Prediction for the match between Talon Esports and T1 within the qualification for The International 11 (Southeast Asia). Both teams have already guaranteed a place at The International 11, now the main battle is for the group stage. T1 defeated Execration 2:0 and RSG 2:0 in qualifiers; Talon Esports turned out to be stronger than Lilgun and Polaris 2:0.
In general, the teams went through the first 2 games very easily, it’s hard to even assess the level of their rivals, it seems to me that it was equal, but T1 is still in the new roster and so confidently walking through the top teams in Southeast Asia is worthy of respect, at least for Topson.
On the one hand, I would like to see T1 in the grand finals of the qualifiers, but on the other hand, the types from Talon Esports have been working for a long time and trying for this TI11, while ana and topson just come to the qualifiers and have already passed. You need to prove everything with your game, and while Dota from T1 looks more stable; Talon lost the beginning twice with Polaris, but due to Faceless Void it was possible to turn over, I hope T1 will draw conclusions.

Talon Esports defeated Polaris yesterday, but how it is possible to give two times to Faceless Void in the first stage with a Double Pick is a mystery to me, Polaris were definitely not there in the draft and tried to counter Talon's four. Of the interesting things, Talon was reminded of Marci on the troika and took Queen of Pain, as a result she flew well, but it is not clear whether this is a blank, or they simply successfully hid it. There will definitely be a fight for Marci and T1, something to think about with Faceless Void.
The guys ana and Topson continue to drag the top three from Southeast Asia to The International 11, Kuku started playing well and in general, some kind of synergy is felt in T1. It's too early to say, but there is some kind of OG aura for sure, Morphling from Topson is in the mid; 11/0/8 Lone Druid by ana. Without a clue how Talon Esports will prepare for drafts, it will be very difficult for them.
I'm definitely here for the victory of T1, there is faith in Topson and Kuku, ana continues to give out dubious performances sometimes, but this is much less common already. I would even believe in 2:0 from T1, since the coefficient is 2.3. The main thing is not to give Lina to Mikoto and Faceless Void.
Prediction: T1 will win Talon Esports - odds 1.44; with a risk of 2:0 from T1 - coefficient 2.3
