Match Prediction: Vici Gaming - Team Serenity | Dota 2
The International 2018The teams haven’t faced earlier as Vici Gaming always received direct invites to the largest events and Team Serenity was not even able to pass open qualifiers to the same competitions.
Vici Gaming came to The International 2018 with a help of a direct invite as they had managed to place sixth on the list of the best teams in the Dota Pro Circuit rate. Over the season, the guys entered the top four on several occasions and it’s worth to notice the second place at ESL One Katowice 2018 and the third place at MDL Changsha Major 2018. In the group stage, Ori and the company frankly disappoint as they are holding the last place due to losses against VGJ.Storm and TNC Predator.
In its turn, Team Serenity was created in January this year and had a great boost in the terms of gaming in these six months - the team held the first place in the qualifiers to The International 2018 without a chance, having left behind LGD.FY. The team plays very good and has already made a draw with Team Secret and Virtus.Pro in the group stage.
Bookmakers consider Team Serenity to be a favorite of the match and we fully agree with them. It’s possible enough that Vici Gaming will reform their game and will play stronger than at the first gaming day but Serenity will have to win at least one map.
