Match Prediction: VP.Prodigy - Team Empire | Dota 2
EPIC League Season 3 Division 2In the first round of the Upper Bracket of the Second Division at EPIC League Season 3, VP.Prodigy and Team Empire will face off. It would seem that the match can become interesting, but in reality, intrigue should not be expected.
Team Empire uniform
We begin the analysis of the match with the form of the nominal favorites of the meeting - Team Empire.
With the beginning of 2021, Empire relied on a young roster. Gathering together potential and strong performers, the club's management began to forge a real team out of them.
However, although the top five have not shown any particular results so far, it is not worth writing off Empire from the account in the CIS regions. Yes, the Imperials were relegated from the first division of the DPC league and will try their hand at the second league next season.
However, life does not end there, as they say. However, EMPIRE's statistics are not very rosy.
Team Empire last 5 matches
- Lose to Hellbear Smashers 1-2
- Win the match against Extremum, 2-1
- Win 2-1 against PuckChamp
- Defeat from Dota Team with a score of 1-2
- Lost to High Coast Esports 0-2
The entire last selection is taken from the Epic League, and therefore quite indicative. However, the same "loud" statistics and the opponents Empire, VP.Prodigy.
VP.Prodigy Form
After Nightfall, save and company moved to VP's base, it seemed that the next youth roster would repeat the success of the previous one. However, this did not happen.
VP's new youth team is showing just terrible results. Not only did the team ingloriously flew out of the second division of the CIS league, but VP.P's affairs are disgusting as part of the EPIC League Season 3, as evidenced by the latest team statistics.
VP.Prodigy last 5 matches

- Loss from Gambit-2 with a score of 1-2
- Lost at ViKin.gg with a score of 0-2
- Defeat from Dota Team with a score of 1-2
- Lose to High Coast Esports 2-0
One win in DPC 2021: Season 1 - CIS Lower Division. Not a single victory at the EPIC League Season 3 Group Stage and, as a result, the lower division.
Match outcome
I don't know what needs to happen for VP.Prodigy to beat Empire. It seems that the pressure on the youth team is extremely high, and therefore I do not expect anything from VP.P.
However, it would be great to finally see the victory of the second squad of bears, however, this will not happen in the match against Empire.
Outcome: victory for Empire.
At first glance, everything may seem pretty obvious, and that the Imperials are the favorites here, and the more experienced players who played in the first division, but everything is not as simple as it seems.
The fact is that Vp.p now is not the same lineup of young virtuosi who have departed from the second CIS DPC division. Now these are other players who are in no way inferior to the Imperials in terms of the game. Judging by the registration page, Arslan xannii Shadjanov and Danil Illusion Grzhevka have officially joined VP.Prodigy. Previously, they, together with Mikhail Misha Agatov, played for the team in the group stage of this tournament. In general, it is promising.
The outcome of the meeting.
And now, if we compare the teams by line-up, by name, then the virtus do not seem to be such underdogs, although according to the forecasts of the leading bookmakers, Team Empire is the favorite of the match with an average odds of 1.55. Accordingly, the bookmakers see VP.Prodigy as an outsider of the match with a win odds of about 2.4. I see this as an opportunity to make money on two rates at once. First, I think the total will be broken. Secondly, I think to risk the victory of the bears, because the odds on them are too high, I think, and since it is too high, you have to take it.
Virtus.Pro Prodigy wins. Total on cards over 2.5 - YES
