Match Prediction: OpTic Gaming - compLexity Gaming | Dota 2
The International 2018 - NA QualifiersWithin three last months, the teams met during North American qualifiers for major championships and twice compLexity Gaming appeared to be stronger than their opponents, but the organization has already changed the roster.
compLexity Gaming signed MoonMeander and 343 at the end of May 2018 so they got to the open qualifiers which resulted in success for them on the first try. The collective performed moderately during the season and this year they managed to visit Captains Draft 4.0, ESL One Genting 2018, StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 4, ESL One Katowice 2018, The Bucharest Major and EPICENTER XL, but they never could get more than the 5-6 position.
Meanwhile, OpTic Gaming formed their roster in September 2017 and had only one replacement - the player nicknamed “33” (also known as TheCoon) replaced MiSeRy. The collective could not find their game but this year they have improved and at the end of the season they have become a serious team. Within several last months, PPD and Co managed to win StarLadder ImbaTV Invitational Season 5, to get the second place at ESL One Birmingham 2018 and to get the 5-6 position at China Dota2 Supermajor, which gave them 1800 DPC points. They got invited directly to the closed qualifiers.
Bookmakers think that OpTic Gaming are questionable favourites and set the coefficient of their win of 1.7, while compLexity Gaming’s triumph is evaluated as 2.1. We lean toward the win of the guys of OpTic Gaming, as they have improved their play shape and had enough time to visit major tournaments, while 343 and Co are not likely to have achieved good teamwork in one month.
