Welcome back to EGamersWorld!
An overview of the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023 with betting odds on Evil Geniuses vs PSG.LGD, who will face off on the second day of the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023.
We take a look at the performance of the teams and make our opinion, which we believe will help you place a good bet. We will tell you what to expect and the outcome.
Here we go.
Form PSG.LGD
We begin our analysis of the match by examining the form of PSG.LGD. In this match, the Chinese team will play as the favourites, as the bookmakers hint at.
It is possible to believe in the state of affairs, but to be fair, PSG.LGD have not shown a level of play worthy of a top team in the last season. However, they retain their title team status because of several top players and a big-name coach.
When it comes to performance, PSG.LGD are playing miserably. The team that took the top 1 in China's first division has completely failed in their debut Major tournament of the year, The Lima Major 2023.
PSG.LGD in Peru played almost the worst result in the club's history. The Chinese tops finished in the top-12, a far cry from a decent total.
- PSG.LGD line-up: shiro, NothingToSay, zeal, planet, y`.
After failing in the first round, PSG.LGD replaced the third position player. A logical move after the 'performance' in Peru.
PSG.LGD must have hoped for an improved performance, but the desired reinforcement of the game did not follow. In the second round of DPC 2023, PSG.LGD finished second, missing out on Xtreme Gaming.
Apart from the Lima Major 2023 and home DPC leagues, PSG.LGD have not played anywhere. There's not a lot of performance experience, and for an essentially new squad that's important.
The most popular PSG.LGD heroes
Among the most popular were Disruptor (7 matches, 57% wins), Primal Beast (5 matches, 80% wins), Mirana and Beastmaster appeared 4 times each with 100% wins.
Also in the pool were Dazzle, Tiny, Phoenix and Axe. All appeared 3 times and have a 66% win rate.
If you are ready to believe in PSG.LGD's improved play in the second Major tournament, pick them as your winner.
We will continue with the PSG.LGD vs Evil Geniuses with an analysis of their game form.
Evil Geniuses form
Let's proceed with the analysis of Evil Geniuses' form. In this match they are playing in the second position, which is quite predictable, but not very logical.
Evil Geniuses look as good as their future rivals this season, but perhaps a little less statistically. The NTS factor and y` with Xiao8 are playing their part. EG don't have such a great team yet, but they have a very solid portfolio compared to PSG.LGD.
Evil Geniuses are twice in the local league top 2, but that's not the main thing. PSG.LGD, for example, were also in the top two and even won their league once, but this did not help them on the international stage.
Evil Geniuses, unlike PSG.LGD, played better at The Lima Major 2023. EG won two rounds after reaching the bottom of the play-offs grid, reaching the top-four match but losing there to Shopify Rebellion.
In addition to The Lima Major 2023, Evil Geniuses played at DreamLeague S19, which PSG.LGD skipped to prepare for The Berlin Major 2023.
You can't call EG's performance bad, but it cannot be called good either. They played well: they got through to the second stage and there they played for the top-7.
- Evil Geniuses: Pakazs, Chris Luck, Wisper, Matthew, Pandaboo.
The Peruvian EG five are pretty strong individual performers, but with the release of the new patch the players have played a bit in the pubs. For example Pakazs and Wisper have played 22 publics, but both have a minus win rate.
Evil Geniuses' most popular heroes
Beastmaster and Death Prophet remain at the top of Evil Geniuses' most popular heroes. Both heroes are taken 8 times each and have a good 75% win rate.
After DP and Primal Beast comes Leshrac, and he is most often played in the third position. He has appeared 6 times and has a 66% win rate.
In addition he's picked Marci (5 matches, 60% wins), Templar Assassin (4 matches, 100% win), and Jakiro (4 matches, 100% win).
If you're ready to believe in the success of the South American 'Dota' against the Chinese classics - bet on Evil Geniuses to win.
Evil Geniuses vs PSG.LGD
The teams already played each other in the Lima Major 2023. There was no winner as the teams drew 1-1.
Predicted results for the Evil Geniuses - PSG.LGD
The most suitable result for this match is a draw. Both teams are not at their peak and each has strengths as well as weaknesses.
EG are unstable, while PSG.LGD have little experience of playing on the International stage this season.
Bottom line: a draw.
