Prediction for the match between CHILLAX and Gambit Esports in the lower bracket of the Dota 2 Champions League Season 8 playoffs. CHILLAX defeated Team Empire 2:0 in the playoffs and lost to Winstrike 0:2, then I expected 1 map from them.
Gambit Esports turned out to be weaker than Virtus.pro 1:2, and then they dealt with cybercats 2:0 and HYDRA 2:0 in the lower bracket.
In the group stage, Gambit Esports were in 1st place with 3 wins and 1 loss; they beat Team Empire 2:0, CHILLAX 2:0 (!!!) and cybercats 2:0, losing to No Monkey Business 1:2.
CHILLAX were in the "B" group just in second place behind Gambit, having beaten Team Empire and No Monkey Business in the replays.

4 games with Gambit Esports were with TM 2.5 on cards; only in the match with Virtus.pro did the TB 2.5 break through on the cards. CHILLAX used a lot of substitutions, and they often end up with 2 cards (TM 2.5). In personal meetings, CHILLAX lost to Gambit Esports with a score of 0:2.
Gambit Esports defeated HYDRA 2-0 on March 29; on the first one they took: Tiny, Mars, Undying, Storm Spirit, Keeper of the Light; on the second: Tusk, Medusa, Snapfire, Sand King, Death Prophet.
CHILLAX turned out to be weaker than Winstrike on March 29; there everything was without a chance; on the first pick: IO, Huskar, Pugna, Centaur, Ursa; on the second: Tiny, Pugna, Abaddon, Mars, Windranger.
I expect to definitely see the victory of Gambit Esports, the main question is whether CHILLAX will take at least 1 card. The European team had no serious opponents, and they lost to the more or less sane Winstrike 0:2 without much chance of winning.
Bookmakers give odds of 1.296 on Gambit Esports and 3.44 on CHILLAX; TB 2.5 on cards - coefficient 2.17; for 1 card from CHILLAX - 1.736; at 2:0 from Gambit - 1.998. Due to the multiple substitutions from CHILLAX, I would have believed Gambit to win 2-0, but it's better to bet LIVE after the drafts and the final list of rosters.
Prediction: Gambit Esports will win CHILLAX with a score of 2:0 - odds 1.998
