Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Blacklist International | Dota 2
Elite League: Swiss StageThe most important game for both teams, Virtus.pro will play against Blacklist International to advance to the next stage of the Round-Robin Elite League. Yesterday Blacklist lost to Tundra Esports with a score of 1-2, and Virtus.pro had no trouble with nouns.
Blacklist International - the team yesterday imposed the fight against Tundra Esports only on one map, they have a strategy around Faceless Void on kerry, Windranger/Leshrac in mid, Mars/Centaur in difficult and the backports Mirana/Disraptor/Crystal Maiden. Poor pool of heroes, only Abed plays in this team, the rest are so-so.
Blacklist roster: Palos, Abed, Gabbi, TIMS, Mjz.
Virtus.pro - yesterday surprised me by being able to close nouns with a score of 2:0, I expected that they will definitely give 1 rink. The first map was very close for my prediction to work, but it didn't. VPs are playing well, found optimal drafts, Kiritych and squad1x are playing steady. They have Techies flexing between the five and four. On an interesting note, Noticed showed Broodmother and it will be a force to be reckoned with in important matches, namely today.
Virtus.pro lineup: Kiritych, squad1x, Noticed, sayuw, Fng.

Prediction for the match between Virtus.pro and Blacklist International:
The bookmakers believe that the game is practically 50/50 here. Blacklist is very dependent on their morale, VP on the other hand had an emotional swing with nouns yesterday and they performed decently. Abed has had a good start to the game, but he will be missed. In terms of performers, everything is very even, VP - Kiritych is more solid than Palos for sure, the main thing is not to miss Arc Warden or Naga Siren, and Blacklist - Gabbi plays better than Noticed. In this match I'm in favour of TB 2.5 on cards for 1.85, and if I choose the winner, then Virtus.pro.
Prediction: Virtus.pro will beat Blacklist International for odds of 1.75
