The squad, which has also qualified for MDL Disneyland Paris Major and will line up at ESL One Birmingham 2019 in the next week, has started out its current campaign in strong fashion.
Yesterday, they started their match in the group stage by destroying both Signify and Mineski, 2-0.
After taking down both teams they advanced to the Upper Bracket of the playoffs and will await the second seeder from Group B, which we’re tipping will be TNC Predator.
Keen Gaming whitewashed Signify within an hour. Both the first game and second games lasted just 22 minutes.
Keen Gaming spammed Disruptor and picked him first in both games. Signify is definitely not on their level and drafted Queen of Pain into Disruptor.

Dark, the support from Keen, then kept on aiming Queen of Pain and pinning him down in every team fight with his ultimate skill, Static Storm, to silence enemies in the effect area. Queen of Pain had to positioned herself very well in the team fight, but Tiny from Keen crushed him when she was looking out for Disruptor.
After taking down Signify, Keen Gaming moved on to tear down Mineski.
Mineski may be a better team than Signify, but Keen destroyed them without mercy.
In game one, they picked Disruptor first again and out-drafted Mineski by picking Anti-Mage last, after figuring out the only hero that can stop Anti-Mage from Mineski was Earth Spirit.
Anti-Mage was able to farm freely because it took at least three heroes to make a successful gank on him. Even Mineski was able to kill him in the end of the gank.

Mineski could not find a way to deal with Anti-Mage and called GG in game one.
Moving to game two, Mineski banned Disruptor at its first opportunity because they respected Dark’s skill with the hero. Dark then finally had the opportunity to play another hero, which was Silencer. Silencer is rarely seen in competitive scene in this current meta.
Keen drafted Silencer to counter Enigma because she can always cancel Enigma’s Blackhole with his ultimate skill, Global Silence, which silences enemies for six seconds.
After wrecking Mineski, Keen advanced to the playoffs and their next match starts on April 18, 2019 – 18:00 UTC+8.
]]>Two teams coming off disappointing losses, Natus Vincere (Navi) and Complexity Gaming (COL), will determine who will take on TNC Predator and who goes home when they meet in the ESL One Mumbai 2019 elimination match.
As we predicted yesterday, Navi lost their game against TEAM TEAM.
In yesterday’s bout, the Navi drafted DoomBringer, Oracle, Tiny, Juggernaut and Obsidian Destroyer in game one, which was a great draft but Misha, the position five support player from Navi, did not perform well.
SEE ALSO: LATEST ESPORTS BETTING TIPS
Sonneiko, the previous position five player from Navi, was one of the best in the game at playing Oracle. With that in mind, comparisons had been made between the new and old position five player from Navi, but Misha failed those expectations yesterday.
Sonneiko usually knows when to roam and cast his ultimate skill to save the hero who can contribute and turn the team fight into his favor, while Misha has been known confuse this tactic and cast the ultimate skill to save someone that doesn’t do much in the team fight.

COL displayed a better draft in their match against TNC Predator yesterday, using a total of 15 heroes in all three games played, none of them repeated. In game two they won against TNC Predator, drafting DoomBringer as position three.
We think both teams might try to snatch DoomBringer to their side, but we only recommend live betting on COL if Navi is unable to draft Razor or Lina for Magical to use.
Natus Vincere vs Complexity Gaming betting prediction
After running our eye through their heroes’ pool knowledge and drafting style from yesterday’s matches, we give COL a 65% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go high and bet on COL to win the match at $2.10 with GG Bet.
]]>The Pango, one of the best tier two squads from CIS, and Mineski, the best franchise in Malaysia, will play out what should be a fascinating best-of-three battle in Group B of ESL One Mumbai 2019.
The Pango recently made important roster changes, bringing in Bogdan “Iceberg” Vasilenko and XSsamp1Re to replace Aleksandr “Ceyler” Popov and Bakyt “Zayac” Emilzhanov. This is definitely bad news for the franchise as Zayac has been renowned for his use of Techies as a position four player.
Iceberg may be a better option compared to Ceyler because he is able to play with a wider range of heroes that include Invoker, Storm Spirit, Tiny, Zeus and others.
While the individuals coming into the team are capable, the synergy of the team as a whole has suffered. They were whitewashed by Alliance and Old But Gold in the GG.Bet Birmingham Invitational.
SEE ALSO: LATEST ESPORTS BETTING TIPS
XSsamp1Re, the current position four support player from the squad, played four different heroes out of five games at the GG.Bet Birmingham Invitational. Despite of his wide heroes pool knowledge, his team lost four games and only won against Natus Vincere with the pick of Nyx Assassin.
Based on his performance, we are labeling him as tier two support now.
Mineski is another squad that has made changes to its roster, recently taking in two Filipino stars, Ryan “Bimbo” Jay Qui (RagingPotato) and Michael “ninjaboogie” Ross Jr to replace Kim “Febby” Yong-min and Johan “pieliedie” ?str?m.
These roster changes are considered an improvement for Mineski because RagingPotato and Ninjaboogie come with stronger reputations and skill sets.

