Прогноз на матч: 9 Pandas - Team Spirit | Dota 2

Hello and welcome to EGamersWorld.

On the penultimate game day of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Tour 3, we have prepared a betting tip for Team Spirit vs 9Pandas. One of those occasions when the game is really interesting to watch and the weight of the match is unquestionable.

It's at least a fundamental encounter for the two teams. While Team Spirit have already qualified for the IO Bali Major 2023, 9Pandas' situation is still unresolved: the team has not yet secured a slot at the IO Bali Major 2023.

A head-to-head encounter between the teams will decide a lot: a win for Spirit gives them outright primacy in the tour, which is very important in the run-up to getting an inquest for The International 2023, while a win for 9Pandas would secure them a slot in the IO Bali Major 2023 and also greatly increase their chances of qualifying for The International 2023.

Let's see which team will be stronger in this encounter and as a result improve their tournament position considerably.

Let's get started.

Team Spirit's form

Let's start the review of the match by analyzing Team Spirit's form. In this encounter, the team will play at number one, as indicated by the bookmakers.

They believe in Team Spirit, but they leave escape routes. The odds on the Dragons' victory are somewhere around 1.8.

Such a figure can be explained, because no matter how you look at it, the Spirit remain a stable team. Their performance this year points to that.

In the first round of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1, the Spirit finished 2nd. The Dragons were then prevented from winning by BB Team, who finished the tournament in first place at 7-0. After a home league appearance, Team Spirit attended The Lima Major 2023 where they finished in the top 8.

Later, the Spirit played the second round of their home league and again finished in the top-2. Going to The Berlin Major 2023 expected to improve the result of the previous Major, however, in the end, things only got worse: already in the top-12.

Despite very mediocre play in the international arena, the Spirit still steadily make it out of the groups at the Major and look like the main contender to win every game at home.

• Team Spirit line-up: Yatoro, Larl, Collapse, Mira, Miposhka.

Team Spirit has 6 wins in 6 games before the start of the match. Almost every game, however, was difficult for Spirit: they gave up where they should not have, but the result remains the fact: Spirit is at the top of the standings and no one has yet been able to challenge the superiority of the "dragons".

The most popular heroes of Team Spirit

Crystal Maiden tops the list of Team Spirit's most selectable characters. The character has appeared in spades six times and has an 83% win rate.

In addition to Crystal Maiden, Disruptor and Underlord are also favored, having been spiked 5 times each with an 80% win rate. There was also Skywrath Mage (4 matches, 100% wins), Doom (4 matches, 75% wins), PL, Viper, Slark, Riki appeared 3 times each and has 100% wins.

Spirit play the season in class. So they beat their direct rival in the form of BB Team, but will they cope with 9Pandas? We will find out very soon.

Form 9Pandas

Let's move on to the 9Pandas fixtures. In this match, they are playing in underdog status.

The bookmakers confirm the position of 9Pandas before the match against Spirit. The odds for the teams' success are estimated at around 1.9.

As you can see from the odds on the winner of the match, we have parity looming here. Quite logical, given that the two teams (also BB) are the only ones who play Dota from the region. This can be seen by their performance on and off the local scene - in the Major ahs and other The International events.

They started the year in the Top 3 at DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Tour 1, where 9Pandas finished in third place. However, at the first international tournament of the year, The Lima Major 2023, the HellRaisers managed to advance from the group while playing with stand-up. The stage was set for further achievements.

Such an achievement was the triumph in the second season of the DPC. At that time, 9Pandas finished top 1 in their league, beating all direct competitors, including Team Spirit and BB Team. In addition, 9Pandas surprised everyone at The Berlin Major 2023. In Germany, the Pandas made it to TOP-3, their best result of the year in the region.

• 9Pandas: RAMZES, kiyotaka, MieRo, Antares, Solo .

There were no line-up changes in the third DPC round. Solo returned to the captain position as he was absent from The Berlin Major 2023.

Before the Long Song match, 9Pandas had a series score of 4-1. The only game they lost was against BB Team.

Most popular 9Pandas characters

The most picked-up character of 9Pandas is Skywrath Mage. He has appeared in Pandas games 6 times and has 3 wins.

He is followed by Bounty Hunter (4 matches, 50% wins), Tiny (3 matches, 66% wins), and Bloodseeker (3 matches, 33% wins). Also glimpsed in the pool are Chen and Doom (2 matches each, 100% wins) and also Enchantress (2 matches, 50% wins).

It will be The International ere if 9Pandas can defeat Spirit here. Then it's very likely that we'll have a re-match for the 3 teams in the round-robin championship and that's why this match is so crucial.

History of head-to-head encounters

The teams have previously played each other in the course of the first and second DPC season. The series score is 1-1.

Result of the match

In this match, I expect an even game with the hope of academy and adequacy on both sides. All these qualities are very rare in today's Eastern Europe, and therefore such matches are worth watching.

Speaking of the winner, I'd say Team Spirit. It seems that this season they are not ready to share the victory with anyone, and especially with 9Pandas.

Bottom line: victory for Team Spirit.
