Forutsigelse av kamp: G2.iG - LGD Gaming | Dota 2
ESL One - Kuala Lumpur 2023Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Back to ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 with betting tiers for the group stage. We're talking about Group B, where the second series of matches is getting ready for Long Sogneg.
In one of the parallel games of the second round of Group B, we will watch the Chinese derby. IG.G2 and LGD Gaming will hold their meeting. This will be the second match for the two teams. LGD played with Falcons, and IG.G2 played with Undying.
We're trying to see if either team can earn a clean win and move up in the standings, or if we're in for a fighting draw.
Let's go.
IG.G2 Form.
Let's open the match analysis with an analysis of IG.G2's form. In this match, bookmakers see the newly promoted tag as favourites, and the odds for their victory are at around 3.1.
In the first round of DPC 2023 Invictus Gaming took the top 6, almost losing their place in the top division, but they got through. Naturally, Major e was out of the question.
In the second round of DPC 2023: China Upper Division there was no talk about Major e either, but somehow Invictus Gaming got there. The team made it to the top-3 in the home league, only to fall to the ground: Invictus Gaming finished in the top-18 at Berlin Major 2023.
The third season of DPC gave hope for an IG comeback. IG went to Bali with a top-2 DPC in their pocket, but the curtain came down. The team finished top-18, thus failing to confirm their status as the top-2 team in China.
- IG lineup: Monet, NothingToSay, JT-, BoBoKa, xNova.
After a series of failures, which can be attributed to the failure at the qualifiers for The International 2023, IG completely rebuilt the roster, inviting all the top players from the region. Now the team has a lot of potential to fulfil.
In the first game at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, IG.G2 will play against Undying. In that match, we predict them to win.
IG.G2's most popular heroes
The most sought-after IG pic is Timbersaw. The character has appeared in the team's games 5 times and has a 60% win rate.
Other picks are Spirit Breaker (4 matches, 75% wins), Medusa (4 matches, 75% wins), Silencer (4 matches, 50% wins).
There was also Void Spirit (3 matches, 100% wins), Brewmaster (3 matches, 100% wins), Monkey King (3 matches, 66% wins).
LGD Gaming Form
We continue our match analysis with a breakdown of LGD Gaming's form. They will have to play as a number two in this match, and the odds for their success are at around 4.3.
LGD lacks stability and high-profile results in the 2023 season, but they are still working on the roster issues. It can be seen that the team is progressing and the results at the last international championships are proof of that.
Prior to the tournament in Riyadh, LGD's portfolio in 2023 consists of Top 3 regional league appearances: twice Top 1 (DPC 2023: Tour 1 and DPC 2023: Tour 3) and Top 2 at DPC 2023: Tour 2.
On the international stage, LGD fell to The Lima Major 2023, where they crashed out in the first round of play-offs. The second Major season was no better than the first, LGD once again flew away with a first round play-offs ranking in the top-12 at the tournament. In addition, the team missed DreamLeague S19.
- LGD roster: shiro, Emo, niu, Pyw, y`.
LGD's heyday was at DL S20, where the team made it to the play-offs of DreamLeague Season 20, which was the team's loudest result of the year. As a result, the Chinese finished in the top 3 at the prestigious championship.
Later, it was The Bali Major 2023, where LGD again performed well. At the last Major event of the season, the team finished in the top 6, losing in the match for the top 4 to Quest Esports.
On the eve of TI 12 LGD played at the most "money" tournament of the year - Riyadh Masters 2023. There the Chinese club showed a very mediocre game, leaving the tournament early at the TOP-12 stage.
The International 2023 itself is going easy for LGD so far. The top Chinese club has lost only 1 map so far and that in the group stage.
In the play-offs LGD confidently crush opponents one after another. First, they ran over 9Pandas, and then beat their compatriots from Azure Ray. In a wild pace they reached the match for the exit to the grand final, where they played against Spirit. There LGD lost with a score 0-2 and went to the final of the lower grid, where Ledge and Gladiators.
In the first match at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 LGD Gaming will meet Falcons. We believe that the new roster xiao8.
LGD's most popular heroes
The most frequent guest of LGD peaks at DreamLeague S20 is Techies (5 matches, 60% wins). Next are Void Spirit and Magnus with 4 matches and 75% wins.
Opponents should beware of Phantom Lancer (3 matches, 100% wins). Skywrath Mage (3 matches, 66% wins) and Ember Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins) are also peaking.
History of head-to-head meetings IG.G2 - LGD Gaming
The teams have played each other during the DPC era. LGD Gaming mostly won.
Predicted result of IG.G2 vs LGD Gaming at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023
Although IG.G2 is the favourite of the match, and they look much more attractive than LGD Gaming in terms of their roster, I'm betting on a draw in this match. It's all about xiao8 and his ability to create a capable team that can stand up to their colleagues in the region on equal terms, or even outplay them. But, it won't be enough for a clean win for LGD.
The result: a draw.
G2.iG is the 33rd team in the world ranking. After having a very unsuccessful qualification for The International 2023, being only in the 5th place, the organisation was forced to make some changes. But I personally didn't think that the entire roster would change, but how it did. They disbanded all the players, and instead of them took Monet, NTS, Jt, BoBoKa and xNova. Very promising roster.
LGD Gaming is the 5th team of the world ranking. They managed to reach 3rd place at The International 2023, but for some reason this did not satisfy the organisation and the players had to undergo changes. NTS(2) and Planet(4) left the team and were replaced by Emo and Pyw respectively. It's hard to speculate how much of an impact this will have on the team's performance, but it looks like an easing. Luckily for the team, they got into the tournament by direct invitational due to their merit in the previous tournament.
I can't say that the IG squad is unbeatable, and LGD reached 3rd place at TI and only replaced two players. Nevertheless, they are a rather weak outsider. I think they have the most favourable handicap.
I'm a prognosticator, it's what I do for a living. I devote all my time to it. I have no other interests.
I have been doing it for a long time and have achieved some success in it. Whether to believe me or not is up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
