The post Team Secret gets its revenge over Virtus Pro, wins Chongqing Major appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>Team Secret, composed of Nisha, Midone, Zai, Yapzor and Puppey, was able to reverse its most recent result against Virtus Pro when it mattered most, clinching the Grand Final of the 2019 Chongqing Major.
In the Kuala Lumpur Major, Virtus Pro triumphed over Team Secret, but this time it was Team Secret that was able to come up trumps, winning 3-1.
Let’s have a look at how Team Secret won the title.
Ingame one, Team Secret drafted Timbersaw and Phantom Lancer after Virtus Pro picked Earth Spirit and Beastmaster.
Virtus Pro reacted to those picks by drafting Monkey King and Oracle. Monkey King was able to withstand the lane pressure from Timbersaw and his ultimate skill — Wukong’s Command with battlefury — allowed him to clear the illusion of Phantom Lancer.
Virtus Pro even picked Shadow Fiend last because Shadow Fiend is able to deal high magic damage to Timbersaw in the early game.
Despite the drafting, the game was in Team Secret’s control. The victors ran 3-1-1 strategy by putting Undying, Shadow Shaman and Phantom Lancer in top lane, Lina in middle lane and Timbersaw solo bottom lane.
Team Secret’s top lane heroes forced the Beastmaster from Virtus Pro to farm in jungle, while Lina was able to survive the gank from Earth Spirit, Shadow Fiend and Oracle.
Timbersaw at bottom lane was having great farm against Monkey King due to his reactive armour – allowing him to have bonus armour up to 32 and bonus health regeneration up to 32 at its maximum level.

Monkey King is a hero that is only able to deal physical damage, so he was unable to zone out Timbersaw when Timbersaw was at level 5. Virtus Pro made a few successful ganks on him with Shadow Fiend and both two supports to bottom lane. However, this was part of Team Secret’s plan, having four heroes to gank on a position three hero, creating a lot of space to Lina and Phantom Lancer to farm.
Virtus Pro called GG when Phantom Lancer crushed their defense while holding Aegis of Immortal. Phantom Lancer ended the game with 7 kills, 0 death and 7 assists.
Team Secret out-drafted Virtus Pro again in game two, taking Sven, Outworld Destroyer, Luna and Centaur Warchief, then taking Drow Ranger last. This squad definitely shocked Virtus Pro and also most of the Dota 2 fans in the arena.
Team Secret put Luna into position four. Although Luna is quite incompatible against Tuskar, Lion and Phantom Assassin. However, with the help from Sven, they were able to create space for Luna to farm.
At around the 12-minute mark, they started to group up by taking down Roshan and letting Drow Ranger hold the Aegis of Immortal. They then started to push middle together as a full squad.
Luna, the position four hero, was the king of providing attribute to the team with his third ability, Lunar Blessing, which increases 24 primary attribute every nearby ally hero and herself.
Virtus Pro had to surrender because all heroes from Team Secret were too strong for them to handle at that early stage of the game.
Fast forward to game four and Nisha picked one of his signature heroes in this tournament – Phantom Assassin. With the three-time Rampage against EHOME was still fresh in the minds of Virtus Pro, who attempted to counter Phantom Assassin by picking Death Prophet.

However, Midone, the position two player from Team Secret, played Outworld Destroyer in the game and harassed Death Prophet heavily in the laning phase so Phantom Assassin had all the space to farm and purchased his Battlefury at 16-minute mark. With the Cleave attack provided by Battlefury, he was able to get his core items, including Black King Bar and Desolator by 26-minute mark.
Phantom Assassin ended the game with 10 kills, 0 death and 8 assists, golds per minute up to 716.
Nisha was definitely the MVP in this tournament and Puppey was credited for the amazing draft in this whole Chongqing Major journey for Team Secret.
The next tournament that featuring Dota Pro Circuit Points is DreamLeague Season 11, which will be held on March 4th over a period of seven days.

