Прогноз на матч: Invictus Gaming - CDEC Gaming | Dota 2

While all esports Dota 2 fans are eagerly awaiting the start of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021, they offer to while away the time watching Asian Dota. Moreover, when there are such tournaments as FMWH Dota2 Championship Season 3, with a rather powerful line-up of participants.

Now let's get to the point. IG and CDEC will meet in the first round of the lower bracket playoffs.

IG form

We begin the analysis of the match with the form of the nominal favorite represented by Invictus Gaming.

As I've said many times, since the start of the 2021 season, IG looks like one of the strongest teams in China. However, recent matches spoil their image a little.

Results of the last 5 meetings of Invictus Gaming

• Lost to EHOME with a score of 1-2
• Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
• Defeat Aster.Aries 2-0
• Lost to Team Aster with a score of 0-2
• Defeat Team Aster 2-0

As we can see, after an amazing performance at DPC 2021 - China Upper Division (6-1 during the regular season and win in replays) IG went down. FMWH Dota2 Championship Season 3 itself did not work out from the very beginning.

In the IG group, the performances were rather sluggish. The team lost to EHOME and PSG.LGD and showed uncertain play against the tournament outsider Team MagMa.

However, things are not going well for CDEC either.

CDEC form

Across the river, on the battlefield of the Ancients, lies the CDEC.

The beginning of the season for CDEC can hardly be called successful, but it clearly does not look like a failure. Having not received an invitation to the title division of China, CDEC passed the qualifiers to the second echelon, where they practically managed to break into the TOP.

CDEC lacked a victory in a face-to-face meeting against RNG (which I believed in) to get into the TOP-2 and one victory at FMWH Dota2 Championship Season 3 was not enough. 2, however, due to face-to-face encounters, they were unable to get past Vici (2-2) and Elephant (2-2).

Results of the last 5 CDEC meetings

• Defeat to Elephant 0-2
• Defeat Vici Gaming 2-1
• Defeat Phoenix Gaming 2-1
• Defeat Sparking Arrow Gaming 2-0
• Lose from RNG with a score of 1-2

As strange as it may seem, the CDEC has better short-range performance than the IG. However, the good results can be attributed to the level of the teams with which CDEC played, but Vici and SAG (1st place in the lower division of the DPC in China) are clearly not whipping boys.

Personal meeting history

The history of personal meetings between the two clubs is rich. The teams played 29 matches and IG celebrated the victory in 19 of them. However, in the last 5 meetings, the situation is not so convincing in favor of IG.

With 5 matches, IG have won only twice. However, in the new season the teams have not met yet.

Match outcome

In general, the duel between IG and CDEC looks like a passing one only at first glance. I think CDEC will be able to impose a fight on IG, but they will not be able to win (although the latest statistics speak in their favor).

Bottom line: IG win.
