Match Prediction: Ooredoo Thunders - X3 | Dota 2
European Pro League Season 3European Pro League Season 3 is a series of tournaments for teams from Europe and the CIS. I am taking part in the event nine invited teams and one team that has passed the open qualification. The total prize fund of the competition is 20,000 USD.
Ooredoo Thunders is a team from Lebanon that few people will pay attention to today, because they did not participate in the DPC season and did not take prizes in cheap tournaments. But a relegation from the top DPC division and a failure at the int qualifiers, they are joined by 2 young skill players from the top division Carry.Naive - 22 years old, once top 3 rank, and Sup.Kaori 20 years old top 48 of the European ladder, as well as Offlane. meLes 22 years old top 250, which was discovered by Dendy and later played for such clubs as PC, Empire, Gambit.
And as for me, the lineup of NAIVE-, MELES, NO!OB, OMAR, KAORI has become similar to a good tier 2 lineup, but without an experienced captain, young supports 18 years old Omar and 20 years old Kaori, but skillful and playing on meta characters. And the tournament is not of the Minor or Major level.
Therefore, I consider the line-up to be very promising in the new season, so far the team plays only in this tournament and has played 2 matches, beating YNT, WB 2-0.
XZ team goes to this tournament also with two victories, beating YNT 2-1, EZ 2-0. But HZ also take part in the more expensive D2CL S13 tournament with a prize of $50,000 and played there the day before yesterday, also successfully beating HF and NBH, and therefore we have equal odds for this match.
I think that the OT team benefits from the fact that their opponent takes part in several tournaments, which means that there is more information for preparation. So, based on the above, in the first personal meeting of these teams, I prefer the OT team for a coefficient of 1.78.
