Evil Geniuses and PSG.LGD will play each other in the upper bracket of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021. EG managed to outplay fnatic and iG, while PSG.LGD outplayed Team Secret and Virtus.pro.
Evil Geniuses - started the R & D p with a victory over fnatic, showed Kerry Naga Siren, Storm Spirit by Abed and Pangolier from iceiceice. Also in their pool: Terrorblade, Arc Warden. Puck was banned against fnatics, and iG just took it to themselves in the first stage. This very clearly shows the preparation for the draft and the variability of picks and bans. For the second day in a row, I celebrate how EG drafts and adapts to each opponent specifically. They have new heroes and strategies with every game that are bearing fruit so far.
Team Drafts
- Carry: Juggernaut, Naga Siren, Terrorblade, Alchemist, top five: Death Prophet, Wintern Wyvern, TIdehunter, Witch Doctor
- In hard on three: Beastmaster, Pangolier, Timbersaw, on four: Tusk, Pangolier, Mirana, Earth Spirit
- Mid: Void Spirit, Puck, Storm Spirit
- EG bans: Puck, Monkey King, Phoenix, IO, Timbersaw, Troll Warlord
- Ban against EG: Alchemist, Death Prophet, Earth Spirit, Medusa
PSG.LGD - got in great shape during the tournament, but there are doubts. In the match with Virtus.pro, they managed to defeat them purely due to drafts and poor performance from gpk. With Team Secret, they were allowed to play three times with their signature Monkey King, EG will ban this hero in the first stage. It seems to me that LGD has already shown absolutely everything at this tournament, they will only surprise them with the selection of supports of the type: Luna, Abaddon, Gyrocopter and so on.
Team Drafts
- On carry: Monkey King, Troll Warlord, on five: Phoenix, Undying, Shadow Shaman, Elder Titan
- Hard for three: Pangolier, Lycan, Puck, for four: Tusk, Shadow Shaman, Elder Titan
- Mid: Death Prophet, Void Spirit, Ember Spirit, Magnus
- PSG.LGD bans: Enchantress, Timbersaw, Razor, Terrorblade, Storm Spirit
- Banned against PSG.LGD: Death Prophet, IO, Puck, Mars, Nyx Assasin
Forecast for the match PSG.LGD vs EG in the upper bracket of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021
An amazing game awaits us, PSG.LGD should be wary of and remember about Naga Siren, Terrorblade, Arc Warden, Storm Spirit. EG should focus on playing against Monkey King, Pangolier, Nature`s Prophet, Lycan.
Bookmaker companies give the odds 1.796 on PSG.LGD, on EG - 2.108. It seems to me that LGD have already reached their peak in the tournament. The team plays well, but against Evil Geniuses this is hardly enough. EG are very well prepared in drafts and understand the meta very well, in the match with Virtus.pro this was not from the opponents, and the Secret simply gave up the first map at the pick stage, and at the decisive one they simply forgot about Lycan. I advise you to believe in Evil Geniuses, but the drafting stage will be very, very interesting.
Prediction: Evil Geniuses will outplay PSG.LGD in the upper bracket of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021 - coefficient 2.108
