?HYDRA are a middle-of-the-pack team and hardly more than that. They have managed a 2-3 record so far with solid showings against weaker teams and less-than-convincing performances against Dota 2 Champions League Season 6 top dogs.
Meanwhile, Brame are 4-1 after five rounds of play, with only one defeat against X3 (0-2) at the start of the month. Their only other shaky performance of the tournament came just over a week ago when Brame dropped a map against IVY (2-1).
HYDRA won this bout in November (2-1), but it was close. We expect a similar scenario to unfold on Wednesday, and while we prefer Brame, it likely won’t be a clean sweep.

With a 0-6 record and a 2-12 map differential, IVY are guaranteed to finish this tournament in the bottom five. Meanwhile, V-Gaming still have a shot at making it into the playoffs, but they still need to win at least two games.
IVY might have the worst record at the tournament, but their performance against CIS Rejects (1-2) on Saturday gives us hope that IVY might be able to cause some damage against V-Gaming, who struggled a bit against HYDRA (2-1) and Nemiga Gaming (0-2) last week.
V-Gaming should still win, and it wouldn’t surprise us if they manage to do it in straight maps. However, IVY can have their moments and are a solid value pick with a map advantage.

FANTASTIC FIVE vs TEAM EMPIRE Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Dota 2 Odds: | F5 $2.51 at GG Bet | Empire $1.50 at GG Bet |

Considering how inconsistent Team Empire have been this season, it may be wiser to avoid betting on the games they’re involved in. However, it’s hard to ignore a match where you’re getting $2.51 on Fantastic Five to hand Empire their fifth loss of the tournament.
We expect Team Empire and Fantastic Five to finish inside the bottom five, and if we had to pick which team is better, there would be no clear answer. Team Empire might have more individual talent, but the Russian-Ukrainian roster is not living up to its potential.
Fantastic Five at $2.51 to cause an upset is too good to pass on.
