Прогноз на матч: LGD Gaming - OG | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We are back in Group A of the Play-In Riyadh Masters 2023. Next up is a betting tip on the match between OG and PSG.LGD.

The match will be played in a Bo2 format and is one of The International's most heresy matches in the first round of Group A matches. At least, because the Chinese are playing against Western Europe.

Also, both teams haven't shone this season, so they will try their best to make up for a year of lost time at the Riyadh Masters 2023.

Let's try to see how this match will end and whether any of the teams will be able to pick up a clean win in the course of the match.

Let's go.

Form PSG.LGD

Let's open the match analysis with PSG.LGD. In this match the team will play as favourites.

Bookmakers are confident in the success of PSG.LGD. So much so, that give on the victory in this match is estimated by a figure in the region of 2.5.

The indicator is not ultimatum, but confident, it should be noted. It's not even about the figure on PSG.LGD, but about its ratio to the odds on the victory of OG.

PSG.LGD have been performing well exclusively in their home DPC 2023: China Upper Division. Their entire portfolio in 2023 consists of Top 3 regional league appearances: twice Top 1 (DPC 2023: Tour 1 and DPC 2023: Tour 3) and Top 2 at DPC 2023: Tour 2.

On the international stage, PSG.LGD fell to The Lima Major 2023, where they crashed out in the first round of play-offs. The second Major season was no better than the first, PSG.LGD again flew away with a first round play-offs ranking in the top 12 at the tournament. In addition, the team missed DreamLeague S19.

• PSG.LGD roster: shiro, NothingToSay, niu, planet, y`.

The heyday of PSG.LGD happened on DL S20, where the team reached the play-offs of DreamLeague Season 20, which was the loudest result of the team for the whole year. As a result, the Chinese finished in the top 3 at the prestigious championship.

The Bali Major 2023 group stage Team Spirit finished in 4th place in Group B. Wards xiao8 played with the score 3-4-1, which allowed them to enter the top set of play-offs. There PSG.LGD met Team Liquid and were able to fight one of the strongest teams in the world, but lost with a score of 1-2.

Already in the next match PSG.LGD played against the once principal rival - Team Spirit. The Chinese were stronger, defeating their vis-a-vis with a score of 2-1.

Then PSG.LGD played against a convenient opponent - Azure Ray - which they beat with a score of 2-1. Ostupovka had to finish in the Top 6 stage, after losing to Quest Esports.

The most popular heroes of PSG.LGD

The most frequent guest of PSG.LGD peaks at DreamLeague S20 is Techies (5 matches, 60% wins). Next are Void Spirit and Magnus with 4 matches and 75% wins.

Opponents should beware of Phantom Lancer (3 matches, 100% wins). Skywrath Mage (3 matches, 66% wins), Ember Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins).

OG Form

We continue to watch the match with an analysis of OG's form. In this match the team will play as an outsider.

Bookmakers do not really believe in the success of the Western European club. The odds on the victory of OG is estimated at 5.7.

This is exactly the gap I was talking about. It's significant for bo2, and it came from the sheer randomness of the OG in the 2023 season.

At DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 1, OG couldn't guarantee themselves a top-4 finish and consequently missed out on The Lima Major 2023. Things seemed to pick up during the second round of DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 2. Then OG made a strong-willed comeback and made it to the Top 4 after tiebreaks.

At the Berlin Major, the team played with two stand-ins and made it to the top 6, but it seems that those stand-ins were the secret to their success. After returning to regular season matches with a full roster, OG looked critically bad, but at the last moment they improved.

At DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3, OG Long Team went down to the wire, but managed to keep their place in the top division by finishing in the top 5 in the third round of the professional season. By the way, at the last DreamLeague S19 OG also took the 5th place and this is an indicator, but it is unlikely to be repeated in the new season.

• OG roster: Yuragi, bzm, DM, Ceb, Taiga .

After a year-long extravaganza, Ceb is the new OG player. OG resorted to their ultimatum weapon during DreamLeague Season 20, but it didn't help them and OG finished in the top 20.

At Riyadh Masters 2023, OG started their journey to the top at the Play-In stage. There, in Group B, they played for the penultimate place, but then shut down Decider against Entity with a 2-0 score.

Most popular OG characters

Among the favourite OG characters: Keeper of the Light (6 matches, 83% wins), Phantom Lancer (5 matches, 60% wins).

Among the most successful: Crystal Maiden (4 matches, 100% wins), Underlord (4 matches, 100% wins), Alchemist (3 matches, 100% wins), Storm Spirit (3 matches, 100% wins), Void Spirit (3 matches, 100% wins).

Head-to-head history

This is the debut match for the teams in the 2023 season. They have not crossed paths in official matches before.

Outcome of the match

Considering how difficult the first round of the Riyadh Masters was for OG, I don't see how they can improve their game in the short term. PSG.LGD at Bali Major 2023 looked like a strong team with their own vision of the game, and a working one in contrast to OG. That is why they can shut down OG with a score of 2-0.

Result: PSG.LGD win.
