the strongest team in Group A, followed by Pain Gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Pain Gaming was one of the participants in The International 8, but has since a roster change since with Misery, the fifth support position player of Pain Gaming, replacing Duster, the former supporter of Pain Gaming. The replacement is actually working out well for this team. Pain Gaming is the first seed qualified from the South America Region Qualifier.<\/p>\n<p>Ninja in Pyjamas, a team making its debut after The International 8 is a hard one to guage. PPD, the captain as well as the fifth position in this team, created the squad with 33, the only former teammate from Optic Gaming, and he made a request from Saksa to be NIP\u2019s core supporter. He also invited both carry and mid laner from Team Secret \u2014 Ace and Fata.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"eSports bookmaker guide\" href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/sites\/\">Which bookmaker provides the best DOTA 2 markets? Find the right eSports bookie here<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>PPD, Saksa, 33, Ace and Fata are definitely a tier 1 team and although Team NIP will play without 33 in this tournament (Mind Control will stand-in for him), they are still a team that consists of five strong tier 1 players and we should expect strong results from them.<\/p>\n<p>J.Storm, probably the weakest team in Group A, do have some recent good form.<\/p>\n<p>The Storm qualified for the Kuala Lumpur Major Main Event by taking down Complexity Gaming in its North America Region Qualifier. Despite the victory, Complexity Gaming&#8217;s own problems of late make us cautious of betting on J.Storm at this stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking ahead to the 2018 Kuala Lumpur Major, we take a look at the teams within Group A and provide some team and betting analysis for Dota 2 punters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":5945,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[17,4,487],"class_list":["post-5955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-predictions","tag-dota-2","tag-featured","tag-kuala-lumpur-major"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5955"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5968,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5955\/revisions\/5968"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
