Bet “Bookmaker Rating”:
Virtus.pro – Team Unique
“Virtus.pro is currently the only team that did not give a single map to their opponents during the first two weeks of the DPC season, and, in principle, the“ bears ”now look like the first force in the CIS region. Yes, of course, no one is immune from misfires, but the guys are extremely motivated and are unlikely to give themselves slack until the moment when they get a direct ticket to the Major. As for Team Unique, the ex-NoPangolier players suffered two defeats in the first two weeks and did not look like a team that could really compete for high places at the end of the season. In fact, Unique is the top contender to be relegated to the second division in the first season. I don’t think they will be able to surprise them in the match with VP, so I look forward to two easy victories from VP ”.
Stake: ₽1,000 on Virtus.pro to win with 2: 0 accurate score with odds of 1.25
Live to Win – Team Empire
“Empire, with all the strangeness of their strategies and skepticism on my part before the second week of the tournament, managed to surprise. Yes, of course, in many ways the match with Spirit can be called the defeat of the ex-Yellow Submarine, but Empire has recently looked like a team capable of giving battle to the opponent. Yes, of course, they lost the first match to Virtus.pro with absolutely no idea, but few teams are capable of giving at least some kind of battle to the “bears” now.
As for Live to Win, the team showed themselves excellently in the match against NoTechies. In general, the idea is felt in the LtW game, and the guys are motivated – they are about to become a team of the organization, and not just a mix. I do not think that Empire will be able to repeat the feat of the match with Spirit and win, but they may well catch on to one map. “
Bet: ₽500 on Team Empire to win with card handicap (+1.5) with odds of 2.35.
Virtus.pro – EXTREMUM
“Let’s be honest – EXTREMUM is currently surpassing all expectations. Before the start of the season, no one expected adequate results from them, and the defeat from Spirit (unprincipled) and not the best game with Team Unique indicated that EXTREMUM would hardly be able to keep even their registration in the elite division. However, in a match with NAVI, Sergey God Bragin and company showed that there is still gunpowder in their flasks. However, this fuse is unlikely to be enough for the confrontation with Virtus.pro, the “bears” look too perfect so far. I look forward to an easy 2: 0 from VP. “
Bet: ₽500 on Virtus.pro to win with an exact score of 2: 0 with odds of 1.30.
Natus Vincere – Team Empire
“And one more test for the“ Empire ”. Two hardest matches in two days – it is worth remembering this when forecasting this match. Yes, NAVI has already shown that at the moment they are incapable of playing undeniably. The winners, as you know, are not judged, but in the meeting with EXTREMUM, the first map of “Born to Win” did not go according to their scenario, although it cannot be said that EXTREMUM is much stronger than the “Imperials”. I don’t think Empire will be able to win the meeting, but they can catch one map. Perhaps it is worth taking a risk here and assuming that Empire will be able to take one card, although it is worth noting that this is a big risk. “
Bet: ₽500 on Empire victory with handicap on cards (+1.5) with odds of 3.30.
Team Spirit – Live to Win
“And, perhaps, the most difficult match of the third week to predict. Just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed that Spirit could seriously claim not only a ticket to a Major, but also a place in the top 2 at the end of the first season. However, losses to Empire and NoTechies definitely negatively affected Spirit’s prospects. Defeats cannot be allowed anymore, but the first crisis is brewing in the team. If the young players are able to collect their thoughts, then they can beat LtW. A lot in this match will depend on the morale of the Spirit players. But, nevertheless, we believe in the former “submarine”. “
Bet: ₽500 on Team Spirit winning the match with odds of 2.15.
Cybersport.ru bet:
Virtus.pro – Team Unique
“It would be rather strange to bet not on VP in this meeting. The problem is that there is little point in “pouring” on VP – the coefficient for her victory is only 1.04. Therefore, here we will have to invent something – both for us and Team Unique, in order to at least something to oppose the favorite. The easiest way for more modest teams in such cases is to play at a fast pace and impose early fights. Let’s take the risk and bet that the first blood in this match will be shed by the Vanskor team – VP just doesn’t really like these meetings on the runes. “
Bet: ₽500 on Team Unique shedding first blood on the first map in 2.11.
Live to Win – Empire
“In another forecast from this material, I already bet that Team Empire will be able to” squeeze “the map from Natus Vincere, so it would be logical to do the same – after all, Live to Win is still objectively weaker than NAVI (although none of the does not appear). At the same time, LtW, of course, may well close the match for two maps – the team is not in a position to take risks now. And we ourselves, on the contrary, while we can afford it! “
Bet: ₽300 on card total (over 2.5) for 2.55.
Virtus.pro – EXTREMUM
“EXTREMUM is showing good progress in this tournament, and in the previous match almost beat NAVI. Is this enough to take risks and bet on her in a meeting with VP? Hardly. But it’s easy to see that most of the team’s matches last long enough – only the decisive map against NAVI ended in less than half an hour. In this regard, our bet on the match – the first map will last more than 32 minutes in 1.87 ”.
Bet: ₽500 on the first card lasting more than 32 minutes in 1.87.
NAVI – Team Empire
“In the first round of predictions, our colleagues from RB wondered what Team Empire was doing in the first division of the DPC. Now we can already answer – he is holding up well and even beats Team Spirit. NAVI, although they are in first place with three victories, faced serious resistance from EXTREMUM in the last match. It is clear that there can be no talk of any crises in the team, but it is quite possible that NAVI is slipshod to matches with obvious outsiders – and therefore I am ready to take a risk and bet that the match will last three maps. “
Bet: ₽200 on total cards over 2.5 for 4.00
Team Spirit – Live to Win
“The most interesting match of the game week will take place between the teams Ghostik and SoNNeikO – at least in terms of odds. The favorite here, of course, is quite clear – Live to Win showed excellent results in December and, it seems, is about to get absolutely deserved contracts with some club. However, before the DPC started, Spirit was also in good shape and even won the BTS Pro Series S4, beating not only ViKin.GG in the final with a dry score, but the same LtW.
In the regional league, the results were not so rosy – after a good start Spirit (for many – sensationally) lost first to Team Empire, and then to NoTechies. And now the team can no longer afford to give points to opponents so easily. Still, I will not risk betting on her victory, but I have no doubt that the struggle will be intense. Therefore, the bet here will be on the total of cards over 2.5 for 1.9 “.
Bet: ₽500 on total cards over 2.5 for 1.9.
