Phoenix Gaming parted ways with its entire Dota 2<\/a> roster in November and now field a new squad featuring unproven and young talent. Although a drastic change, Phoenix got their hands on some solid players and shouldn’t struggle at this level of play.<\/p>\n

Army Geniuses also made a couple of roster changes this offseason, adding two former Prime players in Muhammad “Azur4” Lutfi and Rizki “Varizh” Varizh, as replacements for Tri Daya “Mamang Daya” Pamungkas and Yukatheo “you_K” Glen. It’s unfair to judge the team before we see them play, but AG seem to have downgraded with the recent additions, which is concerning, knowing that they haven’t achieved much in 2021.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Gaming enter this match as underdogs, which likely has to do with the fact that they’re an unknown quality. But since Army Geniuses don’t look particularly strong, we have to take a shot with Phoenix Gaming at $3.20.<\/p>\n

KOBOLDS vs 496 GAMING Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

KOBOLDS enter this match on a three-game winning streak, with wins against Phoenix Gaming (2-0), Summit (2-0), and rush B (2-0). Although a solid record, the Mongolian squad weren’t impressive at the start of the month when they crashed out of Moon Studio Snow League in eighth place, with a 1-6-2 record.<\/p>\n

Still, KOBOLDS forced draws against both tournament finalists in LBZS and Execration and even the eventual bronze medalist, Ragdoll. So while KOBOLDS failed to win more than a game, they were highly competitive against all of the tournament’s top teams.<\/p>\n

496 Gaming, while a more recognisable name, hardly deserve to be priced as the favourites for this bout. They are in terrible form and have achieved far less than KOBOLDS recently, despite facing teams of similar quality. Most notably, 496 are 0-4 with a 1-8 map differential four rounds into Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Southeast Asia Tour 1 Division II.<\/p>\n

Based on what we have seen from 496, it’s hard to pass on KOBOLDS at the outsider odds.<\/p>\n

YANGON GALACTICOS vs KOBOLDS Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Dota 2 Betting Odds:<\/td>\nGalacticos +170 at BetOnline<\/a> | KOBOLDS +256 at BetOnline<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Yangon Galacticos added Aung “ShowTi” Myat Soe as their new no.3 at the start of December, and it soon became apparent that it was the right call. With the help of the 26-year-old Dota 2 veteran, Yangon finished top-four at Moon Studio Snow League last week, where their only defeat of the playoffs came against the eventual champions, LBZS.
\nStill, Yangon left a lot to be desired with their performance during the group stage, having managed only one win and seven draws (1-7-1), one of which came against KOBOLDS on December 7. The series ended in a 1-1 draw, but Yangon Galacticos were the better team and would have won the match had they not choked in the first map with a 9k net worth lead.<\/p>\n

We must give KOBOLD some praise for clawing their way back into that game, but that doesn’t mean they performed equally as well. KOBOLD proved that they could compete with any team at this level of play, but Yangon Galacticos at $2.70 is too good to pass. <\/p>\n
