Прогноз на матч: NoTechies - Live to Win | Dota 2
ESL One. DPC 2021: Season 1 - CIS Upper DivisionAnother interesting duel between Live to Win and NoTechies will take place in the upper division of ESL One CIS DPC 2021.
LTW received a direct invite, and their last official was still on the old patch. It is difficult to prepare for them, but also for NoTechies, because they only have two officials.
It is not completely clear whether any of the teams are at the bootcamp, NoTechies, most likely, definitely not, but Live to Win is in question.
NoTechies played successfully with Storm Spirit, on the carry they were surprised by the Bristleback pick and the Crystallize signature - Bristleback. They actively rate Tidehunter in hard, and also take the meta Keeper of the Light and Nyx Assasin.
Individually, in principle, the teams are very equal, I would have believed in NoTechies even more, but the difference is only in how long the guys have been playing and how long they have been together. LtW showed a very stable game, but their opponents allowed them to do it. A very interesting game awaits us - you can't miss this.
Forecast for the match Live to Win vs NoTechies:
As it was said above, the teams in the opinion of the bookmakers are the same, the individual is similar, for Live to Win they give a coefficient of 1.88, and for NoTechies - 1.96. The Techis have an experienced leader - Alexey Solo Berezin, in whom his teammates believe, LtW has SoNNeikO, but there is an assumption that everyone is doing their bit there and a lot of controversy arises. It will be very interesting to watch the drafts of both teams. I advise you to bet on TB 2.5 (odds - 1.93), NoTechies win (odds - 1.96), with the risk of NoTechies winning with an accurate score of 2: 1 (odds - 3.64).
Prediction: NoTechies will win the match against Live to Win (odds 1.96), risking the exact score 2: 1 (odds 3.64)
In fact, both teams formed around and at the expense of strong captains. LTW has SoNNeiKo, NoTechies has Solo. The teams have the following weaknesses:
LTW: FN is in the mid position. Undoubtedly, Rostislav is a strong player who is always in the top of the rating, but his age (26 years) and character (toxic) do not affect the final results in the best way. I would also refer to Dream as a carry position as a weakness. I don’t want to say that he is a weak player, but he ended up with a residual path in this roster, due to the fact that ILTW was not allowed to play due to VP's contract. This means that the team once again needs to adjust to it, and Akbar needs to rebuild his original strategies and even revise the pick pools.
NoTechies: The inexperience of the players on a really strong scene. Solo has assembled a young and promising line-up, and is trying to neutralize their lack of experience with his store of knowledge, but as we know, you can't keep track of everything.
Conclusion:
In fact, the conclusion can be made quite simple, it will not be a battle of teams as squads, it will be a battle of experience and wits between Soneiko and Solo. Who picks whom and puts in a disadvantageous position, who better directs his team, this will determine the outcome of the meeting.
The fact that Alexei assembled a completely new roster of young people and led them to the first division suggests that this grandfather is ready to win, and even if he will never be the best in the mechanical plan of the game, then in terms of tactics he will give Akbar and him a light team.
It's hard to say about the picks, but I'm sure that throughout the entire series, there will be two respect bans. Solo will ban Nature's Prophet for SoNNeiKo, and get banned from Shadow Demon in return.
For me, the winner of this meeting will be NoTechies.
The most interesting match in terms of odds today, the two teams are considered approximately equal, but there are reasons why I prefer one of the teams. I believe that Live to Win is played by players who lose in terms of skill and experience to the NoTechies team. Live to Win last played a month ago and it is logical that these guys are clearly not in good shape now, besides, this team is played by a guy like dream, he is very unstable in terms of the game and often makes banal mistakes. This guy can lose in Dota due to wrong moves and decisions, I would not bet on Live to Win in today's match. Do not forget that this map can be played live, after the picks you can evaluate the teams' capabilities and place a bet, but I will fill in the bet before the match starts.
NoTechies is played by guys who have played this game at a high level, individually they represented such organizations as NAVI, VP, GAMBIT and SPIRIT. I believe that players of this level should show the game of the highest class today, they train every day and Artstyle helps them in this, this guy, as you understand, is also famous in e-sports. In this match, I bet on the NoTechies team.
I recommend to put on NoTechies.
