Match Prediction: Alliance - Team Unique | Dota 2

This tournament will be played only for the sake of money and for the sake of preparing for The International qualifiers, the teams are really strong here and I think we will see a good level Dota. Team Unique, unfortunately, is much weaker than their today's opponent, the guys have passed qualifications, but they have absolutely nothing to do in this match. The Alliance will be stronger in team and individual terms, they made it to the Major, but they really couldn't show the Dota of the proper level there. You can try to bet live on this meeting as well, but I doubt that there will be good odds here.

In this match, I expect a light 2-0 from The Alliance.

Alliance and Unique will play in another opening match. Yes, some games will run in parallel at ESL One Summer.

Another duel in which Europe will face the CIS. We haven't seen any cross-region games since 2020, so ESL One Summer 2021 should be a breath of fresh air.

First of all, it can be a "breath" for the teams. I think all of them are tired of monotonous fights with each other for a long time, and the opportunity to play against a team from another region is already a variety.

It should be as effective as possible for clubs from the CIS. Still, the experience of playing against the best team in Europe last season should be very valuable for the same Unique, given that they will soon be playing in the closed qualifiers.

We are trying to assess the teams' chances of winning this fight. Although, it seems the outcome is predetermined here.

Alliance Form

Let's start with the clear favorite and potential winner of the match. Alliance is the best team in Europe last season.

The best, but on two majors she showed absolutely no game. On the other hand, we have earned a direct invitation to The International Alliance, and this is the most important thing.

In general, the European team looked weak in the Major. This shows the performance of Alliance in recent matches.

Alliance Recent Results

• Lost to Brame with a score of 1-2
• Beat Tundra 2-1
• Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-0
• Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
• Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1-2

Although WePlay AniMajor turned out to be a failure for Alliance, I think they made certain conclusions. And I would like to see these conclusions already at ESL One Summer 2021.

Team Unique

Moving on to the austider of the fight. They see Team Unique in this fight.

In principle, this is not surprising or unusual: according to the results of the two majors, the CIS is the weakest region, and Unique is the fourth team in the region at the end of the season. The baseline does not clearly support Unique.

Team Unique Recent Results

• Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-0
• Lose from Level Up with a score of 1-2
• Lost at ViKin.gg with a score of 0-2
• Beat PuckChamp 2-0
• Defeat from ViKin.gg with a score of 1-2

As we can see, Unique is still a TIR-2 level team that competes in local championships with variable success. Alliance, even in its current form, is still a long way off.

Personal meeting history

The last official game between Alliance and Unique took place in April 2020. Then Alliance celebrated the victory.

The outcome of the fight

ESL One Summer 2021 is a great place to practice before the start of the closed qualifiers. Unique should take full advantage of it, while Alliance can take liberties.

But even so, the Europeans look much stronger and are unlikely to want to "skip" a tournament with a prize money of $ 400,000. Therefore, in this match for Alliance.

Outcome: victory for Alliance.

Now, the majority of bookmaker companies believe in Alliance victory. Odds on them are equal to 1.2. According to bookmakers data, Team Unique are the outsider and odds on their victory amounts 4.2.

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 1.2 are given on Alliance victory. If you are confident that analysts provide a totally wrong prediction, you should risk and make a bet on Team Unique success at - the team’s victory is evaluated with the high odds 4.2.
