriously on one of the maps and lost. Perhaps it is in this match that history will repeat itself, V Gaming can afford to play somewhere frivolously and will pay for this one right away. Opponents are different in terms of the level of play, but in DotA everything is on an equal footing, somewhere you made a mistake and died without a ransom - you lost the map.

The V Gaming team was predicted to have a great future in the CIS DotA, but lately the team has caught a slump and started acting uncertainly. I don’t know what this is connected with, but perhaps they just stopped developing and are not doing anything to succeed in this area. In the DPC season, they lost in replays and forgot about promotion to the first division, now they can safely focus their attention on such a tournament as D2CL. They will win this match, but with what score it is not clear yet, I can't forget the previous match against the IVY team. V Gaming can again take this game lightly and give away one card, the most logical thing in our case is to bet on one card from an outsider, just bet a small amount and enjoy the game. There are no guarantees that V Gaming are going to close this match dry.

IVY can take one card in this match, but that's a risk.
