ViKin.gg vs OG: OG's last journey

The qualifiers for The International 10 in the Europe region begin on July 7. OG are embarking on their final trip with this lineup. This World Championship should be the most emotional one for OG, the guys realize they are unlikely to find the motivation to play another year. But they need to make it to this tournament first. Will they succeed? It's that final shot, that last journey of the two-time world champions that we'll be watching very soon.

ViKin.gg: the team is ready for a comeback

ViKin.gg made a spotty change after dropping out of the first division of European Dota Pro Circuit 2021, changing its hardliners. After the arrival of KheZu, the team started playing again and quickly returned to its level. This guys took first place in the second division without any problems, played well in a few tier-2 tournaments, and looked very good overall. At IEM Summer 2021 the team looked good, but it was very difficult for them against the draw-1 teams. They have good ideas and strategies, but sometimes the individual skill is not enough to achieve really high results. The team will have a chance in the bottom set to go pretty far, most likely almost to the final day, but their passage to The International and victory over OG is not believable at all.

OG: do they have a secret plan?

For OG, this will be the last time we will see this lineup at The International 10. More than half of the players will either end their careers or take a break, but this is the last we will see of OG. But first, of course, they have to qualify for The International 10. At first glance, there are only two opponents for the qualifiers: Team Liquid and Nigma. There are also two teams in the second tier that may surprise you, you can include Vikin.gg or Tundra Esports, but I have less confidence in them. From the good news for OG, it's the return of their psychologist, with whom they won TI9. From the last matches, we can conclude that OG have lost their tempo game. The team became very soft at the beginning of the game, they get kicked by everyone and that's what the guys have to fix first. I think on the verge of collapse, failure, relegation OG will play better. And they will start with a confident victory over ViKin.gg.

Experts betting tips

OG in the last tournament looked pretty good already. Plus they added a psychologist, which should help the team. In the first match they got a tough opponent, but passable. In my opinion, such a difficult situation will be good for OG and they will start with a victory in these qualifiers.

Bookmakers are offering odds of 1.45 on an OG victory, which looks like a good option. You can also take the Total Maps Played under 2.5 bet for odds of 1.75;
