Match Prediction: Newbee - Vega Squadron | Dota 2

The teams have faced only once - the match was played in the group stage of The Bucharest Major 2018 and there, the victory was achieved with a score 1:0 by the guys from Newbee.

Newbee has some kind of gaming decline in the recent time and they demonstrate this, having held the 9th-10th place at Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018 and EPICENTER XL. In general, the guys managed to earn 2220 DPC points in the season, which allowed them to stop on the 6th place in the rate. In 2018, the roster won ESL One Genting 2018, stopped on the 3rd-4th place at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 4, The Bucharest Major and DreamLeague Season 9. At the championship, the roster lost to PSG.LGD and finished a match against TNC Pro Team with a draw.

Vega Squadron is an average team from CIS and gets to the Major tournaments due to Natus Vincere’s bad shape mostly. The only guys’ achievement is the 3rd-4th place at StarLadder ImbaTV Invitational Season 5. Also, the team made it to GESC: Thailand Dota2 Minor, however, missed the championship due to visa issues. At MDL, Zayac and the company was not able to beat PSG.LGD and VGJ.Storm.

Bookmakers consider Newbee to be a controversial favorite of the team and offer odds in the sum of 1.8 for their victory and the CIS team’s triumph is evaluated as 2.3. We think that Newbee is much stronger and have to win, however, we don’t exclude the possibility of a draw.
