T1 and SG e-sports will play in the second match of the lower bracket at the OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021. Potentially weakest match of the day.
On paper, the gap between the teams is too big and SG e-sports is unlikely to be able to show anything. It's hard to believe in it, but what the devil is not joking with.
Let's figure out what to expect from the match and why, most likely, T1 will emerge victorious from the battle.
Form T1
T1 will be the absolute favorite in this match. There is no question for this.
No matter how sluggish T1 has played in places lately, compared to SG e-sports this is a top-class team. There is no point in arguing with this.
At ESL One Fall 2021, even in not the most optimal condition, T1 fought, which SG did not. During the season, T1 also showed confident play, while SG “blew up” in the qualifiers and, in my opinion, they were lucky enough to qualify for TI.
T1 Latest Results
- Defeat Alliance 2-1
- Beat Beastcoast 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Team Spirit 2-1
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
As we can see, T1 loses only by an extremely strong, albeit weakened substitute PSG.LGD. In a match against SG T1, you should feel extremely good.
Heroes T1
Most played heroes of patch 7.30 for T1: Lion (6 matches, 66% win), Doom (5 matches, 100% win), Medusa (5 matches, 80% win).
Most successful T1 heroes in patch 7.30: Doom (5 matches, 100% win), Snapfire (3 matches, 100% win).
SG e-sports uniform
SG e-sports will be the clear outsider in the match. This is understandable.
So far, the Brazilians can show good play only against compatriots like Thunder Predator. Yes, there was hope in ESL One Fall 2021, where SG managed to squeeze out several maps from the tops, but that was more of a temporary clouding, and even Bo2 series.

- Lose at Beastcoast 0-2
- Draw against Empire 1-1

- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2

The latter performance speaks for itself. Against the giants, SG e-sports really has little chance.
SG e-sports heroes
Most played SG e-Sports heroes in patch 7.30: Sven (4 matches, 75% win), Omniknight (3 matches, 100% win), Mirana (3 matches, 33% win).

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not meet in official matches.
The outcome of the fight
I don't see any reason to talk about the balance of power of teams for a long time. If SG is not allowed to play on Costabile, write it up. T1 must understand this, which means they will not let him breathe.
Result: 2-0 in favor of T1.
