Match Prediction: Vici Gaming - AS Monaco Gambit | Dota 2
WePlay AniMajor 2021Again, returning to the topic that there are no unnecessary matches in the Major, there are actually predetermined fights in the tournament. I refer to this as the match between Vici and AS Monaco Gambit, and this is easily explained.
AS Monaco Gambit are performing at WePlay AniMajor with two substitutions of key players. Vici is one of the strongest teams in the most competitive region, playing with a full roster.
Vici is a team that does not go directly to TI10 yet, and therefore they will give their best. After all, who is interested in playing closed qualifiers in China against Elephant, EHOME and other, far from weak teams.
Vici Form
Moving on to a substantive discussion, let's start with the absolute favorite. Vici is the winner in this match, and, in my opinion, on all Wild Cards.
On the eve of the major, I have already focused on the main trump card of Vici - a pair of calipers Pyw and Dy.
This deuce does the lion's share of Vici's work, winning the line and building up the starting lead. In addition, Vici is master Specter, who has never let the Chinese team down (6-0) during the season.
Vici Recent Results
- Win over RNG with a score of 2-0
- Defeat Aster 2-0
- Defeat Elephant.4AM 2-1
- Defeat Sparking Arrow Gaming 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
In the only match lost in the last 5 games, Vici got a little bit into experiments: there we saw a not very meta bunch of Lifeastealer + Lycan and PA on map 3, which clearly did not fit into Vici's playlist. But on the first map Broodmother and Spectra didn't let go of PSG.LGD.
AS Monaco Gambit Form
In principle, everything that could be said about Gambit has already been said above. The key problem is clear and understandable - the replacement of two players ties the hands of Gambit very strongly.
As part of SoNNeiKo and Noone, the team had a chance to fight. They showed this during the Singapore Major, and the character, despite the reluctance to play, was visible during the second season.

Victories are good, but in fact they were deserved by a completely different team. Wild Card at AniMajor will be the debut for the newly minted Gambit roster.

AS Monaco Gambit and Vici Gaming have crossed paths on virtual battlegrounds more than once. In the last 5 matches, Vici have held the lead with 3 wins, 1 match ended in a draw and 1 won by AS Monaco Gambit.
Match outcome
Whatever one may say, but AS Monaco Gambit will not be able to beat Vici. The factor of replacing the captain and another key player - puts an end to the efforts of AS Monaco Gambit.
Outcome: Vici's victory.

Match prediction: ASM.GMB vs Vici Gaming in Wildcard for Weplay Animajor 2021
Both teams will have a match with iG today and therefore it is very important to win and take the cards for themselves. Almost all teams have many draws and a couple of unexpected victories will allow them to advance to the next stage. Vici Gaming continues to play the same game, rate their Faceless Void, Grimstroke to five. I didn't expect anything from ASM.GMB, but they showed really cool results. It will be important to be involved in games with Chinese teams, there it will be very, very difficult for them. Teams are wary of Gambit in the middle of Lorenof's Templar Assasin/Morphling, and you need to think something about the Snapfire/Treant Protector from 633.
To be honest, I continue to disbelieve in ASM.GMB and their results with Team Secret, Nigma and Execration are not an indicator. All were about the same level, but underestimation took place.
Bookmakers give odds of 1.704 for Vici Gaming, 3.128 for a draw and 8 for ASM.GMB. We advise you to believe in an easy victory for Vici, they really need to win to reach the group stage.
Prediction: Vici Gaming's easy victory over ASM.GMB in Wildcard by Weplay Animajor 2021 - coefficient 1.704
AS Monaco Gambit also surprised everyone yesterday in a pleasant sense of the word. The guys were able to squeeze the map from Secret and almost took the map from Team Nigma, but due to lack of experience in such tournaments, they could not do it. The Major is actually very interesting, but the matches here are still unpredictable and this is a fact. Today the CIS team will fight with the Chinese team Vici Gaming, I think that the Chinese will smash their opponent to smithereens. The first day of the tournament was introductory, the teams got used to each other and adjusted, the second day will be completely different and already read somewhere. In this match I will bet on Vici Gaming to win, and I recommend that to you too.
Vici Gaming will win this match.
