On February 7, CIS Rejects lost to Gambit Esports, even Yatoro did not help them, they then took Templar Assassin, Nyx Assassin, Shadow Demon, Magnus, Lion; in recent CIS.R games they play without RAMZES666, it is possible that Roma is being tested in some tier-1 team.
Mind Games lost to HellRaisers the other day, at the first pick: IO, Storm Spirit, Wraith King, Hoodwink, OD; on the second: Nyx Assassin, Puck, Jakiro, Wraith King, Axe.
Bookmakers give a coefficient of 2 on Mind Games and 1.768 on CIS Rejects, good quotes for TB 2.5 on cards for 1.91. I would advise you to wait for who will replace CIS.R, and there are also rumors that Mind Games want to change the roster. At 2:1 from CIS Rejects, it looks very tempting - 3.74.
Forecast: 3 maps in the match between Mind Games and CIS Rejects - coefficient 1.91; with 2:1 risk in favor of CIS Rejects - odds 3.74
The coach of the Mind Games team said that they are not interested in such tournaments, Dota Champions League is not a priority for them and they want to fully focus on the DPC season. I think that such a decision is absolutely correct and logical, the prize fund of the Dota Champions League tournament is not so big to try one hundred percent, you can test something and experiment with the choice of characters and be ready for the DPC season. Mind Games had a crazy series of victories and you and I understand why this is happening, skillful guys play in the team and they just needed motivation to play and win, the new owner gave them all this and now they have grown in all aspects of this discipline. But I will not bet on the Mind Games in this match, the coach made it clear that they will not give all the best here and therefore, I do not want to lose my money on this event.
CIS Rejects have been playing beautifully lately, they managed to reach the first division of the CIS region and are now keeping fit in such a tournament as the Dota Champions League. The last meetings in the best of 1 format leave much to be desired for them, well, we both understand that it is difficult to show one hundred percent in this format and you need not to make mistakes at all, there will be no chance to improve in the next maps and this is a fact. CIS Rejects is played by skillful guys who have always known how to play DotA, they have precious experience and it helps them to crack such matches like nuts. They are likely to win today's match, they will do it due to team and individual skill, you can give them preference before the match and during the match. The odds for this meeting will be pleasant, the two teams are in approximately equal condition and can show high-class DotA.
CIS Rejects will win this match.
