Bet “Bookmaker Rating”:

Team Spirit vs Team Unique

“Inspired and inspired by the victory over Natus Vincere, Team Spirit simply must end the DPC season with a victory. However, it should be noted that if Spirit succeeds, one more best-of-1 series will have to be played against the winner of the AS Monaco Gambit – EXTREMUM pair to determine the lucky winner of the third ticket to the Major. Nevertheless, this circumstance does not affect this match. Spirit needs a win, and judging by the way they play after the so bad substitution, I think they shouldn’t have any problems, especially with Team Unique

Bet: ₽1.5 thousand for Team Spirit to win with card handicap (-1.5) with odds of 1.70.

AS Monaco Gambit vs. EXTREMUM

“And here is another key match for the distribution of seats. The winner will be eligible to play in the best-of-1 series for getting into the Major’s Wild Card. To be honest, who would have thought that EXTREMUM at some point in the DPC season would be just two wins away from getting to the main event of the season? Hardly anyone believed so strongly in the team of Sergei God Bragin. But it happened. Yes, of course, they approach Monaco far from being a favorite, but they can give an opponent a fight. The question is rather different – is it possible to take EXTREMUM one card from the opponents? More likely than not, but still unlikely. Let’s take a chance, believing in a dry win for Monaco

Bet: ₽900 on the victory of AS Monaco Gambit with card handicap (-1.5) with odds of 2.11.

Virtus.pro vs. Natus Vincere

“Oh, the game NAVI has recently evoked very mixed feelings – from krinzh to admiration. In the match with Team Spirit, there was still more krinzh. Yes, of course, we can assume that NAVI “did not burn the strata” and played without much motivation, since this match did not solve anything, but, to be honest, there is a feeling that NAVI’s problems are much deeper than motivation. I would like to believe that they will solve them before the Major, but for now, perhaps, we should be content with the second place in the group. Virtus.pro should win an easy victory, and NAVI in their current form is unlikely to take at least one map

Bet: ₽900 on Virtus.pro to win with card handicap (-1.5) with odds of 2.11.

Cybersport.ru bet:

Team Spirit vs Team Unique

“This match is very important for Team Spirit. To the final round the composition Ilya Yatoro Mulychuk fits with 3-3 stats and still has a chance of going to Singapore. In the last match, Spirit created a sensation by defeating Natus Vincere, who had never been defeated in the group stage before, and will certainly want to build on their success in the meeting with Team Unique.

For the roster Andrey Ghostik Kadik this opposition, on the contrary, has no tournament significance. Team Unique has already guaranteed itself a place in the first division for the next season, but at the same time has lost the mathematical chances of participating in ONE Esports Singapore Major 2023… Taking into account the standings of the teams, I can safely bet ₽1 thousand on a confident victory for Team Spirit. ”

Bet: ₽1 thousand on a 2: 0 win for Team Spirit for 1.70.

AS Monaco Gambit vs. EXTREMUM

“Despite the brightest sign“ VP vs NAVI ”, the match between AS Monaco Gambit and EXTREMUM is also of the greatest tournament significance. Both rosters are approaching the decisive game with 3-3 statistics, and it is in their match that it will be decided who will miss the ONE Esports Singapore Major for sure.

Both teams finished their last matches in the group stage with victories with a score of 2: 0, therefore, the teams are in good shape. Surely a match of such importance will be held in a double-edged struggle, so we bet that all three cards will be played. ”

Bet: ₽1 thousand on total over 2.5 for 2.20

Virtus.pro vs. Natus Vincere

“The derby that all Dota 2 fans from the CIS have been waiting for will finally take place on February 26th. In this match, not only the fate of the title of the best CIS team will be decided, but also how VP and NAVI will have to start their journey to the ONE Esports Singapore Major. Despite the fact that the Ukrainian team has one defeat, it will come to naught if it succeeds in the match with opponents from the Russian club, because it is according to the statistics of head-to-head matches that will decide who will lead the standings of the first division of Dota Pro Circuit 2023 for the CIS and start performance at a major from the playoff stage.

Previous meetings of these teams were distinguished by increased “validity”, and the players of both teams noted that “chaos” was taking place in their head-to-head matches. Despite this, now the statistics are on the side of Virtus.pro: the last match between VP and NAVI on EPIC League Season 2 Division 1 took exactly the composition Vitaly Save-Melnik, and in the current competition, the Russian roster is generally unbeaten, unlike its future rival. In this match, I suggest taking a little risk and betting on a convincing victory for Virtus.pro. “

Bet: ₽1,000 on Virtus.pro to win with a score of 2: 0 in 2.11.
