Match Prediction: V-Gaming - Team Empire | Dota 2
We will not say goodbye to Dota 2 Champions League Season 5 soon. And good.
After all, we are already accustomed to the teams, and therefore we will continue to monitor their attempts. On the second day of the second game week, we will have a Team Empire benefit show.
They will play two matches in a row and I'm afraid this will be their end. Within the framework of D2CL, of course, since they have a slot in the DPC major league, and therefore we will definitely see them there.
We are trying to figure out if Team Empire will be able to make a comeback in the tournament and improve their position after 8 days of D2CL.
Form V Gaming
Since we talked a lot about Empire above and wondered if the "Imperials" could strike back, then they are here as catch-ups. This is true.
V Gaming, although they look much weaker this season than in the past, still look more solid against the background of Empire. This is, first of all, thanks to the backbone of V Gaming, which stayed to play together, gaining only support from position 5.

- TA2000
- hAze
- destroyed
- ArrOw

The names are familiar from previous seasons, except for the point substitution of the 5th position.

As we can see, this season for the Kazakhs is still extremely difficult. But things are even worse for their rivals.

Team Empire uniform
Empire was talked about in the previous analysis of their match against HR. There isn't much to add.
They are here as an outsider. The outcome of this match is largely determined by the outcome of the match against HR.

As for me, the bet on the “youngsters” didn’t work for the “Imperials” when collecting the squad.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, in these lineups, the teams did not play with each other.
Result of the match
I repeat that the outcome of this match, in my understanding, entirely depends on the result of the match against HR. If "Empire" shows the fight against "HellRaisers", it will be able to catch on to this series.
I would bet on V Gaming as a prefair, but they are not sugar this season either. In general, I will believe in Empire and give them a discount of 1 card in this fight.
Exodus: +1.5 for Team Empire.

We can assume that Team Empire will change their roster for the upcoming DPC season, since they seem to have a slot in the first division. Regarding V-Gaming, before D2CL Season 5, they replaced the top five, instead of malady there is now antoha. It's a shame for Team Empire, they stopped a step away from victory several times, often lost 1: 2 and, as a result, ended up in the relegation zone.
Before the game with V-Gaming, Team Empire will play with HellRaisers, where, according to the idea, there will be a full-fledged best of 3-series. The timing is not very convenient for the CIS guys, V-Gaming will be more prepared, and Team Empire may be tired after HellRaisers.
Bookmakers give odds of 1.388 for V-Gaming and 2.902 for Team Empire. TB 2.5 is rated at 2.21. I do not doubt the victory of the team from Kazakhstan, there is no faith in "Empire" at all. You can believe in the confident success of V-Gaming with a score of 2: 0 on the cards - coefficient 2.2.
Prediction: V-Gaming will easily beat Team Empire with a score of 2: 0 in the group stage D2CL Season 5 - coefficient 2.2
V Gaming are trying to regain their condition and we see that, in principle, they succeed. If you remember, earlier this team was considered very promising, but then the decline began and the team began to lose. Team Empire predictably lost their meeting yesterday with a score of 2-0, this team is played from scratch, unlike V Gaming, and we all know and understand this very well. V Gaming today will take this meeting into their piggy bank thanks to the experience and teamwork in the roster, they understand each other well and do not hesitate to play aggressively. The Empire team still has a lot of work to do to achieve success in such matches.
V Gaming will win this match without too much trouble.


V-Gaming are listed as the favorites of the match in the majority of bookmakers and odds on them are equal to 1.4. Team Empire, in turn, are the outsiders of the match. Odds on their victory are about 2.8.
In the case of solidarity with the bookmaker’s position about the possible winner of the match, a bet at will be more preferable where odds 1.4 are given on V-Gaming victory. If you are confident that analysts provide a totally wrong prediction, you should risk and make a bet on Team Empire success at - the team’s victory is evaluated with the high odds 2.8.
