Matchförutsägelse: NaVi - Darkside | Dota 2
DPC 2022/2023 Winter Tour 1: EEU Division I (Upper)Tomorrow, the confrontations within the DPC 2023 EEU Upper Division will start, and at the same time, the real atmosphere of the DPC will return. Every day we will have matches from different regions with different teams and, accordingly, with a different playstyle.
There will be two matches within Eastern Europe. HellRaisers and Nemiga Gaming will open the run, and NaVi and Darkside will close the first game day.
The confrontation is very entertaining, both in terms of the names in the teams, and in the storyline. We are waiting for the confrontation of the former teammates.
We are trying to figure out if NaVi in the updated roster will be able to outplay the former club captain SoNNeiKo with Ramzes in the team. The match promises to be hot.
Darkside form
Let's start the analysis of the duel with the form of Darkside. They will appear as favorites in this match.
The bookmaker estimates Darkside's chance of winning with odds around 1.7. In such a duel, the figure is more like equality, and in fact, I am almost sure that we will get it.
The minimum advantage in the pre-match quotes was obtained thanks to the names in the squad. However, even this raises questions.
Darkside line-up
In Darkside, there was a classic situation for teams from Eastern Europe. It is called we will take everyone who did not get into the top club and create a successful team. How many times has this tactic worked?
Darkside Players
- Ramzes
- re1bl
- DkFogas
- RodjER
- SoNNeiKo
Let's start our review of the roster with the duo RodjER and SoNNeiKo. You can give credit to the latter: nevertheless, from time to time he manages to concoct a fighting squad, which, as a result, can reach The International, as was the case, for example, last season with the BB team. At the same time, RodjER also played with BB, it seems like there is minimal synergy.
There is always potential re1bl in the mid. Which is true, forever in the case of re1bl - rather a minus than a praise. In HR, he looked pretty good, but in the “star” lineup, he can fade away.
Ramzes played for Virtus.pro and Outsiders. I was close to qualifying for The International 2022, but not making it to the main event of the year could hit the ego of a big player very hard.
DkFogas - exactly like re1bl in the status of forever potential, but even with lesser ambitions.
Darkside Performance
The team is absolutely fresh, and therefore they did not play in tournaments outside the DPC. Naturally, we can remember the BB result at The International 2022, when the team did not reach the playoffs, we can also remember Ramzes, who was eliminated from the Last Chance Qualifier, but the team did not play as a whole.
Form NaVi
Let's continue the review with the analysis of Natus Vincere kit. In this match, they are predicted to be underdog status.
The bookmakers give NaVi odds around 1.9 to win. The gap is small, but it exists.
NaVi nominally remained the same “born to win”, but in reality, fragments of the former roster remained. After a major reshuffle, NaVi is somewhere on the borderline: it is not clear whether it will benefit them or whether we will again get a “new era” with all the consequences.
Natus Vincere squad
As stated above. 3 participants from the previous formation remained in the NaVi roster. They lost NaVi and their captain Solo.
NaVi Players
- V tune
- Nicky'Cool
- laise
- sweden strong
- Malady
Nicky`Cool and Malady became newcomers to Natus Vincere. The Kazakh duo will try to refresh the ossified division of the yellow-blacks in Dota 2.
Mid laner Nicky`Cool previously played in the Kazakh line-up of Rune Eaters, where malady once came from. However, the latter has experience playing in larger teams like HR and others, and in general he is called a promising performer, who, moreover, will apparently take the reins of power. There are already questions about this.
NaVi results
Since NaVi managed to keep the backbone, let's remember for what merits V-Tune, laise and Swedenstrong remained in the top Eastern European club.
NaVi played in the first division of Eastern Europe last season, where they showed “mixed” results. In the first season, the team finished in 5th place, after which they took 6th place in the regional finals.
Then there was a more successful performance in the second round of the DPC, followed by the TOP-2, and this was followed by the PGL Arlington Major 2022. At the only major tournament for the “yellow-blacks”, the TOP-14 also ended at the group stage.
Before the DPC, the team played in the qualifiers for The International, where they took TOP-3 and went to the Last Chance Qualifier. Already at the last chance tournament, the team took TOP-8.
Heroes NaVi
In patch 7.32, NaVi picked Clockwerk (7 matches, 57% win rate), Drow Ranger (6 matches, 83% win rate), Primal Beast (6 games, 66% win rate), Ember Spirit (6 matches, 66% win rate) most often.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams in these rosters did not play with each other. This fight will be the debut match of the teams.
The outcome of the confrontation
Watching NaVi in the very first match of the new season with a renewed roster is still a pleasure. The golden rule of betting is: "Never bet against NAVI and never bet on NAVI." Perhaps it should be followed, at least in this match.
But what you can bet on is a full-fledged bo3. I think there are 3 cards waiting for us in this game.
Result: total +2.5.
