[DOTA 2] My picks and predictions for Day 1 of Bukovel Minor:
Ninjas in Pyjamas - Geek Fam: Geek Fam, 2.14 @
BetOnBitTeam Spirit - Royal Never Give Up: Royal Never Give Up -1.5, 1.83 @
BetOnBitFighting PandaS - Nigma: Nigma -1.5, 1.57 @
BetOnBitGambit Esports - FURIA Esports: Gambit Esports -1.5, 1.47 @
BetOnBitThis is the first match of the group A. Geek Fam has gathered a decent squad for new season consisting of some ex fnatic and TNC players. On the other side NiP are entering this year with a new carry player. Let’s keep in mind, this is best of 3 match. Even tho NiP are favourites here on the paper, i would give some credits to Geek Fam, as they have very decent lineup. Odds on Geek Fam are amazing, but that bet is very risky. Maybe safer bet would be Over 2.5 maps.
RNG is in the top 3 favourites to win the tournament. I can’t give much chance to Team Spirit in this stage of the new season. They have pretty okay roster, young lineup, but RNG’s lineup looks very strong on the paper. RNG for the win here.
Nigma is ex Team Liquid. The International champions winners vs mixed american squad. Even tho they have 1 new player in terms of w33, they should be able to dominate this match, and mostly the tournament. They are the favourites to win it all.
Gambit is just right behind the Nigma, in terms of the favourites for the Bukovel Minor. They are pretty amazing run in the last few months, finishing top 3 in some big major tournaments. On the other side Furia as a brazilian squad hasn’t done anything yet in the Dota 2 scene and i don’t see potential here. They are the weakest tournament of the team and i think they will finish they Bukovel Minor tournament run with last place in their group B.
