Bookmaker Rating bet on the first day of the playoffs:
Team Spirit vs Team Empire
Empire in the playoffs. If someone had said this before the start of the tournament, then I would have thought that the person is not quite all right with the perception of reality, with all due respect to Team Empire. Nevertheless, albeit with a creak and in terms of additional indicators, Empire managed to outstrip Team Liquid and take fourth place in the group.
As for Team Spirit, the “dragons” showed not the most expressive game in the group, losing to Tundra Esports and Virtus.pro, however, the remaining three meetings were won, and convincingly and easily, so it’s too early to talk about a lack of motivation or a loss of form. Let’s be honest, in the match with VP, the “dragons” experimented, and unsuccessfully, and in the match with Tundra everything can be blamed on tilt. Well, the opponent, let’s face it, is not the most convenient.
Despite not being the best in the group, Spirit is still head and shoulders above Empire. And if Miposhka and the company will show at least 75% of what they can, then they should easily close this match with a score of 2: 0. We will bet on this.
Bid: ₽1,500 for Team Spirit to win with an accurate score of 2: 0 with odds of 2.11.
Virtus.pro vs. PSG.LGD
Perhaps, from the point of view of forecasts, the first day of the playoffs can really be considered a gift – in the upper bracket, the meeting is also from the category of those, the outcome of which is known even “before the whistle”. Virtus.pro turned out to be the only team at the group stage that did not give up a single map. As for PSG.LGD, although the team reached the playoffs with three victories, it was not without problems. Firstly, the team clearly sags in the central corridor with the presence there Xiao8and secondly, in general, the Chinese have not yet shown their best Dota. It is possible, of course, that PSG.LGD will manage to cling to one card in this confrontation, but up to this point the “bears” looked literally unshakable. We will count on the fact that the next opponents will not be able to shake them either. We bet on 2: 0 in favor of VP.
Bid: ₽1,500 for Virtus.pro to win with 2: 0 accurate score with 2.70 odds.
RuHub bet on the first day of the playoffs:
Team Empire vs Team Spirit
Although Team Spirit is the favorite here, it seems that the guys have not yet woken up and have not fully felt the patch. But all the same, my opinion is that in the playoffs they will already come to some common denominator in their drafts.
About Team Empire. I liked the guys very much, although they lost in the first meeting to Alliance with a score of 0: 2. However, in the remaining matches, they were able to adjust very well to the opponents after the first lost maps – they squeezed the cards from both PSG.LGD and beastcoast, which allowed them to catch on to the playoffs and kick Liquid out of the tournament.
Bid: ₽500 for Team Spirit to win with odds of 1.33.
PSG.LGD vs. Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro is performing very well now. The team’s drafts are very balanced, powerful and versatile, all this is supported by a good game form. The main thing is not to underestimate your opponent in the person of PSG.LGD.
PSG.LGD! We know how difficult it is for Chinese teams to enter the patch, but when they do, it becomes difficult for everyone to play against them. Although I am sure that this tournament is a huge training foothold before The International 10, therefore, even if PSG.LGD flies off VP without a chance, it will be good reconnaissance for her.
Bid: ₽1,000 for Virtus.pro to win with odds of 1.55.
Preliminary results:
After the group stage, RuHub bypasses the “Rating of Bookmakers”, however, the RB team begins to catch up with the opponent thanks to successful bets.
