Прогноз на матч: Alliance - LGD Gaming | Dota 2

This time we have a battle, teams are more tangible and predictable. In the second match of the upper bracket of the playoffs at WePlay, AniMajor will play PSG.LGD against Alliance.

This match promises to be hot, but as for me it is much more transparent, so the fight between Aster and T1. The fact is that we have already seen enough of PSG.LGD, and so far, the "Chinese Parisians" look very impressive.

It is likely that Alliance is also not a bastard, but for some reason there is a persistent feeling that the teams that went directly to the playoffs will be significantly inferior to the teams that have passed the group stage. Moreover, collectives like PSG.LGD.

Be that as it may, it is worthwhile to understand in more detail. Therefore, we proceed.

PSG.LGD Form

Let's start with a team that is understandable and familiar, and as good as a nominal favorite. PSG.LGD is for me personally the main favorite to win in Kiev.

For the second season in a row, the “Parisians” have shown a consistently strong game. In this regard, Vici are similar to them, but now the "Tigers" are clearly in problems, which we will talk about later.

PSG.LGD is played quite widely, allowing itself various kinds of experiments. We see this in implementation, with Ame taking on the role of the support core, playing Doom or Magnus/Ax, and NothingToSay acting as a propulsion with their TA or Lina.

PSG.LGD latest matches results

• Draw in the match with Team Spirit 1-1
• Defeat Liquid 2-0
• Beat TNC Predator 2-0
• Beat EG 2-0
• Draw against Vici Gaming 1-1

In Kiev PSG.LGD does not know defeat yet, and the matches end in a draw, just because it is bo2. There is a feeling that in Bo3 the team would win everything in a row.

Alliance Form

Another dark horse and dark only because it passed from the first place in Europe. And in general, can the first place in Europe be regarded as a great achievement?

Obviously yes, but in the second season, this raises questions. You can recall the regular season, in which a shapeless bacchanalia was clearly going on, with Secret in the lead role.

How much the region is transformed when one team goes on a “pause”. Alliance are great fellows who managed to seize the moment and win the league.

Now we need to demonstrate a decent game on the international stage, but with this, it seems to me, there will be very big problems. Recall the last major that Alliance played in full force.

Alliance Recent Results

• Win against Nigma 2-1
• Win against Secret, 2-1
• Lost to Brame with a score of 1-2
• Beat Tundra Esports 2-1
• Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-0

While we do not have data from the battlefields, it remains to be guided by the results against European teams. They are almost flawless, but still there is something to complain about (defeat by Brame, uncertain play against Tundra).

Personal meeting history

In personal confrontations PSG.LGD is slightly ahead. Of the 5 matches, the Chinese won 2, 2 more ended in a draw, and 1 was won by Alliance.

Match outcome

Since I have named PSG.LGD the upcoming winner of the tournament, I am definitely betting in their favor. In the match against Alliance, I do not believe in a different outcome, but I cannot deny it, since we have a major, not the devil knows what.

Result: victory for PSG.LGD.
