Reverse Heaven vs. Reckoning Esports Preview & Prediction - Free Dota 2 Betting Picks 7/27

Reverse Heaven and Reckoning Esports will face each other in the Yabo Ninja Championship. The Yabo Ninja Championship is a Southeast Asian Dota 2 tournament featuring Tier-2 Dota 2 teams from the region. The tournament has a $10,000 prize pool and twelve participants who are eager to win the first-place. The top two teams advance to the upper bracket with the next two moving on to the lower bracket.

Reverse Heaven is a Malaysian Dota 2 team that received a direct invite to the Yabo Ninja Championship. The tem has only played one match in this tournament against GoodFellaz. Reverse Heaven won the series with a 2-1 score. An analysis of the team’s performance in their opening match is the hero draft choice. The team usually picks heroes that have excellent synergy with each other. So a Magnus and a Phantom Assassin works wonders for the team as they can farm quickly and get crucial items and level on tier cores.

Reckoning Esports is predominantly an Indian roster. The team has played one game and it lost the series with an 0-2 score against MG.Trust. THe players don’t have a deep hero pool which impacts the team’s chances at success. They have picked heroes like MRas, Naga Siren which allow for excellent individual performances, but they lack the mid to late game teach chemistry that one expects from a professional team.

Pick: Over 2.5 (+136 @ Pinnacle)

Both teams are relatively inexperienced and lack the dominance to finish this series in two maps. Reckoning lacks the hero depth, but it makes up for it with individual plays and strong comfort heroes. Reverse Heaven usually puts a lot of thought and tactic into the draft phase. I am taking this series to go the distance and be over 2.5 games.
