Match Prediction: RNG - Aster.Aries | Dota 2

NikitkaFLZ

2:0 (RNG)

Prediction for the fight between Royal Never Give Up and Aster.Aries within the upper bracket of qualification for The International 11 (China). RNG managed to defeat Ybb Gaming with a score of 2:0, while Aster.Aries beat Vici Gaming with a score of 2:0.

In general, in China, most matches end with a score of 2:0, I think that there may be quite an exception here and there will be all 3 maps. We had enough time to prepare for each other.

RNG had a confident series, but Aster.Aries, although they defeated Vici Gaming 2:0, had to comeback on one map and there was a clear gift from Vici.

- Victory in the match with Dandelion Esport Club with a score of 2:1
- Winning the match with Gorilla with a score of 2:1
- Lost in a match with Saiyan with a score of 0:2

The victory of Aster.Aries over Vici Gaming with a score of 2:0 was definitely a surprise, but Royal Never Give Up dealt with Ybb Gaming (ex-Dandelion Esport Club) without any problems.

The teams had 2 days to prepare, it is very interesting to see what they have prepared. The prematch is definitely for RNG, if they take the first one, then there shouldn’t be any special problems on the second one. The main question is whether Chen will be banned.

Royal Never Give Up win - odds 1.175
Aster.Aries win - odds 5.2
Overtime 2.5 on cards - odds 2.6
TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.46

Very interesting quotes, I definitely have no doubts that Royal Never Give Up will win, but China shows that teams should not be underestimated. For example, because of 5.2 on Aster.Aries, you can believe in 1 card from Aster.Aries for 2.23. At 2:0 from RNG - odds are 1.61, for me this is the most logical bet, but it's better to look at LIVE, after the drafts and, possibly, change to Aster.Aries if Somnus does not blow the center.
