We begin the farewell ceremony. The last week of regional DPC leagues has started.
Ahead of the final fights of the upper and lower divisions. Unfortunately, the decisive confrontation in the major leagues has lost its value, since there will be no first Major of the season.
Naturally, this is very sad, but you should not be upset: the fights are still going on and will go on for another week. Today we are waiting for the central confrontation of the week - Team Secret vs. Team Tickles.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this confrontation and earn prestige points at the end of the DPC league.
Team Secret uniform
Team Secret will play as the nominal favorite in this match. This is what the bookmaker thinks and, perhaps, one can agree with them.
The gap between the teams in terms of odds is very small - they give about 1.8 on Secret, and around 1.9 on Tickles. This seems to be one of the closest Secret matches have been in a few seasons.
Team Secret roster
- Nisha
- SumaiL
- iceiceice
- YapzOr
- Puppey
The captain of Puppey seemed to know that there would be no major and that it would be possible to “get lost” a little during the season. Secret managed to do this, because before the match they occupy the 6th line in the standings and if the final Major had been held, Secret would have been in the span.
Team Secret latest match results
- Lost to Nigma Galaxy 0-2
- Lost to Team Spirit 1-2
- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2
- Lost to Team Liquid 1-2
- 2-0 victory over COOLGUYS
On the DPC, Secret is 3-3, and this is the worst result in the history of the leagues from Valve. The victory over Tickles may partially brighten up the situation, but it will not completely change the picture.
Heroes Secret
Team Secret Most Picked Heroes in 7.30: Magnus (7 matches, 71% win rate), Monkey King (5 matches, 100% win rate), Snapfire (5 matches, 60% win rate).
Most successful Team Secret heroes: Monkey King (5 matches, 100% win rate), Slardar (3 matches, 100% win rate), Templar Assassin (3 matches, 100% win rate).
Form Team Tickles
The minimum outsider in this match will be Team Tickles. As mentioned above, the coefficient for their victory varies within 1.9.
I agree with this. Tickles this season show that work and labor will grind everything, but Secret is Secret and such a tag must be reckoned with, no matter what form they are in.
Team Tickles line-up
- dyrachYO
- BOOM
- Ace
- t0fu
- Celeri
How many laudatory odes were sung to this five, and it's not in vain. Former ViKin.gg have reincarnated into Tickles and are now taking revenge for the insults in the past seasons by destroying the European giants one by one.
Team Tickles latest match results
- 2-1 victory over Nemiga Gaming
- 2-1 victory over OG
- 2-0 victory over NaVi
- 3-2 victory over NaVi
- 2-0 victory over Tundra Esports
In the last match against Tundra Esports, Tickles simply shone. The cancellation of the major did not affect them in any way, and the players are eager to play and win here and now, as if they don’t think about the future.
Heroes Team Tickles
Team Tickles Most Picked Heroes in 7.30: Shadow Fiend (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ogre Magi (1 match, 100% win rate), Tidehunter (1 match, 100% win rate).
The most successful are the same SF, Ogre Magi and Tidehunter.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in these lineups. This fight will be the debut full-time clash of the teams.
Outcome
In this match, I expect the same responsible game from Tickles as it was in the previous series. What to expect from Secret is an interesting question.
Exodus: +1.5 on Tickles.
