Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - Vici Gaming | Dota 2

This battle is definitely a match of the day, but there is no need to look at their recent meeting as the North American collective have changed their roster and positions drastically.

Evil Geniuses did not impress with their recent results - at the last three Major tournament Arteezy could not reach more than the fifth place and did not receive any DPC points. Such results were not acceptable for the team which was considered to be one of the best in the world so the management made a decision to change their roster. Tal «Fly» Aizik and Gustav «s4» Magnusson replaced Rasmus «MISERY» Filipsen and Clinton «Fear» Loomis. China Dota2 Supermajor 2018 will be the first tournament of the renewed collective so we are not going to see their perfect performance.

At the moment Vici Gaming hold the sixth place in the world rating having 2835 points. According to the results of this tournament, Ori and Co will be able to provide themselves with a trip to The International 2018, and in case of failure, there is a possibility of their leaving of the list of eight best teams, so their motivation must be extremely high. Within several last months, Vici Gaming managed to get the third place at MDL Changsha Major and to win Dota2 Professional League Season 5 (2018 S1) - Top. The team also participated in The Bucharest Major, Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018 and ESL One Birmingham 2018, but they had no chance to get rating points.

Bookmakers think that Vici Gaming are a questionable favourite and set the coefficient of their win of 1.7. The win of Evil Geniuses is evaluated as 2.0. We lean toward the guys from the Heavenly Empire as they play together for a long time and they need to be seen among four best teams to get to The International 2018 directly.
