Match Prediction: Team Spirit - Royal Never Give Up | Dota 2

First of all, it’s worth to notice that changes have recently been made on the roster of Team Spirit and not Ghostik but nongrata has been playing in the team since December 24. The last one, by the way, is on a trial period, which can reflect on his performance both positive and negative. The last official match was played 26 days ago and it means that the break made by the team was pretty long.

Paying attention to Royal Never Give Up, it can be noticed that they have a serious advantage over their opponents. First of all, RNG played an official match against a pretty strong opponent in the face of Vici Gaming a week ago. Despite they lost, the fact of the match in the new year reflects their readiness and better preparation for the match. The Chinese team is more skilled and plays better than Team Spirit. Despite RNG will be playing on “the opponent’s battlefield”, we will prefer Royal Never Give Up. Teams from CIS stand out for losing heart in the moments when their Asian opponents will prefer playing tougher.

Odds on the victory of RNG are equal to 1.23 and we think that it’s not worth the risk. It’s better to make a bet on the maps handicap -1.5 in the favor of the Chinese. In this case, odds will amount 1.82, which is way better. Spirit hasn’t played an official match with the updated roster and the players should start their path at the championship with a loss. They obviously might surprise us but the possibility of this event is pretty low.
