China Dota 2 Winter Cup 2018 Groups Stage » Betting Tips
Dota 2 players have a lot of fun with their favorite game in December, while waiting for the major tournaments to return. For the time being, they can watch the live streams dedicated to the China Dota 2 Winter Cup 2018 Groups Stage. The tournament starts on December 13 and just as the name suggests it brings together some of the best teams from China. It is a rather exclusive event, with only eight teams participating and the total prize pool consists of $7500.
All participating teams benefited from direct invitations and they will be split into two identical groups of four players each. During the group stage all matches are played in a best of one series and the top two from each group will move on to the playoffs. The competition will maintain the basic format, with single elimination matches and best-of-five grand finals. The winners will collect nearly half of the prize pool, more precisely $3600, while the runner-up will have to settle for $2100 and the next two teams get $900.

Invictus Gaming Hope for More MOBA Success
In the first match of the group stage, Invictus Gaming are hoping for a positive start, after their League of Legends team has won the most important tournament in 2018. Bet-at-home credits them with the first chance in the match played against CDEC, although the difference is negligible. Punters enjoy odds of 7/10 on the favorites to win, while their opponents get even odds on the same result. ArcaneBet punters can also bet on special markets and enjoy identical odds of 9/10 on the first blood and first to 10 kills.
Team Root is expected to make a deep run in the China Dota 2 Winter Cup 2018 and cruise past Mr GameBoy in the opening match. Esportsbetting.com prices them at 1/2, which means that their opponents’ odds currently revolve around 3/2. Things can definitely change as kickoff draws near, with the trend suggesting dropping odds on the favourites.
Double Trouble for Keen Gaming and Newbie
The two Dota 2 clubs are about to ignite a new rivalry, as their flagship teams and the second tier squads lock horns this week. In the first match of the day, Newbie is credited with the first chance by GG.bet and odds of 1/2 to win the opening match against Keen Gaming Luminosity. Those who would rather bet on the underdogs to cause a surprise early in the tournament get odds of 3/2.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the most lopsided match of this phase of the competition, the one between Keen Gaming and Newbie Young. Betway only offers odds of 3/10 on Keen Gaming to prevail and since this is the best of one series, one can’t bet on the spread. On the other hand, those who seek the best return on investment and don’t mind taking bigger chances can back the underdogs. The odds on Newbie Young to cause an upset are priced at 23/10 by Rivalry.
