Forecast for the match VP.Prodigy vs Imperial Pro Gaming
Bookmaker companies mark VP.Prodigy as an outsider in this match - odds - 2.256, and Imperial Pro Gaming favorites - their victory was estimated at 1.6.
Against VP.Prodigy, you should be wary of Troll Warlord/Dark Seer, and against Imperial Pro Gaming, you should watch out for Leshrac and not let this character into the draft. Both teams are one step away from relegation from the second division, IPG still have a chance to stay if they win this fight, so they have no motivation. The young ones from VP.P have obviously fallen in love, they don't do much in this tournament. From a purely psychological point of view, VP.Prodigy is much weaker; individually, they play about the same with Imperial Pro Gaming.
Prediction: Imperial Pro Gaming will win the match against VP.Prodigy - odds 1.6
I wanted to start with the words that this is a struggle for survival and all that, but no, in fact it is just a match for points, although Vp.p has a chance of being eliminated. Both teams will not make it to the first division with 100% probability.
Imperial Pro Gaming: They do not qualify for the top division, this place has already been taken, but we can already say that they will not be eliminated with almost 100% probability, the golden mean, so to speak. And if they win this match, they will definitely stay in the second division and be able to get at least $ 7,000. Have an account in group 2-3.
Vp.Prodigy: The roster is just for show, in my opinion they are just hopeless guys, they started for their health and will finish with a maximum of not relegation from the division. Although, if they all the same fly out, then it is natural to lose the organization and salary. They have a score in the group 1-4, and if they lose, they will have 1-5, respectively, and this is the lowest at b8, and there may be replays.
Outcome of the meeting
As a result, it turned out that each team needs a victory here, and they both will try, but will the banal efforts of the same Vp.p be enough? The question is rhetorical. For me, IPGs look much stronger in macro and micro play. Most bookmakers believe in the victory of Imperial Pro Gaming. The coefficient in their favor is equal to 1.5. VP.Prodigy acts as an outsider, and the odds for their victory is 2.3.
