Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Alliance | Dota 2
ESL One Summer 2021Summer ESL One is very fast approaching the climax. The semi-finals of the upper bracket will be played in a few hours.
Virtus.pro and Alliance will open the game day. A very interesting match for me.
Firstly, we will face a duel between the best CIS team and the best team in Europe. And, secondly, that the fact that others do not really need anything.
Both teams are already at The International and both teams have already secured themselves against unpredictable closed qualifiers. Now you can show a good, or not very good, game at ESL One Summer 2021.
Still, $ 175,000 is not lying on the road, and everyone wants to take the main prize. We are trying to find out which of the VP/Alliance pair will get closer to him.
Virtus.pro kits
I'll start with Virtus.pro, which at ESL One Summer look collected and serious. Such VPs may well pass for favorites.
The second reason to call them favorites is the online format of the tournament. We know very well how VP is comfortable playing online, and the only (so far) match in the upper bracket of ESL One Summer 2021 is a confirmation of this.
But the other results are not so colorful. However, it was a major, and VP were gaining experience
VP Recent Results
- Defeat Team Spirit 2-1
- Winstrike 2-0
- Lose to Nigma 0-2
- Lose from Vici Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Defeat OG 2-0
Again, the pattern is obvious - online play is very strong, on LAN, although without spectators, they play poorly. Fortunately, ESL One Summer takes place in a comfortable environment.
Alliance Form
Alliance - the team is very similar to VP. They have similar problems: during the online season, Alliance outplay opponents in the region and get lost in LAN competitions.
We saw this in Singapore and Kiev. However, while at ESL One Summer 2021 s4 and the company feel confident.
Alliance Recent Results
- 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
- Defeat Team Unique 2-0
- Defeat Team Secret 2-0
Of course, we can say that Alliance's opponents were not the strongest (Unique) or not the most motivated (Team Secret) teams, but the result is the result. Winners are not judged.
Personal meeting history
Previously, VP and Alliance managed to play more than one official match. At the same time, out of the last 5 matches, VP managed to take only 1.
The outcome of the fight
To be honest, you can expect pretty much anything from ESL One Summer 2021. The teams here can experiment and play not at their full strength.
Nevertheless, so far Alliance, that VP show a fairly disciplined Dota and want to win. In this regard, I am more impressed with VP.

Match prediction: Alliance vs Virtus.pro at ESL One Summer 2021
Alliance managed to beat Team Unique and Team Secret 2: 0, while Virtus.pro dealt with OG. It is difficult to assess VP's form yet, but at such tournaments they always play well and Alliance is quite a passable opponent for them. In all respects, in terms of individual performance, VP is much better than Alliance, and therefore I would give preference to them.
Bookmakers are also quite confident in the victory of Virtus.pro, the odds on them are 1.468, and on Alliance - 2.445.
Prediction: Virtus.pro will defeat Alliance at ESL One Summer 2021 - coefficient 1.468; at 2: 0 risk for 2.45
Alliance are now playing without a coach and have completely lost the thread of the game, what was in the DPC season and now are completely different things. In today's match it will be very difficult for them, they will play against a team that does not sleep and plays to the end. Virtus.pro understands that this is a great opportunity to prepare for The International and therefore will win match after match. I am sure, apart from the bet before the start of the match, we will be able to catch something during the match. This match will be won by Virtus.pro and I am sure of that.
I recommend betting on Virtus.pro.
