It’s been just over a month since these teams last clashed on the battlefield at Realms Collide 2, when they parted ways with a 1-1 draw. That result, however, does not hold any value for our prediction considering Infinity Esports have since rebuilt their roster with Danilo “Arms” Silva and four semi-pro players.
Infinity have yet to play a single official match with their new roster, which is not optimal, however, they’re facing a squad that hasn’t done too well of late. Arms is also a very experienced Dota 2 player, which should help the underdogs have a tactical edge over their opponents, making them a solid longshot bet at the offered odds.

Like many other LATAM Dota2 teams, Incubus Club decided to freshen up their roster ahead of the 2021 season. With new faces on the team, it’s difficult to figure out how strong this team really is, but we can say for certain that they did not have enough time to gel together ahead of this bout.
Unlike Incubus, Latam Defenders should look much more cohesive since they haven’t made any changes to their squad. What’s more, they are in great form and hold a 4-1 record across the last 16 days.
This is a best-of-one (Bo1) fixture, so anything can happen, but we don’t believe Defenders should be priced as high as they are.

Team Unknown will clash with EgoBoys shortly after their bout with Infinity Esports in what should be a fairly easy win for Nicolás “Wij” Moreno and his crew. Unknown have won all but two of their eight meetings with EgoBoys throughout 2020, with the only exceptions being one stalemate and one 0-2 loss.
Their most recent bout happened just over three weeks ago, when Unknown swept EgoBoys 2-0 and ended the series with a combined kill score of 72-31. EgoBoys shortly after decided to rebuild their squad, which raises the same concerns we have with Incubus, on top of the fact they haven’t signed any big names.
Unless EgoBoys overperform, we don’t see how they can cause any serious issues to Unknown, who seem poised to secure their first head-to-head victory of 2021. Check out the top esports betting sites for to find the best Dota 2 odds.
