Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Vici Gaming | Dota 2

The teams faced for the last time at The International about two months ago and then, the guys from Vici Gaming were stronger, who beat “the Bears” with a score 2:0 in a bo2 match.

Virtus.Pro is in a good shape and the guys have already won the qualifiers to The Kuala Lumpur Major and the online championship Maincast Autumn Brawl in this rating season. At ESL One Hamburg 2018, the team placed second in its group, having lost to Team Aster with a score 2:0, and Team Secret were defeated by 9pasha and the company in the playoffs.

In its turn, Vici Gaming made a few replacements on the main roster after the World Championship and held the second place at the qualifiers to The Kuala Lumpur Major and the third place at World Electronic Sports Games 2018 China Finals after the reshuffles, so it was difficult to evaluate their power but the guys showed at ESL One Hamburg that they play well enough and will be on the top in this rating season. In the group stage, the team made a draw with Evil Geniuses and team Secret and didn’t know what means to lose and the team from the Celestial appeared stronger than Team Asters in the playoffs.

Bookmakers consider Virtus.Pro to be a favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.55, while Vici Gaming’s triumph is equal to 2.3. We fully agree with such distribution of strength by bookmakers and will also prefer the Russian roster.
