Virtus.pro kicked off this tournament with a confident win over Team Zero, which came as no great surprise, but the win over Team Spirit could be a sensation, especially after the defeat of Natus Vincere. After their match against the Dragons, many believed in the Bears, but in their next game, they were defeated by LGD Gaming, which sent them straight to the bottom of the standings.
The Bears failed at the Riyadh Masters, and we won't see them at TI13 either, so it's not surprising that the roster was changed immediately. There were many rumors about replacements and a new roster, but Virtus.pro will play in the Chinese tournament with only two substitutes.
At the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational LAN tournament in China, Vladislav Rein Kosygin and Dmitriy DR.bum Tazhiba will take over the Bears' support positions. The carry trio remains unchanged, which could be temporary if the Russians fail to make the tournament.
Talon Esport
The Asian team is a pleasant surprise. Yes, they failed to qualify for the Riyadh Masters, but at TI13, they were the first to win one of the regional places and finally beat Aurora, the region's leading team, in a game.
The tournament in China is the team's dress rehearsal for The International, but things have not gone well so far. The Asian side crashed out of the Clavision Snow Ruyi Invitational group stage, losing all four matches and picking up two maps from their opponents. Such a record does not bode well for the Asian team's playoff hopes, but they will not go down without a fight.
Expert Betting Tips
It is worth noting that despite Talon Esports' failures in the group stage, they are the bookmakers' favorites for the upcoming battle. Yes, the VP players are inconsistent but look more interesting than the Asian team in this tournament.
