Matchförutsägelse: Nemiga Gaming - Virtus.pro | Dota 2

We return to what is happening within the framework of the Eastern European scene. The second week starts there.

It starts quite smoothly, rather slowly. The sign for at least the first match is not too loud, but there are not many passing matches.

Virtus.pro and Nemiga will play in the first match of the 6th gaming day. Both teams are experiencing difficulties after the first week.

Virtus.pro will enter the match on the 5th line of the table. The team has 1 win and 1 loss.

Nemiga Gaming's situation is even worse. The club is 0-2 in the standings, having lost two debut matches.

We are looking into whether Nemiga Gaming will be able to catch up with the result, or whether Virtus.pro will be moved up in the NaVi standings and will single-handedly take 5th place.

Uniform Nemiga Gaming

Let's start the review of the match with an analysis of the game form of Nemiga Gaming. They will be the favorites in this match.

Bookmakers have a little more faith in Nemiga Gaming. The chance of their victory is equal to the coefficient in the region of 1.7.

Nemiga Gaming really looked like a potentially strong team, but now, with the onset of DPC 2023, the situation has changed, as can be seen from the team's performance. The main trump card of Nemiga - its composition does not help either.

Composition of Nemiga

In early reviews of DPC 2023 in Eastern Europe, I singled out the Nemiga roster as potentially the main advantage of the team, but now we see that this is not entirely true.

The roster is well-played, but they have no experience of playing at major championships, like the DPC. Perhaps this was the key factor in the defeat against HellRaisers in the first series.

Performance of Nemiga Gaming

Since the roster has been holding since May of this year, the results of the team in the context of different events are quite indicative. And they are so-so.

In the 2022 season, Nemiga played as part of the second division of the DPC EEU. In the first round, the team stopped a step away from a critical point, taking 6th place and retaining a slot in the ecosystem, but already in the next round they left the second division.

It was possible to return back almost immediately, already in a new format with an updated roster. Nemiga went through open qualifiers and continued to play within the DPC EEU - Division II with a new fuse. This paid off and after the third round, taking 2nd place, Nemiga earned a place in the first league.

Before the start of the top division of Eastern Europe, Nemiga Gaming took TOP-3 at the BetBoom Xmas Show. The competitors in the tournament were Spirit, Gaimin Gladiators and HellRaisers.

HellRaisers became Nemiga Gaming's first opponent at DPC 2023. As a result of an exhausting and complete marriage on both sides, the latter won the victory.

Darksiders followed. The hodgepodge of downed pilots managed to defeat Nemiga Gaming with a score of 0-2. You can't call it an easy game, but a clear victory was achieved.

Heroes of Nemiga Gaiming

Timbersaw remains Nemiga Gaming's most beloved character. The team chose him 5 times, and the hero won all his matches.

Next come Rubick with 5 matches and 80% win rate, Silencer with 4 appearances and wins in all, Monkey King with 4 matches and 75% win rate, and Pangolier with Magnus who won 2 out of 4 maps.

Form Virtus.pro

Let's continue the review of the match with an analysis of Virtus.pro's game form. They are in this fight in the status of an outsider.

Bookies are reserved about the new generation of “bears”. The chance of their victory is equal to the coefficient in the region of 1.9.

The gap between the teams is minimal, if you look at the quotes. Before the start of the season, I would say that Nemiga are much more attractive in terms of gameplay, but so far this is not the case.

Virtus.pro roster

• krylat
• squad1x
• Noticed
• sayw
• Dukalis

The forced replacement of a carry spoiled the intra-team synergy, but at least now there is a respectable player with a good level of execution in the first position.

Virtus.pro performance

As mentioned above, before the start of the closed qualifiers for The International 2022, VP managed to play in the elite division of Eastern Europe and other events under the Outsiders tag due to the ban on using the logo and sponsors of the club under sanctions.

The VP tag itself played only on D2CL and did not shine with special success there. The team won the 12th season, but then it went into the TOP-3 in tournaments from 8 to 11 seasons, which is not very significant.

Before the BetBoom Xmas Show, already in a new guise, VP took part in D2CL Season 17. The warm-up tournament with an objectively weak list of participants ended sadly for Virtus.pro.

As part of D2CL Season 17, VP took TOP-6, which is clearly far from optimal results. As part of the BetBoom Xmas Show, the team will get a chance to rectify the situation, but so far nothing hints at this.

In the first match of the playoffs, VP somehow got past PuckChamp, beating them 2-1. Then there was a match against Gaimin Gladiators and a loss with a score of 0-2, although not without a struggle on the first map.

Then there was the start of DPC 2023. The team started with a 0-2 defeat against BB Team, where former Virtus.pro performers play together with TORONTOTOKYO.

Later, VP met with Darkside, where there are also members of various iterations of VP (Ramzes and RodjER). The team turned out to be surprisingly ready for the match and closed the series with a score of 2-0.

Heroes Virtus.pro

Virtus.pro's most picked character remains Disruptor (9 matches, 55% win rate). On the heels of the thunderer is Undying (8 matches, 50% of wins).

Also chosen by VP are Shadow Fiend (4 matches, 75% win rate), Silencer (4 matches, 50% win rate), Lina (4 matches, 50% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams managed to play at the BB Xmas Show. Then Nemiga Gaming celebrated a clear victory.

The outcome of the fight

In this match, I will be leaning towards a total of +2.5 with a slight margin towards VP. The teams, as for me, are worthy of each other and are virtually identical.

I expect a copious amount of marriage from both sides, which will not allow one of the teams to close the series with a score of 2-0.

Result: total +2.5.
