The last round of the second quartet at WePlay AniMajor will delight us with a meeting between Vici Gaming and Execration. There are no uninteresting matches in the Majors, but exceptions do happen.
The Vici and Execration case is very similar to this exception. I do not see a struggle here, although I may be wrong.
In defense of a potentially interesting duel, the following argument can be put forward: Execration could have a practice of playing against Chinese teams, since the regions, whatever one may say, sometimes overlap. Perhaps such a potential practice will be the key to success for the young Filipino team.
Also, you can not write off the "magic" of the majors. We remember very well what OB Esports x Neon did in Singapore.
We will test all the above hypotheses and “ifs” tomorrow. Now let's take a closer look at the teams.
Execration Form
We have already addressed Vici, so we will return to them a little later. Let's take a look at Execration now.
Execration is a rather shaky team, as well as the entire Southeast Asia region in the second season. The most common picks are Void Spirit, Centaur, Snapfire, Treant Protector, and Morphling. The heroes do not shine with winrate: the most picked Void Spirit and Centaur have 40% wins in 5 matches, and Treant Protector has 33% with 3 played matches.
Game performance also leaves much to be desired. The last few matches Execration clearly wanted to play and were preparing hard for the Major.
Execration last 5 matches
- Defeat South Built Esports 2-0
- Defeat Fnatic 2-0
- Lost to Motivate.Trust Gaming 2-0
- Lose from OB Esports x Neon with a score of 0-2
- Lost to Lilgun 0-2
Again, you can complain about the preparation for the Major, but losing to the weakest team in the region, without a chance, is not at all suitable. Vici will be in trouble.
Vici Gaming Form
We have already discussed Vici, so it only remains to add a few points. It's always nice to discuss a strong team.
Remember that Vici's trump card is supports and confident play on the lanes. Also, if we see the Specter - most likely Vici has a victory in his pocket: while the hero is walking with statistics 2-0.
Vici has more than anything in recent meetings. Out of 5 matches, they lost only 1 and then PSG.LGD, which is not at all shameful.
Vici Recent Results
- Win over RNG with a score of 2-0
- Defeat Aster 2-0
- Defeat Elephant 2-1
- Defeat Sparking Arrow Gaming 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
Statistics will be changed as Vici has 2 more matches before Execration. This should also be taken into account when placing a bet.
Personal meeting history
Previously, the two clubs have not met in official matches in official matches. The Wild Card game of the WePlay AniMajor round will be its debut.
Result of the match
In this match, I see no chance for Execration. I also recommend taking a closer look at live on the first 10 kills, because Execration do them rarely, and Vici, on the contrary (although here Execration's swagger can play a cruel joke, which I think they experience)
Outcome: 2-0 Vici, Vici's first 10 kills.
