Outsiders vs Royal Never Give Up Prediction: RAMZES666 is ready to show his best game

One of the most important international Dota 2 tournaments with major status, the PGL Arlington Major 2022, will begin in the United States on Thursday, August 04. The Outsiders and Royal Never Give Up will play in the first round of the group stage.

PGL Arlington Major 2022 is a major international cyber-sports tournament in Dota 2 with the status of the major. The tournament in the U.S. will be the second and final major event of the 2021/22 DPC cycle. The top 17 teams from around the world will compete for $500,000 and 4,570 DPC points from August 04-14.

The long-suffering Bears are finally reaching their peak form. The DPC spring tour of the league for the Russian team was awful. In the first game, Pure was disqualified for his "drawing" on the minimap and was subsequently expelled from the organization.

VP kept silent for a long time and. At the beginning of the summer tour, they announced their rescue plan. The legendary RAMZES666 returned to his home team. Many no longer believed in Roman, but he proved with his play that he was ready to break into the elite of the Dota scene again, not just to take money from advertising contracts. Outsiders sensationally won the Eastern European DPC League summer tour, beating NaVi and Team Spirit in the championship replay. Notably, the Bears only lost to NaVi in the regular season, but the VP players themselves reported that they played that day in poor health.

It's very important that the full roster of Outsiders came to the United States. All of the Russian players received visas, which means that VP will show their best. Towards the end of the summer tour, the guys made a crazy run, which we hope they will carry over to the majors.

Outsiders is a tag created by Virtus.pro after the start of Russia's special operation in Ukraine. Because Virtus.pro's ownership group has ties to companies and individuals under sanctions from the American and European governments, the Outsiders tag was created as a neutral name for the team and now gives it the right to participate in major cybersports tournaments.

Dota 2 fans will finally get a chance to see live what the Chinese teams can do on the international scene in 2022. At the major will be the second appearance in the international Chinese, and lift the veil of mystery players RNG and PSG.LGD in late July on Arab soil in the Riyadh Masters 2022, where the latter were the winners. Though the RNG players made the playoffs, they failed in the quarterfinals against Team Spirit (1:2).

In the U.S., the Royal Never Give Up team didn't make it as a full squad. Ghost, the main Malaysian carry, couldn't get a visa, and the organization asked the legendary Australian ana to play in the majors as a substitute. The two-time IT champion is no longer in the form to be admired as he was in 2018-2019, but the four Chinese RNG players are capable of adjusting to a specific carry.

In the 2021 offseason, the organization strengthened its roster, and the results came. The RNG players finished third in the Winter Regional League and second in the Regional Finals (mini-tournament instead of the majors). The RNG squad could qualify for the majors (which Chinese teams didn't qualify for) in the DPC Spring round, but they did so in a very uncertain manner. First, the championship end was a disaster as they lost all the matches to their direct rivals 2-0 - these were the games against PSG LGD, Aster, and Xtreme Gaming. The management of the Royal Club could not watch as their brainchild, just beginning to show something in 2022, is crumbling before their eyes and after the regional league made replacements.

RNG now has kaka in 4th position and former SAG player Ghost in 1st position. The first "battle" test was unsuccessful because the renewed RNG squad failed the second regional final, losing two matches to PSG LGD (0:2) and Xtreme Gaming (1:2), thus settling for only the fourth position in the important mini-tournament of the last spring. But there were positive moments in the offseason! Royal Never Give Up won the tournament Gamers Without Borders, which included the Chinese and Asian teams, and in the Grand Final, they defeated BOOM Esports (2-0), the participants of the Majors.

But the most important thing this summer for Royal Never Give Up was winning its third summer tourney championship. The team lost only PSG LGD (0:2) and sensationally Dandelion Esport Club (0:2), which was good for the team and did not mean anything.

I'll predict a win for the Outsiders for 1.83. This is not just a bet on luck! First of all, Royal Never Give Up is not a very stable team right now, and it will also be the first match against ana, who did not look very good at the tournament in the UAE. Plus, we shouldn't forget that RAMZES666 is on his favorite majors, where he often gets lucky.

The Outsiders team comes in as the underdog in this match. I propose to bet on their victory on the first map. RAMZES666 and Co purposefully prepared, and Royal Never Give Up with ana still needs to play. The odds of VP success on the first map are 1.87.

If you're too shy, you can get a handicap 1 (2.5) frags on the first map for 1.79.
