What to Bet on July 23 in Dota 2? Top 5 Bets Known Only to Pros

On July 23, the Play-In stage of FISSURE Universe: Episode 6 kicks off. Teams will compete in the group stage in a Bo2 format. Below are five predictions for the opening matches with odds from Stake and a brief analysis of the current form of the participants.

AVULUS will defeat L1ga Team (odds 2.10)
AVULUS appear more organized and diverse in their drafts—they successfully adapt to opponents and often play at a fast pace. L1ga Team are still unstable and rely on a good start in the lanes. Against AVULUS's organized play, they will struggle.

Wildcard stronger than Yellow Submarine (odds 2.10)
  
Wildcard is a solid team with international experience, whereas Yellow Submarine relies on unconventional picks and individual moves. However, in a Bo2 format, stability is more important— Wildcard has more of it, giving them a good advantage.

1win Team will defeat MOUZ (odds 1.90)
1win Team shows confident macro play and stable laning. MOUZ, on the other hand, tends to falter in the mid-game stage and sometimes loses focus after the 20th minute. If 1win sets the pace, the opponent will have little chance to impose their style.

One Move will defeat L1ga Team (odds 2.15)
In the second match of the day, L1ga Team will once again find themselves at a disadvantage— One Move plays aggressively and likes to engage in early fights. Such styles suit them, and against L1ga's slow adaptive play, they will have the space to dominate.

AVULUS and Wildcard will draw (odds 2.00)
Two evenly matched teams with different styles: AVULUS prefers a fast pace, while Wildcard favors reliable late-game play. This creates conditions for a split map. In a Bo2 format, a draw is the most likely outcome given the current level of the teams.
