Prediction for the duel between Outsiders and Mind Games within the qualifiers for The International 2022 (Eastern Europe).
The Outsiders defeated PARI PARNI yesterday, rather weak ones, who were eliminated from the qualifiers today, which means that this result cannot be taken very seriously. Mind Games also beat PuckChamp, although it was 50/50 in terms of odds, there was faith in the new MG offlaner - bb3px, it is clear that the arrival of a new player refreshed the Mind Games team.

It seems that Mind Games was lucky with the first opponent, PuckChamp were somehow not ready, but then they confidently closed X3 with a score of 2:0. Outsiders have always been comfortable against PARI PARNI as gpk is stronger than depressed kid; Although RAMZES666 continues to play poorly, Outsiders' hard lane is incredibly cool and mid.
Used Outsiders heroes for The International 2022 qualifiers (Eastern Europe):
- RAMZES666: Medusa/Razor
- gpk: Necrophos/Lina
- DM: Dragon Knight/Doom
- yamich: Skywrath Mage/Wintern Wyvern
- Xakoda: Ogre Magi/Dragon Knight
Used Mind Games heroes for The International 2022 qualifiers (Eastern Europe):
- Dinozavrik: Alchemist/Ursa
- Ainkrad: Batrider/Lina
- bb3px: Viper/Underlord
- Bignum: Marci
- CemaTheSlayer: Disraptor/Clockwerk
Mind Games can take only 1 card due to the fact that Ainkrad stands up well against gpk and due to cheat strategies like with Alchemist/Lycan, you also need to rot RAMZES666 in the offlane and sanely stand up against DM.
Outsiders is singled out as a clear favorite, in principle, it is, but there is always a qualification factor in Eastern Europe and for some reason I want to believe in 1 card from Mind Games, but this is an incredibly risky outcome.
- Outsiders win - odds 1.098
- Mind Games win - odds 7.5
- Over 2.5 on cards - coefficient 2.99
- TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.36
At 2:0 from Outsiders - coefficient 1.45; 2 times the teams played each other and 2 times it was 2:0 in favor of the Outsiders.
In general, Mind Games always leads in the first map with the Outsiders, somewhere around 4-5 thousand, but then the Outsiders comeback and win. On the second MG they always swim and give back.
Prediction: Outsiders will win Mind Games with a score of 2:0 - odds 1.45
