Forutsigelse av kamp: TSM - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2
DreamLeague Season 19 - Group Stage 2Hello on EgamersWorld.
DreamLeague S19 continues and as part of our review of the tournament we've prepared a betting tip on the TSM - Evil Geniuses match, closing out match day. From the looks of things, it should be The International heresy.
We have watched the teams play for two days, analyzing what happens directly on Stage 2, and before that we have watched the teams in the regional leagues and international tournaments. We have made a portrait of the clubs playing and now we will tell you what to expect from this match - and which bet is the safest option.
Forward.
Form EG
Let's start the parsing of the match between EG and TSM with the form of the former, who are the rated favourites here. The odds for the Evil Geniuses victory hover around 1.6 to 1.7.
The favourites are nominal because of the general atmosphere in the championship. On the Long Conduit 3 game day, all DreamLeague Season 19 competitors have 1-1 series stats, and that sends us to Long Conduit Stage 2.
Considering more substantive things than atmosphere, EG are slightly ahead because of their performance on the international stage. Having been top-2 twice in South America, the "evil geniuses" made it to the top-6 of The Lima Major 2023, something TSM cannot boast of.
EG has an experienced enough squad and a combative playstyle that allows them to score points. However, it's often the performers that can be attributed to EG's failures.
- EG: Pakazs, Chris Luck, Wisper, Matthew, Pandaboo .
A prime example of the rare irresponsibility of Evil Geniuses players could be seen in the game against Beastcoast, with which the "evil geniuses" opened the second stage of DreamLeague S19.
The team's headliner remains Wisper, who seems to be comfortable in every situation, ensuring victories for his team.
The most popular Evil Geniuses characters
The top three most popular Evil Geniuses characters are Leshrac, Riki and Primal Beast. All have appeared 4 times and won 3 matches each.
Also in spades were Batrider and Jakiro, who each won 3 out of 3 matches. Marci, IO, Death Prophet have 100% win rate,
Ready to call EG the winner of the match - bet on their success with odds around 1.6. Otherwise, take a look at TSM's match form below.
TSM Form
Opposing Evil Geniuses will be TSM, who are in underdog status here. The odds for a TSM win against EG are somewhere around 2, which does, however, give an idea of the closeness of the teams in terms of play.
And things are really quite tight, as 8 teams have 1-1 stats. This suggests that the trend will continue and all teams will equally qualify for the play-offs.
As for TSM, they seemed to be the weakest team in the race before Long Conger Stage 2, unable to compete with the rest of the teams. The reason was seen to be the inexperienced composition of TSM.
- TSM line-up: Timado, Bryle, Kasane, Ari, Whitemon
Kasane and Ari were doubtful at the Long Stage of the season and continued to be doubtful despite winning North America DPC 2023: Tour I, next came The Lima Major 2023 where TSM crashed to their core without qualifying. However, after gaining experience against world-class teams, TSM made a great comeback before and at DreamLeague S19.
The team won the second round of the DPC and qualified for the second stage of DreamLeague S19 as the strongest team in the three-round tournament. Handled the bo1 format and are well on their way to the bo3 stage, beating their South American counterparts from Beastcoast.
Most popular TSM characters
Most picked characters Rubick (9 matches, 77% win rate), Tusk (6 matches, 83% win rate), Tusk (6 matches, 83% win rate), Lycan (5 games, 80% win rate), Beastmaster (4 matches, 75% win rate), Disruptor (4 matches, 75% win rate).
If you believe in TSM's success against another American team, bet on Timado and company to win at odds in the region of 2.
If you are still not prepared to make a choice, take a look at the history of face-offs between the teams. It's all pretty straightforward there.
History of TSM vs Evil Geniuses face-offs
The teams have played each other in BTS Pro Series 13: Americas, The Lima Major 2023 and DreamLeague S19. Only here, on DL S19, did TSM manage to take their first card. Prior to that, they had lost all their matches.
The outcome of the match
Given the history of personal confrontations and the general trend of the tournament, I see the most suitable option as a bet on EG victory. However, the risk remains, and therefore I can offer +1.5 on TSM.
After the TSM - beastcoast game, there is no doubt that the North American residents can outplay their South American counterparts. As a result, a +1.5 handicap on TSM.
The result: +1.5 on TSM.
