Neon Esports vs Winter Bear Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024 overview and predictions
Trending
Neon Esports had a decent run in post-TI Closed and Open Qualifiers before participating in the Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024. The SEA team had a good start in Games of the Future 2024, as they defeated Beastcoast 2-0 in the Opening Match. They qualified for the Decider Match to face the Chinese powerhouse, G2.iG/Invictus Gaming.
Surprisingly, Neon Esports won the first game but lost the next two, as their heroes were heavily controlled and snowballed by G2.iG's disable-based draft. That said, the team boasts players of tier 2 and 3 with a little overall competitive experience.
Winter Bear, on the other hand, had a terrible start this season. They boast a bad competitive run in the MENA qualifiers and lost the opening game to Entity in Games of the Future 2024. In the Elimination Match, they managed to defeat One Move 2-1 and saved their tournament dream.
Usually, Neon Esports draft disable/high AOE teamfight-based heroes and have a restricted hero pool. If they find a way to outdraft Winter Bear's repetitive drafting pattern, they can easily subdue them and advance to the Quarterfinals
We predict that Neon Esports will defeat Winter Bear and move on to the Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024 Quarterfinals to face LGD Gaming.