]]>Team Secret and Virtus Pro will battle it out on Friday night to determine who advances to the Grand Final series of the Chongqing Major and secure at least 3000 Dota Pro Circuit points.
Virtus Pro was able to advance to this match despite not having its full squad. Solo, the position five support player, was off sick and replaced by their coach, ArsZeeqq.
Surprisingly, it turned out very well for Virtus Pro, who was able to whitewash PSG.LGD 2-0.
ArsZeeqq was in a good mood in the post-match press conference.
“I am just playing according to my draft, tried my best to harass the enemies in laning phase and let RAMZES666 (carry position player from Virtus Pro) to get his farm and win the game.”
Arsteeqq is a very proud coach of this team and has been a big recruit when it comes to helping his team in analysing and countering the opponent’s draft.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
We expect Virtus Pro to be at their regardless of whether ArsZeeqq or Solo is playing.
Team Secret has displayed versatility in drafting its core heroes. Their picks have included Medusa, Sniper, Phantom Assassin, Tidehunter, Morphing, Troll Warlock, Outworld Destroyer, Faceless Void and other carries.
We guess Virtus Pro has no way of out-drafting them in this match-up because they haven’t spammed a carry in the playoffs.

There is one thing Virtus Pro need to take note of – Nisha’s Phantom Assassin getting 3 times of rampage (killing 7 different heroes in a short time), this is possible when enemy spent buyback and come back to the team fight.
Nisha’s Phantom Assassin was on fire in their game two against EHOME on January 23, 2019. While Chen, Shadow Shaman and Sniper were waiting to respawn. He and Tidehunter were hanging on and kiting whole EHOME squad and even killed all of them including 2 buybacks from Oracle and Sven.
After running our eye through the drafting abilities, we give Team Secret a 75% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go high and bet on Team Secret to win the game at -120.48 or higher at BetOnline.
Live betting on Team Secret is also recommended if Virtus Pro is playing with their coach as stand-in.

]]>AFTER dominating its match-up with TNC Predator, Team Liquid will continue their Chongqing Major journey against Fnatic on Friday evening in what is expected to be a tight-fought Dota 2 affair.
Team news coming into the game is that Shadow will continue to stand-in for Team Liquid throughout the tournament.
Matumbaman, the carry position player from Team Liquid, once again dominated the stage against TNC Predator.
Matumbaman picked Razor in the first game of the series and earned 18 kills with only one death along with four assists by the end of the game.
He displayed a new meta of Razor. Normally we would prioritize maximizing the level of first ability or second ability of Razor to have better killing potential in the early stage of the game and create space for the position one. His Razor was position two in that game, while Shadow’s Terrorblade was being put in position one.
However, Matumbaman maximized the level of third skill – Unstable Current – which allowed him to farm a lot faster in Jungle because this skill constantly dealing 120 damage to a 500 radius surrounding Razor every six seconds.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
In the laning phase, TNC Predator had a strong start by dominating all three lanes in the game. Razor was able to farm because he constantly pushed out the lane by killing the creeps and went farming in the jungle.
The game was in favour of TNC Predator up until the 25-minute mark. Team Liquid always defend high ground without Terrorblade. Although the successful defend was costly, Undying, Sven and Keeper of the Light spent their buyback to defend the top lane rax. While Shadow had the space to farm throughout the two-minute-long team fight between the members of Team Liquid and five enemy heroes.
Shadow successfully purchase Eye of Skadi with the space Team Liquid created for him and he teleported back to base to join the team fight and wiped out three members of TNC Predator.

Gabbi, the carry position from TNC Predator tried his best to cut off the creep wave of Team Liquid in all possible way he could. However, Terrorblade was too strong and able to tear down the tower in few second as long as there is one creep able to reach TNC Predator’s base.
TNC Predator was forced to call GG as their throne was brought down by Terrorblade.
Fnatic, revealed another signature hero of Abed in their match-up against J.Storm just a few days ago.
Abed spammed two games of Outworld Destroyer in that match-up. Fnatic hadn’t drafted Outworld Destroyer in the group stage and their match-up against EHOME in the winner bracket.
They only drafted this hero when it came to elimination match against J.Storm. Abed was adept at playing the hero and was able to get Scythe of Vyse before the 32-minute mark in both games.
In game one, Fnatic out-drafted J.Storm by picking Timbersaw last. Iceiceice, the position three player from Fnatic, played Timbersaw and changed to position one because he harassed Venomancer heavily in the laning phase. He tried to create space for Faceless Void by farming aggressively in enemy jungle but he was unstoppable and it takes 5 heroes from J.Storm just to make sure they had higher chance to kill Timbersaw.
Timbersaw and Outworld Destroyer are the heroes Team Liquid need to be aware of Fnatic. Medusa is also one of the heroes Abed spammed in their match-up against EHOME in the winner bracket.
After running our eye through the drafting abilities and recent performances of both squads in Chongqing Major professional matches, we give Team Liquid a 65% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go low and bet on Team Liquid to win the game at -166.67 or higher at BetOnline.
We also recommend live betting and going low on Team Liquid if they are able to draft Terrorblade.

