The International 10 betting picks – Wednesday, October 13

After hitting all three of our betting predictions for The International 10 last Saturday for a healthy profit of 4.25 units, Esportbet returns with another pair of TI10 betting picks for Wednesday, October 13. Here are our selections for PSG.LGD vs T1 and Virtus.pro vs Vici Gaming.


We rarely see such a hefty price gap for a match in the upper bracket playoffs at The International, but considering how much stronger PSG.LGD are than the rest of the field, the latest Dota 2 betting odds make sense. The Chinese representatives have yet to taste defeat, ending the group stage with a remarkable 7-1-0 record and 15-1 in maps.

The only team that caused them issues was Team Secret, which is hardly concerning. On the other side, T1 have managed a 5-0-3 record in the group stage, which isn’t exactly terrible, seeing how they have only lost to three former TI champions, Evil Geniuses, Invictus Gaming, and OG.

T1 have yet to defeat PSG.LGD this year. However, the last three meetings all went the distance (1-2), so you have to have some faith in Nuengnara “23savage” Teeramahanon and his crew. We like the outsiders with a map advantage at +109.


The young and inexperienced roster of Virtus.pro exceeded expectations with their performances during the group stage. Even though they haven’t topped their group, the Russians did well enough to land in second place, with a 5-1-2 record.

That includes losses against T1 and Invictus Gaming and a draw against OG, which is still very decent. Vici Gaming have been just as impressive with their 4-2-2 record, which might seem worse on paper, but they’ve looked very good in their games.

Even though VP might have won against tougher opponents, we have to give Vici an edge, largely due to their experience playing big games. There is a world where VP surprise them with their innovative playstyle, but at +116, Vici Gaming are hard to pass on.
