Прогноз на матч: HellRaisers - PuckChamp (RU) | Dota 2

In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”

While decisive confrontations are rapidly ending in the DPC race, local battles do not subside. In the CIS region, they are held at the Pinnacle Cup.

HellRaisers and PuckChamp will play there within the group stage. While both teams are grazing the rear, which means that the match can turn out quite well.

If HR's situation is still acceptable, then PuckChamp needs to win. Statistics 0-4 won't fix itself, and you need at least 6th place to get into the losers' bracket.

HellRaisers form

Despite the fact that we ended the preview at the discussion of PuckChamp, I will suggest starting the analysis with HR. Fortunately, they are favorites of the match, which fits perfectly into our concept of starting with favorites.

Here is the truth whether there are so many favorites. We remember the last match of HR, in which they butted against 67 minutes on the second map of Prosti Esli and almost lost the map several times.

And if you look at the latest statistics, you can see that the problems arose long before the game against Prosti Esli. For clarity, the latest performance.

HR Latest Results

• Win against Nemiga Gaming 2-1
• Win against Team Unique, 2-1
• Lose to Brame 0-2
• Lost to Team Spirit 0-2
• Win against Prosti Esli 2-0

As we can see, matches, it would seem, with outsiders, and those are difficult, not to mention the meetings with Spirit or Brame. But PuckChamp is not a bastard.

PuckChamp Form

Let's move on to discussing the PuckChamp form, which is the outsider in the fight. It is understandable in principle, but I would not write them off.

Although PuckChamp has been "undergone" lately, I think this is due to the sudden change in the environment. Nevertheless, the team got into the first division of the CIS, where the teams are at a stronger level and where an easy walk, akin to the one that was in the first season in the lower division, will no longer work.

But, we don't have a DPC here, but a tournament outside of Valve's competence. It would seem that this should play into the hands of PuckChamp, since the extra prize money has not bothered anyone yet, but in reality things are going even worse here than on the DPC.

PuckChamp Latest Results

• Defeat to Chicken Fighters 0-2
• Lose from AS Monaco Gambit with a score of 0-2
• Lose to Hellbear Smashers 1-2
• Lose from Level Up with a score of 1-2
• Lose from EXTREMUM with a score of 0-2

However, this is a visualization of the words said above. Perhaps PuckChamp are simply not used to playing at interregional tournaments and meetings with European clubs are most inconvenient for them.

Or maybe they just started playing very badly. We should get the answer to this question already in the match against HR.

Personal meeting history

Previously, the clubs have already played 3 matches with each other. HellRaisers are leading with a score of 2-1, but not a single meeting ended on two maps.

Match outcome

Of course, there is much more faith in HR's victory, and most likely it will. Of course, Cooman can always turn on the Ember Spirit mode from the second map against Prosti Esli and then PuckChamp will have every chance of winning, but I think this is more an exception than a rule.

Although I believe that HR will win, I think it will not end on a dry sheet 2-0. I recommend trusting the statistics of the head-to-head meetings of these teams and betting over 2.5 on the total.

Result: the total is over 2.5.
