Tekcac: DreamLeague S11 Day 7 Predictions - Playoffs

Yaroslav "Tekcac" Petrushin, WePlay! Dota 2 caster, continues to delight us with his predictions for the DreamLeague Season 11 matches.

Team Secret vs J.Storm

The first match will be between the members of TI9 already and the team J.Storm. If someone doesn’t understand, the first is Team Secret. J.Storm has already proved that the victory over NaVi wasn't an accident, because in the Bo3-match they defeated Mineski in the dry series. I already bet against Fear twice, and now ... again I bet that they will lose. Anyway, the defeat of Vici Gaming doesn’t mean anything. Team Secret had the 21 maps winstrike. I am waiting for 2:0 here, but they won’t be so comfortable with resistance from Storms.

Evil Geniuses vs Virtus.pro

For the first time this season, one of these teams won’t be in the top 3. Let's remember what was in the Upper Bracket. EG simply beat Keen on the first map in 25 minutes, and everyone already thought: “well, another one will be the same”. Yeah, but not so fast. The team from Top-2 at WESG recovered from this slap on the second map and were able to win up to the thirtieth minute on the third map. Virtus.pro lost 0:2 to Fnatic in Winners’ match. What can I say? Well, the drafts were interesting.

Now, to the Lower Bracket: EG is beaten out their former captain ppd, but Virtus.pro has huge problems against the Brazilians, and they face a crushing defeat on the first map. They gathered on the second map and reached a confident 1:1 rhythm, but there were problems on the third map again. If Chaos EU hadn’t experienced extreme excitement, then w33 and his team could take this series. After these matches, I will bet on Evil Geniuses victory, and I won’t even be surprised at the 2:0 outcome. Apparently, this is the first Major Grand final in a season without “bears”.

Today's schedule:

Lower Bracket Round 3 [bo3]

13:30 CET — J.Storm vs Team Secret

16:30 CET —  Evil Geniuses vs Virtus.Pro