]]>AFTER sending Thunder Predator home in their lower bracket elimination match, the Evil Geniuses will continue their Chonqing Major tournament against Vici Gaming in a best-of-three series on Friday afternoon.
Arteezy, the carry player from Evil Geniuses, was on fire against Thunder Predator yesterday.
In game one he played Terrorbalde, one of his signature heroes. With help from Tuskar and Disruptor, had a strong start.
Evil Geniuses’ last pick, Outworld Destroyer, totally destroyed the draft of Thunder Predator because no hero from Thunder Predator was able to withstand the pressure from Outworld Destroyer in the laning phase.
Sumail, the position two player from Evil Geniuses, played Outworld Destroyer and harassed Tiny heavily in that game.
Tiny is a hero that only came “online” after he has the Blink Dagger. Draken, the position two player from Thunder Predator, was playing Tiny in that game and was only able to grab Blink Dagger at the 15-minute mark, which was four minutes slower than the average Blink Dagger timer, compared to the average of all professional matches in the latest patch.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
Although Tiny started making gank on Evil Geniuses, Arteezy was halfway to his Black King Bar and purchased it at the 20-minute mark.
Thunder Predator called GG when Terrorblade had six slotted inventory, including Power Threat, Manta Style, Black King Bar, Butterfly, Eye of Skadi and Assault Cuirass. Terrorblade ended the game with 12 kills, 0 death and golds per minute up to 889.
In the game two, Evil Geniuses drafted Outworld Destroyer again. However, Arteezy picked himself Anti-Mage this game.
With the same plan, Outworld Destroyer dominated mid-lane heavily and created space for Anti-Mage to farm. Anti-Mage had his core items including Battlefury, Manta Style and Abyssal Blade by 26 minute-mark while the carry hero from enemy team – Phantom Assassin only had Battefury and Yasha at the same time.
Outworld Destroyer obtained 10 kills and 0 deaths by the time Thunder Predator surrendered.

Evil Geniuses draft focused on Outworld Destroyer dominating mid lane and creating space for the carry.
Looking at Vici Gaming’s draft of late in the playoffs, they been having the same strategy Evil Geniuses were executing – Securing Outworld Destroyer and Terrorblade to their side if possible.
They always pick on Terrorblade first and sntached Outworld Destroyer at the 4th or 5th pick if enemy yet to ban this hero.
This should be an interesting match-up because both are carrying same draft and strategy. Live betting on team able to grab Outworld Destroyer is recommended.
After running our eye through the drafting abilities, we give Vici Gaming a 55% chance to win this match-up.
Considering both teams have the same strategy, our recommendation is to go low and live bet on whichever team is able to grab Outworld Destroyer. Otherwise, skip this match.

]]>The post Team Liquid vs. TNC Predator elimination betting – Chongqing Major appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>TNC Predator and Team Liquid will do battle in a fierce Dota 2 battle with elimination from the Chongqing Major hanging over the head of the loser.
Shadow is playing for Team Liquid because Miracle was unable to attend the tournament, currently hospitalized due to food poisoning.
Having a stand-in for Miracle was bad enough for Team Liquid, but we have learned that Shadow may not able to continue to participate in this tournament either.
Team Liquid has not announced who is replacing Shadow, but our wild guess is Team Liquid might ask Burning, the coach from Team Aster, to stand in for the team.
Burning may have declined a previous invitation because Team Aster was still in the tournament, however, TNC Predator eliminated Team Aster yesterday. So, Burning does not have the burden of being coach of Team Aster to decline their invitation this time around.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
Looking at Team Liquid’s performance with Shadow in their group stage and against Team Secret in Upper Bracket Round 1, it was clear for all to see that Shadow performed poorly and was a heavy burden to the team because he always jumps into enemies without help from his team.
Team Liquid does not have the synergy and chemistry required to win with Shadow.
Matumbaman is performing extremely well in this tournament, but this is not enough to take down TNC Predator.
Armel, the position two player from TNC Predator, performed strongly with Tinker yesterday against Team Aster.
Tinker is a hero requiring a high-action-per-minute skill to maximize his output damage in the team fight. The player must be very good in hiding from enemies and spamming skills from the fog so the enemies are unable to catch him.

