Forutsigelse av kamp: LGD Gaming - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2

We continue to review the first day of The International 2022. The group A match between Evil Geniuses and PSG.LGD is next

Behind the first rounds of TI and now we will follow the central games of the tours. In the third stream of games, PSG.LGD and EG risk becoming the main contender for a detailed analysis of their match.

We figure out who will win this match, if there is such a team at all.

Form PSG.LGD

PSG.LGD will be the favorite for the match. The chance of a team from China winning is estimated at around 1.8.

On PSG.LGD they give 1.8, which is already a sign for bo2 in the case of PSG. It's too early to thicken the clouds, but PSG.LGD do it for us.

In the first round of The International 2022, the team lost to Hokori. We lost not dry, still, but we gave the card away, and we gave it away so that it didn’t seem a little.

I don’t like to associate losses with some amorphous things like “early match, overslept, didn’t wake up” - this devalues the efforts of the second team, in our case Hokori, who really showed class and naturally outperformed one of the best teams in the world.

Results during The International 2022

Draw with Hokori 1-1

The selection of one match is not representative, but it's better than nothing. I repeat, PSG.LGD looked very sluggish in the match against the Peruvians: they lost on the first map as well, which instills even more distrust in the club.

PSG.LGD roster

• Ame
• NothingToSay
• Faith_bian
• XInQ
• y`

From the first match, we can say that Ame is still good, but you need to take a closer look at NTS. He is not playing at his peak, and it did not start at this The International.

Heroes PSG.LGD

The selection for one match will be useless, but we didn’t see anything supernova there. PSG.LGD played TB, Enigma, Zeus, Tiny (won). Lost on Void, Leshrac, Visage, Lich (lost)

They play the meta, they don’t invent anything, the result is obvious.

Evil Geniuses Form

Evil Geniuses will play as an outsider in this match. The chance of a North American club to win is estimated at odds of around 6.

I agree that EG is noticeably weaker on paper. This is evidenced by their performance during the season and team attitudes, which are very dependent on the outcome of the matches.

But that was before The International 2022, and now EG looked great in the first match. They did not play against a TOP club, but Hokori are far from such a title, right?

EG results during The International 2022

2-0 victory over Soniqs

In fact, there is nothing remarkable about EG's victory, but it gives food for thought. First of all, a good debut reveals the cards of EG, which will be discussed below.

Lineup EG

• Arteezy
• Abed
• nightfall
• Cr1t-
• Fly

The arrival of Fly will have a strong impact on EG, although it may not be noticeable in terms of performance. Fly is a person who can bring discipline to the team, and EG needs it.

Heroes Evil Geniuses

EG will play the role of “discoverers” in this tournament. In the first series, they showed Arc Warden and Broodmother in the offlane, which hints at a non-trivial approach to choosing heroes.

The main thing with this approach to pico-bans is not to fall into a trap. No one forbids playing “non-standard”, and if it works, then please, but the main thing is not to forget the basics and not get to HG without teleport scrolls.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams did not play each other in these lineups. This match will be the debut.

Match outcome

In this fight, I expect a beautiful DotA and, considering the first games, I'm ready to put a +1.5 handicap on EG. They played very fast, just like Hokori against PSG.LGD and it worked against the Chinese. Might work here too.

Result: +1.5 on Evil Geniuses.
