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

In last several month the collectives have met four times and “Bears” always turned out to be the strongest, but the majority of their matches were very intense. Their last meeting was held as a part of the group stage of The International 2018 and there Virtus.Pro won over OpTic Gaming by the score of 2:0.

Virtus.Pro were aproaching the championship being clear favourites and at the group stage the collective took the second position providing themselves with getting to the upper bracket. At the playoff stage it became clear that the collective had some game problems but it looked as if they didn’t want to reveal their hands, but the loss against PSG.LGD by the score 2:0 proved our guesses about the problems. In the lower bracket Ramzes666 and Co won over Mineski by the score 2:0.

Meanwhile, OpTic Gaming performed well at the second half of the rating season and the could have got one win more at China Dota2 Supermajor 2018 to get to the The International 2018 directly. At the qualifiers in North America for the most important championship the guys took the third place. PPD and Co performed at the group stage of TI in a very unconfident way, but rematches provided them with a slot in the upper bracket and at the playoff the collective lost against Team Liquid by the score of 2:0 and defeated Team Serenity.

The bookmakers think that Virtus.Pro are clear favourites of the competition and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.3, while the triumph of OpTIc Gaming is evaluated as 3. We also choose “Bears” as our favourites as we think that they have more chances to win.