TNC Predator drafted Beastmaster to work with Tinker as well. Beastmaster was able to summon a wild hawk to scout an area of 900 radius in the area player, with that scouting hawk, Tinker always able to spam Missile Rocket to the enemies scouted by the hawk without revealing himself.
Gabbi, the position one player from TNC Predator, also performed awesomely yesterday by rampaging against Team Aster before Team Aster called GG.
After analysing drafting abilities and the members’ form in both squads, we give TNC Predator a 60% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go high and bet on TNC Predator to win the game at better than $2.5 or higher are available.

]]>AFTER surviving its elimination match with Forward Gaming, J.Storm’s Chongqing Major campaign continues on Wednesday night when they take on Fnatic.
J.Storm displayed an incredible drafting strategy against Forward Gaming yesterday.
Fear, the position four player, spammed Grimstroke. He played four games of Grimstroke out of 5 games J.Strom played in this tournament.
Yesterday, J.Storm picked Grimstroke again, along with Centaur Warchief. These two heroes are very strong in the early phase. Grimstroke’s casting of Ink Swell on Centaur Warchief allowed Centaur Warchief to gain extra movement so he could walk nearer to the enemies and stun them. Then, Grimstroke followed up by spamming first skill and second on the enemies, who were stunned by Centaur Warchief killing Terrorblade because Terrorblade did not have enough health points in the early stage of game.
However, Forward Gaming countered this combo by sending both supports to help Terrorblade.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
Both teams were evenly matched until J.Storm pushed the high ground at 70-minute mark. Bryle, the position two player from J.Storm played Outworld Destroyer. Outworld Destroyer and Grimstroke both purchased Scythe of Vyse, which can hex one enemy hero for a duration of 3.5 seconds.
With the ultimate ability of Grimstroke — Soulbind — allowed any negative buff on the target hero linked to another enemy hero. So, Outworld Destroyer could hex two enemies with only one cast of Scythe of Vyse on one target.
With that, they took down the Roshan and secured themselves the Refreshard Shard on Outworld Destroyer to allow him cast 2 times of hex and also 2 times of Sanity Eclipse which damage the enemy’s hero based on the intelligent different between the enemy and Outworld Destroyer. Sanity Eclipse also burned 40% of the mana from affected heroes.
Fnatic has performed very well in group stage and will enter this match with confidence. However, in their last match-up against EHOME two days ago, they exposed their reliance on Medusa, which is a bad news for them.
Although Medusa is imbalanced once he reaches level 25, picking this hero when enemies are yet to reveal their core heroes is not a good idea.

Bet Now Read Review |
In their game three against EHOME, EHOME revealed one of their core heroes, Visage, and Fnatic picked Medusa. EHOME punished their confidence with Drow Ranger and Visage’s pushing strategy. Medusa was too busy to defend the high ground against the EHOME early stage of pushing, so he did not have much space to farm.
At the 35-minute mark, he was only at level 20 and EHOME started to tearing down their base as Visage and Drow Ranger both hit their level 25. Visage learned the talent of having one more familiar at level 25 and Drow Ranger took the talent of reduce 50% cooldown on all abilities and items which allowed him to keep on spamming the precision skill to increase the attack speed of range creep and familiars under Visage’s control.
Grimstroke of J.Storm is a hero that Fnatic will have to watch out for because Fear is very good at playing that hero in this meta, while J.Storm has to think of a way to stop Medusa free farm if Fnatic picks this hero in the upcoming match-up.
After running our eye through the recent form of both sides, we give Fnatic a 70% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go low and bet on Fnatic to win the game at -357.14 or higher at?BetOnline.
We also recommend live bet and go medium on Fnatic if they able to draft Medusa to their side.

]]>After a brave victory over Fnatic in its last best-of-three series, EHOME will come up against Team Secret in a huge Upper Bracket battle that will have big ramifications at the Chongqing Major.
EHOME was very cautious in its drafting against Fnatic in game one and knew that Abed, the position two player, is very good with Mepoo, so they banned Mepoo in the last banning phase because their line up could not deal with an awesome Mepoo player.
ASD, the position two player from EHOME, was playing Shadow Fiend in that game. Sumail’s Shadow Fiend went for Eul’s Scepter of Divinity (EUL) build. Instead of being defensive, he was playing aggressively with Blink Dagger and set up team fight with EUL to one shot the enemy to death with his ultimate ability – Requiem of Soul in zero cast range.
He also purchased Aghanim’s Scepter at 29-minute mark to increase his ultimate skill damage to the enemies. With the help from Visage and Underlord, they had no problem of going to the high ground after securing Roshan’s Aegis of Immortal.

