Virtus.pro enter this match with a perfect 2-0 record, having already beaten AS Monaco Gambit (2-1) and PuckChamp (2-0). At the start of the month VP were also seen at the ONE Esports Singapore Major, where they finished seventh-eighth after losing to PSG.LGD (0-2) and Thunder Predator (0-2).
Regardless of that mediocre finish, VP are still one of the best Dota 2 teams in the region and one of the favourites to win this tournament. Their next opponents, Team Unique, are anything but that and enter this match off a 2-1 victory against PuckChamp and a 1-2 loss to Winstrike.
Virtus.pro might be stronger than Team Unique, but they definitely shouldn’t be priced as low as -1111.11. Team Unique performed solid in their 0-2 loss to Team Spirit just two weeks ago, when they would have easily won the first map had they not lost one crucial team fight.
VP won this matchup 2-0 back in February, but Unique have since improved and should look better this time. At the offered Dota 2 betting odds, we have to take a shot with the outsiders to win at least one map.

AS Monaco have yet to win a single match this tournament, although they had to face Virtus.pro (1-2), Team Spirit (1-2), and Natus Vincere (0-2). Having already met three CIS top dogs, Gambit can now focus on picking up what should be easy points against the weaker sides.
Winstrike were far more successful in their opening three bouts, having beaten EXTREMUM (2-1) and Team Unique (2-1). Even though they lost to Team Spirit (1-2) last week, it was still a solid showing from Maxim “re1bl” Afanasyev and his crew.
AS Monaco Gambit are priced as massive favourites, largely due to their success at the Singapore Major, where they beat Team Nigma (2-0) and Team Liquid (2-0). Regardless of those results, we don’t expect them to stomp Winstrike.
Unless there’s a complete mismatch, these CIS Dota 2 clashes are generally very close. AS Monaco Gambit should still win, but it won’t be a clean sweep.
