Match forudsigelse: NaVi - Vici Gaming | Dota 2

The second day of the Last Chance Qualifier continues. We have already discussed the matches of the first stream and now it's time for the second one.

One of the central fights of the second stream will be the confrontation between Vici Gaming and NAVI. Group B participants will play 2 points, which can significantly increase the chances of one and the other to succeed and advance to the upper bracket of the playoffs.

However, most likely both teams will end up there anyway, but it’s not worth keeping an eye on such important events. Each point can be decisive.

We are trying to figure out whether there will be a winner in this b2 or whether the teams will exchange courtesies, eventually breaking up in peace.

Form NAVI

As long as there is time left before the start of the match, odds will not appear. We will go in random order in the review and start with NAVI.

The third qualifier team from Eastern Europe and the fourth team in the region. Seems like it should sound pretty good given the strength of Eastern Europe in recent seasons.

Before the match with Vici Gaming, they will play against Nouns, Polaris and Tempest. As I have repeatedly noted, the game calendar of the “born to win” promotes an early set of points. Of the three previous matches, NAVI should take out 4 points, at best - 6. I have concerns about their meeting with Polaris, so the average will be 5.

In the case of the yellow-blacks, even 5 points does not guarantee them a place in the upper bracket, because Vici and Secret, the group's main competitors, are ahead of them. In general, you need to win here and now, without complaining about later.

Let's instead talk about the same topics about stable No[o]ne, problems in the midgame with strong picks, let's remember how NAVI went to LCQ.

They did this by taking 3rd place in the closed qualifiers in Eastern Europe. On the way to the grand finals, the Born to Win lost to the Outsiders.

Heroes of NAVI

Most picked heroes for NAVI in patch 7.32: Primal Beast (4 matches, 50% wins), Batrider (3 matches, 33% wins), Undying (3 matches, 33% wins), Snapfire (3 matches, 0 wins).

Here we make an amendment to the recent patch, which will definitely make its own adjustments to what is happening, but probably not critically.

Vici Gaming Uniform

Vici Gaming will face Natus Vincere in this match. Far from the fact that as an outsider.

I would say definitely not in the status of catching up. Maximum - parity, and then depending on the previous matches. Here VIci may have problems, but minimal ones.

Before the start of the match with NAVI, Vici will play against Nouns, Tempest and Secret. As for me, they will approach NAVI with a score of 5-1. Perhaps Secret in the group will show the level and close Vici 2-0, but Tempest and Nouns should fly by without any appeals.

In general, it will be very interesting to watch Vici not only in this match, but in the tournament in general. The team had a terrible season, which is worth relegation to the second division at the end of the rating year. Now Vici is naturally a pig in a poke.

Before the start of LCQ, it's hard to imagine how much Vici have raised their game, or perhaps dug even deeper. Let's find out, October 8th.

Nothing has changed in the last 3 episodes. Oh how!

Heroes of Vici Gaming

The most common picks for Vici are Marci (5 matches, 80% win rate), Queen of Pain (5 matches, 80% win rate), Primal Beast (4 matches, 75% win rate), Timbersaw (4 matches, 50% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the clubs met with each other, but in different compositions. Now this fight will become the debut confrontation between the teams.

Match outcome

The key to winning this series is the mid lane. If you strangle Xm - Vici fell down; Erika and bab won't pull the strap over themselves and drag the team. A similar situation with No[o]ne - Vladimir needs to pick conditional Lina or Puck, but NAVI can easily choose Batrider or some DK for him, pulling him completely out of his comfort zone and ruining the game.

In terms of picks, there will be no questions for NAVI, because their coach is working out well, which we have seen in past seasons. NAVI really rarely floated at the stage of pico-bans, but in the game itself, especially when switching to macro in the midgame, there were drawdowns.

In general, I believe that the yellow-blacks will take the card. They desperately need points, especially in the final rounds. NAVI often screw up with this, but at the same time, they often throw at teams that are nominally weaker, and therefore against the giants, you should expect the most academic execution and competent implementation of strategies, which, in my opinion, NAVI should have no problems with.

Bottom line: +1.5 on NAVI.