Tinker from Fnatic unable to defend against them with spamming March of the Machines on high ground. Fnatic had to call GG when ASD killed Grimstroke inside of their fountain because Fnatic had no way of winning the game.
In game three EHOME made a great draft by picking one of the imbalanced combos – Drow Ranger and Visage.
Thanks to Drow Ranger’ Precision Aura, EHOME secured the map control and teared down all the outer towers by the 20-minute mark. Fnatic still had faith in their Medusa, because Medusa hitting level 25 with split shot modifier talent is very strong.
However, EHOME did not give them the chance and ended the game when Medusa was at level 23.
Team Secret, the team beaten down Team Liquid yesterday. Team Liquid was underperformed because Shadow is stand in for Miracle in this tournament.
Shadow did not have the good synergy with the Liquid squad so Team Secret whitewashed Team Liquid with 2-0 easily.

Looking at the matches Team Secret played against PSG.LGD in the group stage. Team Secret were drafting core carries which are not very strong in this meta – Slark and Troll Warlock. While PSG.LGD drafted Terrorblade and Medusa as their hard carries in the match-up.
EHOME and PSG.LGD are having some similarity in drafting because both teams are prioritizing Tuskar or Elder Titan as their position four support hero and likes to draft Terrorblade or Medusa as their hard carries which is very strong in this meta.
After running our eye through the drafting ability of both side, we give EHOME a 65% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go medium and bet on EHOME to win the game at better than +150 or higher at?BetOnline.

]]>PSG.LGD will go to war against Virtus Pro in a best-of-three series to secure a top three place in the Chongqing Major in what should be a feisty Upper Bracket Round 2 clash.
PSG.LGD has already secured at least 900 Dota Pro Circuit Points in this tournament as a top six team and will give themselves every chance to go all the way from here.
PSG.LGD picked Tuskar first in both games in their match-up against Vici Gaming yesterday. As we expected, both teams banned Elder Titan in the first game.
PSG.LGD grabbed Tuskar and won the game for EHOME because EHOME was running 3-1-1 formation, putting two supports and first position in the off lane and the other two cores on middle and bottom lanes.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
PSG.LGD forced the two supports from Vici Gaming to the top lane, making sure that their carry, Terrorblade, got some farm in the laning phase. However, Fy, the position four support player from PSG.LGD played Tuskar incredibly, zoning out the supports in the laning phase with the help from Lion and Juggernaut.
Terrorblade was forced to hide in jungle because he could not get any farm in the lane against Tuskar, Lion and Juggernaut.
Vici Gaming called GG when Juggernaut went unstoppable and had 739 gold per minute by the end of the game.
In game two, both teams failed to ban Elder Titan and Tuskar. Both teams understood that they are getting one of the heroes to their side, Vici Gaming snatched Elder Titan and PSG.LGD grabbed Tuskar again in game two.
Although Vici Gaming picked Elder Titan, PSG.LGD did not let them have Faceless Void by banning him in the second banning phase.
PSG.LGD analysed the draft thoroughly and the combos Vici Gaming was trying to make. Vici Gaming picked Phantom Assassin as their carry and was not able to work a huge combo with Elder Titan.
Vici Gaming drafted very greedily in that game. They had Outworld Destroyer, Dark Seer and Phantom Assassin as their core heroes. PSG.LGD did not back away from securing map control and Vici Gaming had to split the resources to all three carries, resulting in Outworld Destroyer unable to do big impact in the team fight.

PSG.LGD punished their greediness by taking all the outer tower as soon as Luna came “online” after purchased his Manta Style.
Virtus Pro, this team whitewashed Evil Geniuses with 2-0 yesterday. Virtus Pro drafted 10 different heroes in the two games played against Evil Geniuses yesterday, they out-drafted Evil Geniuses in both games thanks to their strong heroes’ pool knowledge from their team members.
In the first game, they last picking the Outworld Destroyer and forced Evil Geniuses to put Nature Prophet in to position two because Tiny had no way to take advantage from Outworld Destroyer in the laning phase.
Despite Evil Geniuses made the changes to their draft, Noone, the position two player from Virtus Pro still crushed Nature Prophet in the laning phase by killing him two times before 5-minute marks.
Nature Prophet had no choice but to stay in jungle and farm while Outworld Destroyer had his good time farming the lane.
Virtus Pro certainly won the game when Outworld Destroyer had his Black King Bar and Scythe of Vyse by 26-minute mark. He hexed Juggernaut in every team fight afterwards and Juggernaut unable to cast his ultimate skill – Omnislash because he was hit to death before he recovered from the hex form.
In the game two, RAMZES666, the carry position player from the Virtus Pro went on rampage mode and wiping out whole Evil Geniuses squad with his Terrorblade.
Despite struggling in the laning phase, he still had a lot of space to farm in the game while Noone was creating space by taking all outer tower from Evil Geniuses with other supporters.
RAMZES666 accumulated a golds per minute of 895 in that game, had 6 slotted items by 36-minute marks.
Evil Geniuses cannot think of a way to clear the illusions of Terrorblade because there were too much different between their net worth and items.
After analysing the drafting abilities, we give PSG.LGD a 65% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go medium and bet on PSG.LGD to win the game at better than -114.94 or higher at?BetOnline.

