The second match of the upper bracket of the playoffs of the main tournament of the year. And what a match!
Battle of the European giants in the first round of the playoffs. Team Secret vs. OG.
If you use loud phrases, then “a match worthy of the grand final” is best suited in this case. At least I really want to believe it, but China in 2021 is scary.
Well, there is no China here, which means we are moving on to an overview of Europe.
We figure out who will eventually become the winner and move further along the grid, and who will have to go on an adventure along the lower bracket.
Form OG
OG will be the nominal favorite in this match. I think you can agree.
The path of the current two-time world champions to the main tournament of the year was difficult and thorny. In Bucharest, OG risked being left without a key link in the person of Ceb, but luckily for them everything worked out.
In the group stage, OG showed what was expected of them. A sea of madness and beautiful game.
OG is the most flexible team in the group stage. They played 80+ heroes, which other teams can hardly boast of.
When it comes to performance, OG is in its repertoire. They gave up the Undying card, openly threw it against VP and EG, and nevertheless made their way to the upper bracket of the playoffs.
OG Latest Results
- Lost to Aster with a score of 0-2
- Win over T1 2-0
- Draw with Evil Geniuses 1-1
- Draw with Undying 1-1
- Draw with Invictus Gaming 1-1
OG's game cannot be called exemplary, but in the case of OG it is in the order of things.
OG Heroes
OG play whatever they want and how they want. Several heroes can still be distinguished.
Elder Titan (3 matches, 100% win), Magnus (3 matches, 67% win), Legion Commander (3 matches, 100% win).
The most successful ones are still ET, LC.
Team Secret uniform
Team Secret will act as the catch-up in this match. Although, here it is quite thin.
I would not call Secret an outsider, as in my understanding the teams are in equal condition at The International 10. Perhaps this is thanks to Secret's preparation for The International 10, which Puppey and company borrowed from OG themselves.
However, Secret will have more questions about the group stage than OG. They played very badly, having managed to break into the upper bracket only in the last match.
Secret Recent Results

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams had time to play with each other within the DPC season and not only. Secret is leading in 5 matches with a score of 3-2.
The outcome of the fight
You always want 3 cards from European Dota. Hope Secret and OG make us happy.
Result: total +2.5, with the risk of winning OG 2-1.
