Match forecast: Team Empire vs HellRaisers in the CIS qualifier for The International 10
Team Empire in most of their games bring the game to the third map, HellRaisers played with quite strong teams of these qualifiers, with Team Spirit they should have easily covered the third map, but the Cooman factor and his very unstable game worked.
Obviously there will be a fight for Luna, Doom, Dragon Knight, from HellRaisers you should be afraid: Medusa, Elder Titan, Techies, Storm Spirit, Magnus. Regarding Team Empire, they have a rather narrow pool of heroes: they often play with Specter, Luna, five: Enchantress, in hard: Dragon Knight/Timbersaw. In the mid lane they have a good Invoker player, but with PuckChamp they were building a draft around Lina.
Bookmakers give odds 1.482 for HellRaisers, 2.584 for Team Empire. Wonderful quotes at 2: 0 from HR - 2.416. I can't believe in the Empire at all, although they play these qualifiers very cool. Purely due to the pool of heroes, HellRaisers should easily deal with the Empire, but there is no chance with Team Spirit.
Prediction: HellRaisers will easily beat Team Empire with a score of 2: 0 in the CIS qualifier for The International 10 - coefficient 2.416
