Match Prediction: OpTic Gaming - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2
China Dota2 SuperMajorThe last time when the collectives met happened approximately two months ago and then the players from OpTic Gaming were celebrating the victory, but nevertheless, we should not pay attention to this result as Evil Geniuses have already changed their roster.
OpTic Gaming are one of the strongest collectives in North America and they fight for the first place in their region only against VGJ.Storm. Within last two months, the team won StarLadder ImbaTV Invitational Season 5 and took the second place at ESL One Birmingham 2018. As for the current tournament, the collective got the second place in their group winning over VGJ.Thunder twice and losing against PSG. LGD Gaming. The roster did not manage to defeat Team Secret at the playoff which became the reason of their participation in the lower bracket.
Evil Geniuses performed in a very bad way within several months, therefore they changed their roster drastically - Fly and S4 replaced Fear and MISERY. The roster had no time to achieve good teamwork, so now they look quite unstable. The collective got the last place in the group giving way to TNC Pro Team and Vici Gaming. S4 and Co defeated Team Spirit by the score 2:1 during the playoff stage miraculously.
Bookmakers think that OpTic Gaming are the favourites of the battle and set the coefficient of the win equal to 1.6, while the triumph of Evil Geniuses is evaluated as 2.3. We also think that the PPD’s team are more likely to win thanks to their teamwork and good play shape demonstrated by them for a couple of months.
