Virtus.pro Will win

We are moving to Eastern Europe with its top division. Here, as in most regions, an additional round of matches has been scheduled.

To be more precise, one match, a fight for third place. Not that it really matters, but there is still a difference in DPC points, and why not take the extra 60 points for yourself?

This is what HR will occupy with Virtus.pro, who will compete for the 3rd place in the decisive Bo3 match. Let's see what happens.

Form Virtus.pro

Virtus.pro will be the nominal favorite in this match. The bookmaker evaluates the chance of the “bears” to win with odds within 1.4.

To agree with this or not is a rhetorical question. In the case of the CIS and specifically with these two teams, it is difficult to determine a potential winner.

After The International 10, the composition of the bears has changed dramatically. Moreover, in the course of the season itself, the team replaced illias, taking in his place the young and inexperienced Xakoda, who, however, is still showing himself well.

2-0 victory over ex-Team Unique
Lost to PuckChamp 1-2
2-0 victory over Team Empire
2-0 victory over NaVi
Lost to Team Spirit 0-2

Although Spirit turned out to be head and shoulders above their opponents in the decisive match, the “bears” showed their teeth. Here we add the desire of the bears to take revenge on HR for the defeat in the regular season.

Heroes Virtus.pro

Most picked Virtus.pro heroes in patch 7.30: Phoenix (10 matches, 80% win rate), Lion (9 matches, 66% win rate), Winter Wyvern (9 matches, 55% win rate).

Most successful Virtus.pro heroes: Shadow Demon (4 matches, 100% win rate), Lycan (3 matches, 100% win rate), Bloodseeker (3 matches, 100% win rate).

HR form

HR will play as a nominal outsider in this match. As for me, the gap between the teams is not so big as to give HR odds of around 2.4 to win.

However, the bookmakers know better, and yet HR got tired at the end of the season, while VP, on the contrary, began to gain. HR, despite the "youth of the line-up", do not have the same experience as gpk- and DM in the VP line-up.

Of course, HR evokes sympathy, but the feeling that HellRaisers have burned out does not leave. This was clearly seen in the last episode.

HR latest match results

Beat AS Monaco Gambit 2-0
2-1 victory over NaVi
Lost to PuckChamp 0-2
Lost to Team Spirit 0-2
Lost to Team Empire 1-2

HR could, and it seemed, should have taken 3rd place, but they lost to Empire and got into an awkward situation. This dealt a huge blow to the team, especially morally.

Heroes HR

Most picked heroes of HellRaisers in patch 7.30: Disruptor (9 matches, 44% wins), Mars (8 matches, 50% wins), Invoker (7 matches, 57% wins).

The most successful heroes of HellRaisers in patch 7.30: Keeper of the Light (5 matches, 100% wins), Templar Assassin (3 matches, 100% wins), Specter (3 matches, 100% wins).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, HR and Virtus.pro played each other during the regular season. Then HellRaisers celebrated the victory with a score of 2-1.

Match result

After HR's last series with Empire, faith in their success faded. Young performers are exhausted, and VP, despite the loss from Spirit, seem to be cheerful.

Outcome: VP win.

HellRaisers Will win

In these replays, it will be decided who will take third place and who will remain in fourth place. I don't understand why Virtus.Pro are considered favorites in this meeting, the guys in the DPC don't feel too confident and the young player in the first position is clearly sagging. Yes, at the expense of the team, he has a good overall value in the game, but I did not see any incredible actions from this young man. By odds, Virtus.Pro is the favorite, but I think it's fifty-fifty in terms of chances for the teams today.

HellRaisers played their last matches horribly, three defeats in a row and a strange execution, but it happened because they felt overconfident. We know very well how HellRaisers can play with such teams, they have already beaten Virtus.Pro with a score of 2-1. Today it is important for them to gather their thoughts, the match is really important and they understand this very well, the lineup is good and at the beginning of the season the DPC of the top division played very well, today they just need to gather their thoughts and beat their opponent. You can bet live on this match, the odds will be 100%, the more logical it is to assess the possibility of the teams after the character selection stage, but I will give preference to the HellRaisers team before the start of the match.

HellRaisers will win this match.
