5men vs. B8 Preview & Prediction - Free Dota 2 Betting Picks 8/5

5men and B8 will face each other in the OMEGA League: Europe Closed qualifier. The European closed qualifier features sixteen teams playing in a round-robin group stage format. The top two teams advance to the upper bracket playoffs while the next two teams move to the lower bracket. The two best teams in the tournament will move forward to the Immortal Division.

5men is one of the favorites in this tournament. The team comprises players from Cloud9 and other teams coming together to participate in the OMEGA League: Europe Closed qualifier. With players such as Chessie, Misery and PieLieDie, this team does not lack experience. 5men already won its first groups tage game against Team TEMPO. The team had a heavy focus on teamfights and mobility with heroes like Phoenix, Queen of Pain and Faceless Void.

Dendi’s Dota 2 organization, B8 esports also includes former Na’Vi player, Crystallize. The duo have played together previously and have great synergy. But the team lacks other big-name players on its roster and will require some time to get going. The lack of experienced players also means the lack of a decent hero pool for most of its players.

Pick: Under 2.5 Games (-176 @ Pinnacle)

5men is a relatively new team but its players are in much better form compared to those from B8. Dendi and Crystallize are big names, but they lack the momentum and form require to easily defeat an opponent like 5men. I am taking this series to be under 2.5 games.
