Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - OpTic Gaming | Dota 2

The teams faced each other in the group stage and then OpTic Gaming could make a sensation, having beaten the reigning world champions by ESL One Katowice 2018. Bookmakers consider Virtus.Pro to be an obvious favorite of the confrontation, offering odds 1.2 for their victory and OpTic’s triumph is evaluated as 3.65.

Virtus.Pro lost only one match during the group stage and OpTic Gaming was their offender. The match happened in the first round and “the Bears” had not recovered from the victory at the Major tournament and overestimated their strength. This information was given by the team’s coach - ArtStyle and it was obvious when you were looking the game. After such punch, the guys have not noticed Natus Vincere, LGD.FY and TNC Pro Team on their way.

OpTic Gaming made respect them after the group stage as they could beat not the weakest opponents in the face of Virtus.Pro, OG and compLexity, however, were defeated by TNC Pro Team and Team Secret. At the moment, PPD and the company look the worst team in the playoff stage and is unlikely to make something to beat Virtus.Pro.

We fully stand in solidarity with bookmakers’ opinion and think that such team as Virtus.Pro will not have to notice OpTic Gaming on its way, however, it’s important for the guys from Russia to remember the underestimation of the opponent in the group stage and to focus on maximum.
