Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - Vici Gaming | Dota 2
ESL One Hamburg 2018The last time when the collectives met happened at China Dota2 Supermajor 2018 and then the collective from The Heavenly Empire won, defeating the opponents by the score of 2:0.
Vici Gaming stopped at the 9-12 place of the world championship, losing against Team Secret, after that they combined their two rosters - Vici Gaming and VGJ.Thunder into one. The collective have already showed good results at the qualifiers for The Kuala Lumpur Major, losing only at the grand final and getting placed on the third position of World Electronic Sports Games 2018 China Finals. At the current competition, the guys won over paiN Gaming and Alliance, which resulted in the first place in their group, but their opponents on the first play day were not so strong.
Meanwhile, Evil Geniuses decided not to have any changes after the third position at the world championship and they have managed to win the qualifiers for The Kuala Lumpur Major North. The collective would be a contender for getting to Three Best, but SumaiL hadn't flown with the team, as he had visa problems - СС&C will fill in for him and play for EG. At ESL One Hamburg 2018, the guys played two matches and shared the points with paiN Gaming and Team Secret.
Bookmakers think that Vici Gaming are a questionable favourite and set the coefficient of their win equal to 2.9, while the triumph of Evil Geniuses is evaluated as 3.7. We also agree with the division of powers and will lean towards the collective from China.
