Tempest vs Natus Vincere Prediction: NaVi to earn two points

The International 2022: Last Chance Qualifier is a qualifier for The International 2022, the year's main event in Dota 2. Twelve teams from around the world will be competing for two slots in the main tournament. Last Chance Qualifier, like the entire The International 2022 tournament, is a LAN tournament that will take place in Singapore.

On October 8, Tempest and Natus Vincere will play their opening match in The International 2022: Last Chance Qualifier. Which of the teams will be stronger, we will find out very soon. The game is scheduled to start at 12:30 (UTC+3).

Tempest: it’s going to be hard

Tempest is one of the main outsiders in Group A. The rules of the tournament are constructed so that no team leaves the tournament at the end of the group stage. Nevertheless, it will be very difficult to count on the upper bracket. The team does not shine even in their own region. For example, the team failed to pass the closed qualifications for ESL One Malaysia 2022. Tempest only defeated Thunder, but that victory looked more like a fluke as Thunder won the next match 2-0 without any chances for their opponent. Due to the weakness of the region, Tempest was able to take third place in qualification for The International, but they lack experience in the international arena as well as the skill. Even a couple of maps won look like a great result for the team.

Natus Vincere: have to take points

Natus Vincere could not break through to the group stage of The International directly. The team took only the third place in the Eastern European qualification. This result was quite expected. Almost all experts quoted BetBoom Team and Virtus.pro higher. Of course, reaching the last chance stage is a normal result for the Ukrainian team. In addition, Natus Vincere was lucky with the group. The team must qualify for the playoffs. Apart from Team Secret and Vici Gaming, NaVi does not have many opponents. With all the other teams, the guys have to pick up points. The last international experience left a bad impression on Natus Vincere. The team managed not to get out of the group, where six teams out of eight get out. Nevertheless, the opponents in this stage are less dangerous. Natus Vincere must show what they have been doing in the allotted time and beat one of the main outsiders of the tournament.