Although RagingPotato is not a complete support player and a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, his heroes pool knowledge is wide. So, we should be seeing more versatility from Mineski in drafting tactics.
Mineski’s most recent professional match was against TNC Predator in the finals of ESL One Birhamming 2019. They lost four games against TNC Predator, 0-2 in the second round of playoffs and another 0-3(TNC Predator had one-point lead in the final series) in the finals.
The Pango vs Mineski betting prediction
After running our eye through their performance with new roster and drafting abilities, we give Mineski a 60% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go low and bet on Mineski to win the match at $1.44 with GG Bet.
]]>While Complexity Gaming is battling it out with TNC Predator, two other Group A opponents will be out to settle old scores when Natus Vincere takes on TEAM TEAM at ESL One Mumbai.
Ever since Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao replaced Samuel “Sammyboy” Anderson in TEAM TEAM, the squad has been below the standard we expect from them.
While EternalEnVy may be one of the best dota 2 players in this arena, he is also one of the biggest “throwers” — someone who will swing for the fences and take on great risk in doing so.
Whether or not his inclusion has been a good thing for TEAM TEAM remains to be seen.
TEAM TEAM drafted Morphing as carry and Abaddon a lot in North America Qualifier of ESL One Birmingham 2019.

EternalEnVy’s fast response hand definitely allows him to play Morphing because he is always able to switch agility to strength before an enemy disables him.
Abaddon is also one of the best tiers supports in this patch after Team Secret and Team Liquid used him to great success in the DreamLeague Season 11.
Natus Vincere has brought their own indifferent form into the game, having been eliminated from ESL One Birmingham by Old But Gold in the group stage.
We expect Navi to lift their game and finish inside the top four here. Their recent drafts have been good and don’t need an overhaul.

Natus Vincere vs TEAM TEAM betting prediction
After analysing through their heroes’ pool knowledge and performance of late in ESL One Birmingham, we give TEAM TEAM a 70% chance to win this match-up.
Considering the payout odds, our recommendation is to go medium and bet on TEAM TEAM to win the game at $2.10 with GG Bet.
That being said, we still recommend live betting on Natus Vincere if they are drafting Lina or Razor for Magical, the mid-laner from the squad, because Natus Vincere never picked the hero for Magical in ESL One Birmingham. His Razor and Lina definitely have high chance to carry the squad to win against TEAM TEAM.
]]>Group A rivals Complexity Gaming (COL) and TNC Predator will go to war in a best-of-three series in their opening match of ESL One Mumbai 2019.
Coming into this campaign, COL’s performance has been among the best we’ve seen in the Dota 2 world. Their performances at the North America Regional Qualifiers for MDL Paris Major 2019 and ESL One Birmingham 2019 were very impressive.
Complexity was the first team to advance into the main tournament of MDL Paris Major 2019 from their region and placed second in the qualifier of ESL One Birmingham 2019.
Without any further uncertainty in their roster, they could definitely become a consistent top 20 team in Dota 2.
Looking back at the draft Complexity displayed in ESL One Birmingham 2019, they refrained from picking the same heroes too often, except Phoenix (support) and Juggernaut (carry) were picked in three games.
SEE ALSO: LATEST ESPORTS BETTING TIPS
TNC Predator should focus on countering these heroes or banning them before COL have a chance to grab them.
COL also showed a huge knowledge pool for carry heroes including Medusa, Tiny, Dragon Knight, Axe, Anti-Mage, Razor, Terrorblade, Sniper, Morphing and other favourite heroes.
TNC Predator also showed decent form in qualifying for the tournament from the SouthEast Asia Region. They went unbeaten in their campaign in six games.
TNC beat the Tigers 2-0, then whitewashed Mineski 2-0 in second round and beat down Mineski 3-0 in final.
Phoenix is also one of the favourite heroes from TNC Predator, we recommend live betting on TNC Predator if they able to draft him to their side.
