Match Prediction: ViKin.gg - OG | Dota 2
The last to enter the possibly decisive battle of their careers will be the teams from the European region. A region in decline.
The region, which will receive 3 tickets to the main tournament of the year. And for the latter there will be a serious struggle.
Nigma, OG, Liquid, ViKin.gg, Tundra - only one team from all the “tops” will be able to break through to TI. And it's not a fact that it will be one of the aforementioned clubs.
However, more on that later, but now OG and ViKin.gg are on our agenda. Hot Dota starts already in the first round of qualifiers and should continue until the last one.
Will it be so, or not quite - we will find out very soon. In the meantime, let's try to predict the outcome of this fight.
Form OG
Let's start with the main dish of both a specific match and all qualifiers. Of course it's OG.
The current two-time world champion played the fool for the whole of 2021, in his usual style. But as is often the case, swimming with the flow does not notice the pitfalls.
This happened with OG, who missed two majors, played so-so regional leagues and went to play in the closed qualifiers. Recently, OG has “come to their senses”.
OG Latest Results
- Defeat to Virtus.pro with a score of 0-2
- Defeat Team Liquid 2-0
- Defeat Nigma 2-1
- Defeat Quincy Crew 2-0
- Lost to Alliance 0-2
At the last ESL One Summer 2021, OG showed signs of life. In the course of the championship, OG defeated the main competitors of the qualifiers in the person of Liquid and Nigma, which should already inspire optimism.
ViKin.gg Form
The disciplined ViKin.gg will resist the "slack" wizards from OG. Those same ViKin.gg, who offendedly left the elite division in the first season and managed to return there after the second season.
They showed discipline at ESL One Summer 2021, but this was not enough. However, before the closed qualifiers there is still time to tighten up personal performance, which is sometimes lame.
ViKin.gg Latest matches results
- Defeat Nigma 2-0
- Lose at T1 0-2
- Defeat Team Unique 2-0
- Defeat AS Monaco Gambit 2-0
- Lost to Alliance 0-2
Basically, at ESL One Summer ViKin.gg flew away from the TI members, Alliance and T1. They also outplayed Nigma, who will compete with them for the last ticket to The International.
Personal meeting history
In recent years, OG and ViKin.gg have often crossed paths in official matches. In 5 games, OG won 3 times, and ViKin.gg celebrated their triumph twice.
Match outcome
ViKin.gg are not whipping boys, so I think we will have an exciting match. I'm not really sure about the victory, but I think they will squeeze the map from OG.
Although, it is likely that OG will "cut down" their "pre-Tiaev" mod and close ViKin.gg with a score of 2-0. So far, blindly, I think 2-1.
Outcome: OG won 2-1.
OG and Vikin.gg will play against each other in the qualifiers for teams from Europe. The clubs will fight in the upper bracket.
OG is one of the favorites of these qualifiers, but it seems to me that the guys will not pass these qualifications. Huge competition for them, but you should never write them off.
OG failed two seasons of their divisions, in the first they finished 5th, and in the second, when Ana was brought back, they took 6th place. The Australian then decided to end his playing career, and instead Madara played several matches, but decided to return Sumail to carry. The last tournament for OG was ESL One Summer 2021, where they took 4th place and earned $ 25,000 after losing to Alliance with a score of 0: 2.
Vikin.gg won the lower division in the second season from Europe, then made their way to the closed qualifiers for ESL One Summer 2021, but took 2nd place there, which allowed them to get into the main stage of this championship. Then they played Pinnacle Cup 2021, where they took 3rd place, and the last tournament was in June, ESL One Summer 2021, where the Vikings took 5-6th place.
OG is played by: SumaiL, Topson, Ceb, Saksa, N0tail
For Vikin.gg: Shad, BOOM, KheZu, Aramis, Seleri
Prediction: OG vs. Vikin.gg in European qualifiers for The International 10
It's hard to believe in OG at these qualifiers, they have their main rivals: Nigma, Team Liquid. Topson said in a recent interview that this Int will be perhaps the last in his career for him, he can also try himself as an analyst, he will try to stay in the Dota 2 sphere, but not as a player anymore. After qualifying, the Finnish player will go on vacation.
OG are at the bootcamp, they brought back the psychologist with whom they won at The International, I strongly doubt whether history will repeat itself. SumaiL simply does not stack on this roster.
They shouldn't have any problems with Vikin.gg, but it will be very, very difficult. Bookmakers give odds of 1.412 on OG and 2.828 on Vikin.gg. I expect to see an easy victory for the OG, but the Vikings can squeeze out one card.
Prediction: OG will easily outplay Vikin.gg in the European qualifiers for The International 10 - odds 1.412
Viking.gg is a good team with good ambitions, the guys know how to play dota and we know perfectly well how they do it, but I think they will lose in this match. OG will most likely make it to The International and maybe even win it, but it will be shock content if they take it for the third time in a row. I like the team play of OG, individually they are also strong and I think they can close this match with a score of 2-0.
I am betting on OG in this match.
