Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2
Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018 (DAC)The teams have met a lot of times and their last match took place at the tournament ESL One Katowice and the guys from Virtus.pro achieved victory there, having beaten their opponent with a score 2:1. Evil Geniuses were “a real kryptonite“ for the team from Russia, however, the team found all weaknesses in the game of Fear and the company after the joining of RodjER.
Virtus.Pro is one of the best teams on the modern professional scene and have already won two Major tournaments in 2018 - ESL One Katowice 2018 and The Bucharest Major. Due to these championships, the roster has earned the necessary number of DPC points to get to The International 2018 and already guaranteed a slot for themselves.
Evil Geniuses earned only 570 DPC points due to the victory at GESC: Indonesia Dota2 Minor 2018 and the 3rd-4th place at ESL One Genting 2018. Also, the roster has taken part in Captains Draft 4.0, Galaxy Battles II: Emerging Worlds, ESL One Katowice 2018 and The Bucharest Major but has been unlucky to earn DPC points there.
Bookmakers consider Virtus.Pro to be the favorite of the match and offer the odds for their victory equal 1.5 and Evil Geniuses’ triumph is evaluated as 2.7. We agree that Virtus.Pro is a favorite, however, it is not worth to underestimate EG because the match will be hosted in a bo1 format and Virtus.Pro doesn’t need DPC points anymore.
