Betting on eSports: Odds and Markets

Analysis:
Team Spirit hasn't played online since the Epic League, they seem to be preparing for the next DPC event. There's also a new DotA 2 patch which includes Hoodwink to the Captain's mode giving them another hero to study whether to ban or pick or ignore. A lot of changes happen as well including the position of the outpost and neutral creeps.

Team Empire is definitely a great team, they don't have any problem beating teams on their tier but definitely cannot cope up with teams above their tier, Team Spirit is above them and therefore this will be a huge challenge for them considering that Spirit hasn't played for quite some time and they cannot study an old game 2 weeks ago, giving Team Spirit a huge advantage on this match.

Team Spirit will win this match, they are stronger as a team and as an individual. They won't have any problem.

Prediction:
Team Spirit to win (BIG Bet)
Team Spirit -1.5 (Small Bet)
