IVY and Arcred. int will clash on Thursday, July 14, in the third round of 2022 Dota 2 Champions League Season 13. It will mark their first meeting in history and a match that should end in favor of IVY. Check the Dota 2 Champions League Betting Analysis below.
Arcred.int vs. IVY
Arcred.int are a newly formed stack of players with no past results under their belts. Meanwhile, IVY have already picked up their first win of the tournament, albeit it was a forfeit victory against Rune Eaters, who IVY were supposed to meet on Wednesday.
There are currently no available esports betting odds for the match, and it’s likely that they won’t come online until a day before the match.
IVY Beating Projections
But even without knowing what the esports odds will show, it’s fair to say that IVY will be a huge favorite.
That isn’t necessarily because IVY are a top-tier team, which they aren’t, but because of Arcred.int are just a stack of players rather than a proper team.
Moreover, IVY have previous experience competing in Tier-2 events, while Arcred.int have no official matches to their name.
IVY Analysis
IVY are an international Dota 2 roster that is mostly known for their participation in DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II, where they placed fourth.
Just two months earlier, IVY also attended ESL Meisterschaft Spring 2022, which they won with relative ease.
Even though IVY have achieved some success this year, it was mostly limited to third-tier events and a couple of qualifiers.
IVY Performance Recap
At the second tier, IVY have not achieved anything of note, and they’ve yet to appear in a proper Dota 2 competition.
They had come close, though, after nearly qualifying for the DPC WEU Division I, but they came out short in the end.
Nevertheless, IVY are still top dogs at this tournament, which features mostly unknown teams and semi-pro squads looking to make a name for themselves. And one of those teams is IVY’s next opponents, Arcred.int
Arcred.int Analysis
You might have never heard of Arcred.int, and you likely never saw this name mentioned in any esports betting guide, which isn’t surprising.
Arcred.int are a stack of amateur players, who have never appeared in an official Dota 2 match, making the Dota 2 Champions League their first chance to make a name for themselves.
Arcred.int Next Stage Expectation
However, if history has taught us anything, it’s unlikely for Arcred.int to achieve much. Luckily, two teams from each group will advance to the next stage, so Arcred.int might have a chance to at least reach the postseason; however, it’s unlikely for them to take games off proper teams such as IVY.
Injury Report
There are currently no updates on the teams. Both squads should have their full lineup ready for the upcoming match of Dota 2 Champions League Betting.
IVY vs. Arcred.int Betting Preview
It’s fun to cheer on the underdogs, but this is not a spot to do so. We don’t know much about Arcred.int, which could suggest that they’re better than expected. However, it’s highly doubtful for that to be the case.
IVY might be a tier-two team at best, but they have experience competing in proper events, whereas Arcred.int don’t, and this alone is enough to favor IVY for this match.
IVY vs. Arcred.int Betting Prediction
Had this been a best-of-one match, we would consider being on Arcred.int, but since it’s a Bo3, it’s hard to not back IVY.
They have not done much in the second tier of competitive Dota 2, but IVY have been competing with teams that eventually reached the top level, so they shouldn’t struggle against semi-pro stacks such as Arcred.int.
You could argue that IVY won’t care too much about this game and doesn’t give their all, but that’s not an angle we’re ready to follow.
Having failed to qualify for any meaningful events, the Champions League is the only thing IVY have on their schedules; therefore, it’s fair to expect them to show what they’ve got.
How to bet on IVY vs Arcred.int
We don’t need to do anything fancy here. A moneyline bet on IVY doesn’t appeal too much due to the low odds, but we’re ready to back them with a -1.5 map handicap. They’re vastly superior to Arcred.int and shouldn’t be losing a single map, let alone the series.
