With the group stages for The International 2018 just a few days away, the time has come for us to finalize our predictions for the upcoming tournament. And since this is one of the last chances for Dota 2 players to get their hands on free Battle Pass levels, we would like to help to the community out by bringing you a detailed blog featuring the predictions from some of the most popular Dota 2 personalities. Hopefully, this will help you figure out which predictions to make if you are unsure.

Dota 2 The International 2018

Like previous years, all Battle Pass holders are granted the ability to make a total of 40 different predictions for the duration of The International tournament. Each of these predictions, if guessed correctly, allow players to attain additional Battle Pass points. As a result, everyone wants to make the most out of this as gaining levels in the Battle Pass can be quite the grind and this is something which can significantly reduce that.

However, with the Dota 2 pro scene ever changing, making these predictions can be quite difficult, especially for someone who has not been following the pro matches. Well, if you are having trouble making these predictions, do not worry. We have scavenged through different threads and social media to bring you a list of predictions from some of the biggest Dota 2 personalities. This includes Merlini, TobiWan, BSJ, and Synderen.

So, without taking any more of your time, let us get on with the Dota 2 The International 2018 Predictions:
