NiP vs Viking.gg Preview and Prediction- Free Dota Betting Picks 8/15
Ninjas in Pyjamas and Viking.gg will face each other in the OMEGA League Europe Immortal Division Group B. The OMEGA League Europe Immortal Division has twelve CIS and European teams competing for a $500,000 prize pool. The teams for two groups with a single round-robin group stage. The top two teams advance to the upper bracket finals.
The Ninjas in Pyjamas is using Misha as a stand-in. NiP has had trouble finding a stable roster in the past few weeks. As the position 1 player, CharlieDota has been the bane of this team’s performance. The player reaches his peak items and levels very soon, allowing his team the necessary mid-game boost.
Viking.gg has been one of the best performing tier 2 teams in recent weeks. Coached by Immortalfaith, Viking.gg cruised through the closed qualifier. Now facing stronger opponents, Viking.gg can cause a few upsets in the tournament. The team recently defeated OG 2-0, in highlight-worthy gameplay.
Pick: Total Over 2.5 (+116 @ Pinnacle)
Between NiP’s roster instability and Viking.gg’s momentum, this match has all the makings of a thriller. I am taking Viking.gg to pose a strong challenge to NiP and take this series the distance of over 2.5 games.
