Maç Tahmini: Mineski - LGD.Forever Young | Dota 2

The teams faced for the last time at ESL One Genting 2018 about four months ago and the victory was achieved with a score of 2:0 by the guys from Mineski, however, it’s not worth to consider this result as too much time has passed and the Malaysian team has started playing much better.

Mineski is one of the best teams on the modern professional scene and holds the fifth place by a number of DPC points per season, which gives them good chances to get to The International 2018 without passing qualifiers. This year, the team has won Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018 and also stopped on the 3rd-4th place at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 4 and Captains Draft 4.0. The team was unlucky to place higher than 5th-6th at EPICENTER XL and MDL Changsha Major.

LGD.Forever Young performed great at The International 2017, however, the team’s things went wrong after it - over the whole season 2017/2018, the team achieved victory at Dota2 Professional League Season 4 (2017 S2) - Top, stopped on the third place at Perfect World Masters and was not able to place higher than sixth at MDL Macau. It’s also worth to notice that the roster made one replacement after a transfer window, so it will not be able to receive a direct invitation to The International 2018.

Bookmakers consider Mineski to be a favorite of the match and offer odds in the sum of 1,5 for their victory. LGD.Forever Young’s triumph is evaluated as 2,4. We think that Mineski will have to win the match, however, it’s not worth to exclude the success of the Chinese team as they know how to play this game, which they have shown at The International 2017 and everything may happen in a bo1 match.
