Pinnacle - 25 Year Anniversary ShowWelcome to EGamersWorld.
The Dota 2 competition never stops and it's all thanks to the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show with its group stage. The local tournament, which takes place online, has brought together 20 teams of varying sizes in one place.
All of them are fighting for a total prize pool of $100,000. Among them are NaVi and Yellow Submarine, playing in Group B and challenging for the right to enter the play-offs in a head-to-head match.
We will talk about NaVi vs Yellow Submarine on Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show and try to figure out which team will be stronger. The winner significantly increases their chances to qualify for the main stage, while the loser is almost eliminated from the play-offs.
Let's go.
NaVi Form
Let's open the match analysis with NaVi's form. In this match they are playing as favourites, with odds to win at around 1.01. Simply put, Yellow Submarine don't stand a chance, judging by the odds alone.
"Born to Win" has not lived up to its name for quite some time. There are no wins to be seen, and neither is there any stability.
The year 2022, when NaVi flashed at major championships, is not bad. Back then, "Born to Win" played in the top division of Eastern Europe. Then there was TOP-5 at DPC 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division 1, TOP-6 at D2CL Season 7 and TOP-6 at DPC EEU 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1 Playoffs.
The main achievement was Top 2 at DPC EEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1. Thanks to this it was possible to get to PGL Arlington Major 2022, the only Major in 2 years. And there Natus Vincere could not get into the play-offs of the tournament, not coming out of the group stage. As a result, they finished in the top 16 and went to the big Reshuffles.
- NaVi lineup: shigetsu, mellojul, nefrit, W_Zayac, Malady .
In general, before Long Sogpeg Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show, and the whole year, NaVi was played by daze. But, after poor results, he was demoted to the academic squad.
In the new year, NaVi failed twice in the DPC league. And in the first season they took the top 8, before buying the Puck Champ slot and flying to the top 7, leaving the top league.
During the breaks were Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1. There they took the top 2, and then the top 8 at Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #2.
In the middle of the year DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division II. Won all matches there with no problems, finishing the league with a 7-0 record.
Before Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show NaVi played at The International 2023 - Eastern Europe Qualifier, Malta Vibes #3 and Qualifiers at Kuala Lumpur 2023. The result was 2 top 3 and top 6 at qualifiers for the first major tournament of the year.
NaVi Long Sogpeg at the Pinnacle - 25 Year Anniversary Show with a relatively easy win. They outlasted stack Atlas Burden by a score of 2-0. However, in the next match the opponent was much more serious, and it was Falcons. NaVi tried to impose their game, but the series ended in favour of Falcons, without any chances for "born to win".
After that there was a match with MoneyMakers, which largely determined the fate of NaVi in the course of the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show. A clean victory over the weaker opponent allowed to guarantee a 2-1 score in the group and, as a consequence, to significantly increase NaVi's chances of qualifying for the play-offs in case of victory.
The most popular NaVi heroes
Rubick appeared most often in the picks - 6 matches, 50% wins. Keeper of The Light, Storm Spirit (5 matches each, 80% of wins) also appeared in the picks.
There was Monkey King, Underlord, Terrorblade, Pugna (4 matches each, 75% wins)
Yellow Submarine Uniform.
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Yellow Submarine's uniform. In this match the Eastern European stack is playing as a number two, without much prospect of winning. The odds for their success are at around 10.
Yellow Submarine is the most typical representative of the TIR-2, TIR-3 scene. They constantly flicker somewhere, but frankly speaking, it is of little use.
In general, the history of this tag starts a long time ago, back in 2015, but we need more recent data. For example, Yellow Submarine shone in 2022, appearing at the Dota 2 Champions League in January, or rather at the closed qualifiers for the D2CL, where they finished in the top 8. That was their first and last appearance
Back on the radar of the professional scene in 2023, not surprisingly, thanks to Valve. With their decision to abandon the DPC system, the Dota 2 developers have given the green light to teams like Yellow Submarine, who will shine at local tournaments more and more often.
- Yellow Submarine lineup: Satanic, erase, Absolutemassive, rue, aik .
In 2023, Yellow Submarine played at Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #4. Back then, they failed to make it past the group stage, coming away with a 1-4 win. The Pinnacle Cup finished in the top 14.
There was also an attempt to qualify for Kuala Lumpur 2023. The attempt is frankly unsuccessful, because further TOP-4 in the open qualification of Eastern Europe could not get through.
Now they play on Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show. So far their game can be characterised as neutral: they have 1 win and 1 loss.
Before the game with NaVi, Yellow Submarine was "lucky" to meet Falcons. The match turned out to be more than passable, and Falcons took the victory with a score of 2-0 without any difficulty.
Yellow Submarine's most popular heroes
Yellow Submarine's most popular hero is Storm Spirit. Paparazzi played him 5 times, but won only 2 matches.
We also played Alchemist (4 matches, 75% wins), Phoenix (4 matches, 50% wins), Keeper of the Light (4 matches, 25% wins), Rubick (4 matches, 25% wins).
There was also Pangolier, Underlord, Pugna, Dragon Knight. All heroes appeared 3 times and won 2 matches each.
Head-to-head history
Previously the teams have not played each other in head-to-head matches. This match will be the debut match for the sides.
Predicted result of NaVi vs Yellow Submarine on Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show
Natus Vincere have everything on their hands in this match. The Ukrainian club should have no problem outplaying a lesser-named opponent and prepare for the Long Island play-offs. And it should be a 2-0 victory and no other way.
Result: NaVi win with the score 2-0.
Natus Vincere is the 23rd team in the world ranking. After unsuccessful qualifications for TI, two players are leaving the team at once. Instead of Malik and Danial, daze and nefrit join the organisation. Having received a direct invitation to the closed qualifications for ESL One Kuala Lumpur the guys did not manage to achieve great heights and ended up only on the 6th place out of 8.
Yellow Submarine - 188th team of the world ranking. Average t3 team with everyone's favourite Satanic. They also tried to qualify for ESL One Kuala Lumpur, but in the deciding match they lost to Klim Sani4.
In fact, this match is also for getting out of the group. I would like to believe in the YES card, but logic says that it is more objective to just take the victory of Natus Vincere.
I'm a prognosticator, I live only for this. I devote all my time to it. I have no other interests.
I have been doing this for a long time and I have achieved some success in it. Whether to believe me or not is up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
Prediction: Natus Vincere will win!
