TI10: Elephant is an extremely incomprehensible team at this tournament

The Elephant team may well take a high place at The International 10 - they are the ones that will be discussed in this article. Elephant qualified for this championship following the results of the Chinese qualifier, beating EHOME in the final.
I would like to recall one moment about the Elephant players, when they were still playing under the LGD tag in 2020, they lost their chances of reaching The International, losing in the open qualifier. Despite all the names and past achievements, in 2020 they might not make it to The International.
In general, during the season, Elephant changed the roster minimally, Super plays on the top five instead of RedPanda, and rOtK became the coach.
Elephant Results 2021

- 3rd place at FMWH Dota2 Championship Season 3 - Online
- 5th place in the second season of the first division - DPC (China) - Online/LAN
- 1st Place in China Qualifier for The International 10 - Online
- 7th place at i-League 2021 Season 1 - Online/LAN
- 2nd place at OGA Dota PIT Season 5 China - Online
- 4th place at i-League 2021 Season 2 - Online/LAN
My main thought, which will be in all articles: The International is a tournament of a different scale, it cannot be compared with anything else. Any player will have their hands shaking when the prize pool is $ 40 million, and the value of one best of 3-series or card in the group stage reaches over a million dollars.

At international tournaments, Elephant did not show much, since they did not play outside their region due to COVID-19 and so on. This should definitely affect this The International 10, the most serious result of the team is the victory in the Chinese qualifier for TI10, as well as the 2nd place in the OGA Dota PIT Season 5 China and the 3rd place in the FMWH Dota2 Championship Season 3.

- 9th-12th place at The International 2018 with Vici Gaming
- 13-16th place at The International 2017 as a member of iG.Vitality
Somnus (max 2 seat)

- 2nd place at The International 2014 with Vici Gaming
- 5th-6th place at The International 2013 with Team DK
- 4th place at The International 2012 with Team DK
The least experienced player in Yang, fy and Super all played together at Vici Gaming at The International 2014 and 2015. The main bunch: fy and Somnus had an amazing 2018 and 2019 seasons at The International, but stopped just a few steps from the championship.
Since PSG.LGD is very popular nowadays, Elephant can feel a little more relaxed as there is tremendous pressure on the other Chinese team. This should definitely be a plus for the "bishops", they have very experienced players and it will bear fruit. I expect to see them definitely in the top 4.
Mini Prediction: Elephant Top 4 Minimum at The International 10
Bookmakers give 8.5 odds on Elephant's victory in The International 10, reaching the final is estimated at 3.98.
