www.grivaschess.com’s Dota 2 betting predictions for Wednesday focus on two PGL Season 14 DPC Southeast Asia fixtures featuring Fnatic, BOOM Esports, Execration and Vice Esports. Check out our best bets for those games, with top odds from GG Bet.

Fnatic will clash with BOOM Esports for the first time since September, when the Indonesian squad won 2-0. That marked BOOM’s sixth head-to-head victory of 2020 and their third in a row, having previously bested Fnatic 2-1 twice during ESL One Thailand 2020: Asia.

It’s fair to mention Fnatic had to play with two stand-ins – Lee “Forev” Sang-don and Kenny “Xepher” Deo – in their most recent bout with BOOM, so it’s not fair to criticise them too much for that loss. Fnatic have since acquired a veteran support in Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong and a talented offlaner in Natthaphon “Masaros” Ouanphakdee.

With those signings Fnatic look the stronger team, but at these betting odds we have to take a shot with the underdogs. BOOM have won at least one map against Fnatic in all but two of their 14 meetings in 2020 and have not lost once in their last six. Expect a close series.

Execration started their 2021 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) campaign with a 2-0 win against TNC Predator but were far less successful when faced with Fnatic (0-2) on Wednesday. Regardless, they seem to be in great shape and should be favoured to defeat the shaky Vice Esports, who enter this match with two 0-2 defeats against 496 Gaming and TNC Predator.

Despite Execration’s solid form, we can’t agree with the latest odds at Dota 2 betting sites which imply Vice Esports have only a 26.5% chance of winning. They might have not looked too sharp of late, but they shouldn’t be priced as high as they are.

Vice have beaten Execration twice in 2020 (2-1-6) and have won at least one map in all of their last four meetings. Execration should win, but we don’t expect to see a clean sweep.
