Dota 2: Vici Gaming vs Yakult Brothers (BO3) - Games of the Future Playoffs


Game context
Vici Gaming enters this Games of the Future 2026 quarterfinal BO3 as the clear favorite against Yakult Brothers, reflecting stronger recent form and roster stability after adding player Zhao XinQ and capturing the ESL Challenger China Season 3 title in May. VG has posted competitive results in international events, including a reverse-sweep upset of 1w Team to reach Esports World Cup playoffs and strong showings against top squads. Yakult Brothers, ranked lower, have shown upset capability in head-to-head matchups, including a 2-1 win over VG in the TI 2026 China qualifier, though they trail in overall experience and recent tournament depth. The series timing and both teams' Chinese Dota 2 pedigree keep the matchup focused on execution in a high-stakes playoff setting.
