Прогноз на матч: Elephant.4AM - RNG | Dota 2

The Chinese qualifiers for The International have started successfully. In the first round of the upper bracket, we did not see much intrigue. Maybe we can catch her in the semifinals?

Since the most eminent teams from those who take part in the qualifiers remain in the upper bracket, the likelihood of this increases. However, there are concerns about this.

Without the Big Four of China (PSG.LGD, Vici, IG, Aster), we got a region where favorites move outsiders, and China's famous competitiveness has sunk into oblivion. I feel that this will not change until the end of the qualifiers.

Understanding what to expect from the RNG vs Elephant match.

Elephant shape

Let's start with the nominal favorite of the match - Elephant. And not only the match, but, perhaps, all qualifiers.

Still, without that very big Chinese four, which I mentioned above, Elephant looks the strongest in the region. Replacing Red Panda with Super has paid off.

Elephant Latest Results

• Lost to IG 0-2
• Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
• Lost to ViCi 1-2
• Defeat from Aster with a score of 1-2
• Beat MagMa 0-2

We look at the performance of Elephant and see what I was talking about above. Elephant does not go against the giants, and they are not at these qualifiers.

RNG form

Royal Never Give Up, like Elephant, won their first match without any difficulty. Like Elephant, they are one of the main favorites of the qualifiers.

RNGs in 2021 are not showing the brightest results. The team won the DPC lower division in season 1, but were eliminated from the elite league in the second.

RNG Recent Results

• Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
• Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
• Defeat PSG.LGD 2-1
• Lost to IG 0-2
• Beat LBZS 2-0

As strange as it may seem, in the matches against the giants of China, RNG looked cooler than Elephant. But the recent Super replacement could have a huge impact on the balance of power.

Personal meeting history

Previously, the teams managed to play more than one match with each other. Elephant is in the lead with a 3-2 score, but the last 2 matches have been won by RNG.

The outcome of the fight

The Super replacement should have had a huge impact on the balance of power. The substitution of players between RNG and Elephant clearly strengthened the latter.

In the first round of the Upper Bracket, Elephant looked very confident, as did the RNG. Nevertheless, it seems that it is the Chinese "super" team that should win.

Outcome: victory for Elephant.