]]>Forward Gaming and J.Storm will go to war on Tuesday afternoon in a one-game elimination match-up in the Lower Bracket of the Dota 2 Chongqing Major.
Forward Gaming has picked a lot of core heroes in its drafting tactics so far, including Outworld Destroyer, Juggernaut, Luna, Medusa, Terrorblade, Centaur Warchief and Dragon Knight. Although their drafting has at least accomplished according to the meta, they have failed to execute their plans in many match-ups.
In the game three against PSG.LGD, Forward Gaming picked Dazzle first. Yawar, the position one player from Forward Gaming, played the hero in that game. They were planning to win the game easily with their pushing strategy by drafting Dazzle, which worked along with Luna and Dragon Knight.
Dragon Knight is good at tanking and tear down tower slowly with his poison attack in the dragon form, while Luna is a hero that able to farm very fast and secure early Manta Style to push.

However, PSG.LGD crushed them by pressuring Luna in early stage of the game. Luna was forced to get Black King Bar as his first core item immediately after he purchased Mask of Madness. This significantly slowed down the momentum of Forward Gaming and PSG.LGD won the game when Luna met his 7 death in the game.
J.Storm was doing below what of us expected in their group stage, their drafts were not satisfied as they are having Fear, one of the top drafter in the world and also Demon, another experienced drafter coaching the team.
J.Storm was poor in the group stage, losing all four games they played against Vici Gaming and The Pango.

Despite being the weakest team in Group C, they should perform better in this match. Even Thunder Predator, the weakest and the only tier 2 team in this tournament, has one win against Forward Gaming in the group stage.
J.Storm have centred their draft tactics around the Sven pick. They always pick Sven first to confuse enemies and consistently place Sven on position one or support.
However, they drafted quite bad against Vici Gaming in the game one, Drow Ranger and Grimstroke being the only 2 range in the team is wasting the precision aura of Drow Ranger.
Precision Aura is Drow Ranger’s third ability to provide attack speed to all the range ally based on her agility. That aura only benefits the support hero, Grimstroke in that game and Grimstroke is not gaining much advantage from it because he is a skiller/mage who does not do much physical attack in team fight. J.Storm have to draft better
After running our eye through the drafting abilities and their performance in the group stage, we give Forward Gaming a 70% chance to win this match-up.
Considering this match-up is best-of-one series, our recommendation is to go low and bet on Forward Gaming to win the game at better than +200 or higher at?BetOnline.

Chaos Esports Club was showed strong draft tactics in the group stage, however, they were unable to come out on top because the struggled with the absolute meta of the patch.
W33 only played 1 hero that required micro-management skill, which was Visage. He should utilize his micro-management skill and pick Mepoo, Terrorblade or Phantom Lancer in this meta.
hFn, the carry position from Chaos Esports Club, played Naga Siren, one of the heroes that requires low management skills. They still managed to win the game against a stronger opponent – EHOME – in game one.
READ: LATEST ESPORTS NEWS
There are few reasons they won the game, because EHOME did not have much heroes able to clear the illusion of the Naga Siren until Anti-Mage had his core item. Before that, Naga Siren was free farming all over the map by sending his illusion to enemy jungle.
EHOME’s draft was meant to counter Mepoo, because they also aware that Mepoo is a strong hero in this meta and W33 being one of the masters of this hero, they had to pick accordingly.
Thanks to that, W33 gained advantage with the draft and won the game with Naga Siren madness farming up to 732 golds per minute by the end of the game.

Alliance’s drafts were more on relying on Qojqva’s micro-management skill which is an advantage to the team. Although Qojqva unable to play high skill hero such as Mepoo, but spamming Visage and Lone Druid is a way to win in this meta.
Alliance’s draft is better than Chaos Esports Club from what both teams displayed in the group stage.

Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go low and bet on Alliance to win the game at better than -200 or higher at?BetOnline.
