Match Prediction: VGJ.Thunder - Virtus.pro | Dota 2
The Bucharest Major 2017The teams met at ESL One Genting 2018 about two months ago and then the victory was achieved by Virtus.Pro. Bookmakers consider “the Bears” to be not the obvious favorite of the competition and offer odds 1.7 for their victory. VGJ.Thunder’s triumph is evaluated as 2.
VGJ.Thunder showed an excellent performance in the group stage of PGL Bucharest Major 2018, having beaten TNC Pro Team, Team Secret and Vici Gaming. In the playoff stage, the guys from the Celestial have beaten TNC Pro Team with a score 2:1 not without challenges and have not left a chance to their compatriots from Newbee. It is worth to notice that Freeze and the company have lost only one map during the competition.
Virtus.Pro lost only one match in the group stage and OpTic Gaming was their offender at that time. This match took place in the first round and “the Bears” didn’t recover from the victory at the Major tournament and overestimated their strength. This information was provided by the coach of the team - ArtStyle and it was obvious if you had a look at the game. After such a slap, the guys have not noticed Natus Vincere, LGD.FY and TNC Pro team on their way. In the playoff stage, Solo and the company have overcome OpTic Gaming and proved that they were stronger than Team Liquid.
At the moment, Virtus.Pro looks incredibly strong and VGJ.Thunder will definitely have problems. The match is unlikely to be finished on three maps but everyone can win, however, we will make a bet on the Russian team due to its experience. Let’s remind that VGJ.Thunder have reached the stage with DPC points for the first time this year.
