Match Prediction: NaVi - BOOM | Dota 2

Prediction for the match between BOOM Esports and NAVI in the group stage of PGL Arlington Major 2022. I definitely overestimated BOOM Esports and underestimated NAVI.

Natus Vincere defeated Tundra Esports 2:0 yesterday and tied with Team Aster. BOOM Esports first lost to beastcoast 0:2, and then Entity 0:2. Mushi should draw some conclusions there, primarily on drafts.

NAVI is currently sharing 2nd place with Team Spirit and Entity, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Lost to Entity, wins over beastcoast and Tundra Esports and a draw with Team Aster.

BOOM Esports apparently relaxed a lot after defeating Evil Geniuses 2:0 and a draw with Tundra Epsorts, on the second day they flew off beastcoast and Entity.

I had huge expectations on Team Aster against NAVI, but the Chinese decided to give up the combination of IO + Gyrocopter and Puck, the only one that could beat them, and they did it.

In general, NAVI beat teams with weak mids, No[O]ne covered Nine and Chris Luck purely by experience, but it should be difficult against Yopaj.

I don’t expect NAVI to win here, I think there will be a draw and BOOM Esports won’t lose - they must draw some conclusions from the previous day.

• BOOM Esports win - odds 3.1
• NAVI win - odds 3.62
• Draw - odds 2.312

Prediction: BOOM Esports will not lose to NAVI - odds 1.315
