Match Prediction: NaVi - Winstrike Team | Dota 2
Dota 2 Champions League 2022 Season 7The long group stage with replays at Dota 2 Champions League Season 7 has come to an end. There are a lot of unrestrained matches behind, and even more high-quality DotA ahead.
HellRaisers, Team Tickles and NaVi will debut in the main stage of D2CL. About the latter in more detail.
In the debut playoff match at Dota 2 Champions League Season 7, NaVi will play against Winstrike Team. Fight of teams from the top division, by the way.
Both teams have recently shown not the most stable game, and if you don’t expect any special revelations from Winstrike, then NaVi are more likely to disappoint than please with their performance. We hope that after the slap in the first DPC season, NaVi have gathered and are ready to demonstrate a worthy game.
Form NaVi
NaVi will be the nominal favorite in this match. Perhaps we can agree with this.
Despite the careless play of NaVi in the first season of the CIS top league, the team has already managed to visit the 6th season of D2CL, where it even took 2nd place. Most likely, it is the second place at Dota 2 Champions League Season 6 that serves as an advantage when evaluating the form before the start of the match.

Winstrike Team Uniform
Winstrike Team will play as catch-ups in this match. This is not surprising.
Despite the past merits of the Winstrike Team in the form of a pass to the top division, the new season for SoNNeiKo and the company is going hard. Getting into replays on D2CL is a direct confirmation of this.

There is also the question of whether the Winstrike Team will play in full force, or whether the trend for substitutions during the tournament will continue. We hope not.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, these teams have not met with each other. This fight will be the debut face-to-face fight.
Match outcome
I don't expect an easy walk for NaVi in this fight. SoNNeikO will show a decent game against the former team and wring out at least 1 map.
Result: +1.5 on Winstrike.

Prediction: Winstrike will beat NAVI on 1 map - odds 1.78; Over 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.958
To be honest, I don't understand why Natus Vincere are 100% favorites in this meeting, they have a lot of problems in the game and Winstrike Team can take advantage of this. The last match Natus Vincere lost to the Virtus.Pro team with a score of 2-0, it looked absolutely without a chance and I don’t know how they would react to such a tournament as the Dota Champions League... Natus Vincere are played by cool guys who always knew what to do on at any stage of the game, but you must be a stable team and win such teams twice, but in a match with Winstrike Team there will most likely be problems. Natus Vincere showed up for this tournament because they need to practice and be ready for the DPC season, this is absolutely the right decision in this situation, but I'm not sure about winning this tournament. We all love Natus Vincere, but we know how these guys can fill a huge advantage and do strange things, I think in this match they will definitely give up one card and it will be absolutely normal.
Winstrike Team have entered the first division of the CIS region and they have a huge motivation to win in such matches, now they are under the wing of the organization and should gain a foothold here as best and as long as possible. Previously, it was a simple stack, but now the guys represent one of the largest organizations in the CIS region and are required to show top class DotA. In this match, they will most likely take one card, I'm sure they will manage to do it, the guys are not the first day in DotA and they understand what to do even in the most difficult situations.
Winstrike Team will take one card.
