Прогноз на матч: OpTic Gaming - VGJ.Storm | Dota 2
The International 2018The teams faced for the last time in a showmatch called “VGJ.Storm Meet & Greet and Showmatch” and then, the guys from OpTic Gaming appeared to be stronger, however, it’s not worth to consider this match as it was played in the Ability Draft mode.
The guys from VGJ.Storm seem to be a strong enough team and the roster managed to prevail in the North American qualifiers to The International 2018 and to hold the third place at DOTA Summit 9 over the last month. Resolut1on and the company have proved to be the best team in North America for a number of times, however, the guys from Evil Geniuses held this place at the last championship. The guys have already placed first in the group stage of The International and have achieved victories over Vici Gaming and Team Secret. The team hasn’t lost a map yet.
OpTic Gaming was one step from a direct invite to The International, however, managed to earn it due to the third place in the closed regional qualifiers. The roster took part in DOTA Summit 9 after the qualifiers to the main championship of the year but was not able to place higher than 5th-6th. The team holds a penultimate place in its group at The International 2018 due to a loss from Virtus.Pro.
Bookmakers consider OpTic Gaming to be a favorite of the match, however, we don’t agree with them as Resolut1on and the company held higher places in the qualifiers to the world championship and at DOTA Summit 9. If not considering the showmatch, VGJ.Storm has three victories in the last four matches against PPD’s team.
