The climax of DreamLeague S20 comes closer with every match. Today we're talking about the PSG.LGD - BB Team clash.
The pair will play in the second match of game day 5, and their match stunts the centrepiece of the day. Who would have thought that a face-to-face clash between these teams would be the centrepiece of the day.
What can you do, that's the reality. There are plenty of surprises at DreamLeague S20 in general, and the performance of PSG.LGD and BB is probably one of the loudest.
Let's try to figure out which team will be stronger in this clash and earn critical points ahead of the end of DreamLeague S20 Group Stage 2.
Let's go.
Form PSG.LGD
Let's start with the analysis of PSG.LGD's form. In this match, the team will perform in the status of favorites.
Bookmakers confirm the pre-match situation for the Chinese club. The odds of PSG.LGD winning this match are estimated to be 1.6.
Seeing PSG.LGD as favourites for the 2023 season is new. The Chinese club has had tremendous trouble in virtually every tournament they have played in.
PSG.LGD have shown themselves in good standing exclusively in their home DPC 2023: China Upper Division. Their entire portfolio in 2023 consists of reaching the top 3 of the regional league: top 1 twice (DPC 2023: Tour 1 and DPC 2023: Tour 3) and top 2 at DPC 2023: Tour 2.
On the international stage, PSG.LGD failed The Lima Major 2023, where they crashed out in the first round of play-offs. The second Major season was no better than the first, PSG.LGD again flew out in the first round of play-offs taking the top-12 in the tournament. In addition, the team missed out on DreamLeague S19.

DreamLeague S20 seems to have become an outlet for the once top-1 team in the world. You can see how PSG.LGD got involved and how the genius of xiao8 works, without exaggeration. The latter is a key aspect of PSG.LGD's rare success this season and directly at DreamLeague S20.
As I write this betting tourney, PSG.LGD have 3 wins in 3 matches. They have almost reached the play-offs of the tournament.
The most popular heroes of PSG.LGD
The most frequent guest of PSG.LGD picks at DreamLeague S20 is Techies (5 matches, 60% wins). Next are Void Spirit and Magnus with 4 matches and 75% wins.
Opponents should watch out for Phantom Lancer (3 matches, 100% wins). Skywrath Mage (3 matches, 66% wins), and Ember Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins) are also peaking.
BB Team uniforms
The BB Team will oppose PSG.LGD in this match. Will be in underdog status.
The bookmakers confirm the pre-match status. The odds of the BB Team winning this match are estimated at around 2.2.
Frankly, the figure is more of a parity situation. I wouldn't say 2.2 is anything critical, rather the opposite - an opportunity to catch a nice odds. For this season the teams are effectively mirror teams.
In the first season of the regional league BB Team won the TOP 1, very confidently overcoming their main opponents Spirit and HR. However, their success was quickly overshadowed by their performance in the Lima Major 2023, where the BB did not manage to make it out of the group.
Several inconclusive events later, the BB Team started to play in the second division of the DPC. This time the situation changed dramatically, from top 1 to top 3, but on the international stage, everything was stable: another failure to get out of the group at Major e.
The third DPC season was held under the slogan "it's time to get our own back", but somehow it didn't work out, something didn't go well and as a result it ended up in TOP-2. Again, sort of a landmark, but if you compare Western and Eastern Europe, the top 2 in the former is much more prestigious than the BB achievement.

The BB's are making the most of their opportunity. Recall that the BB were not supposed to play in this tournament, but due to visa problems Execration BB are here. And they feel good.
The format of the tournament - online event with a lot of matches - is also affecting. Under such conditions it is pleasant to play BB, and the results confirm that. Not only did the team advance to the second group stage from second place in Group B in the first group stage, but they're still sitting in the lead in the second stage.
The most popular BB Team characters
The most used BB Team character remains Storm Spirit (5 games, 60% wins). In addition, the team plays Primal Beast and Pugna in position 4, and both heroes have 4 matches and 100% wins each. In spades was Enchantress (4 matches, 25% wins), Beastmaster (4 games, 0% wins).
History of head-to-head encounters
PSG.LGD and BB have managed to play in the first group stage of DreamLeague S20. There was a draw at the time.
Match result
In this matchup, I am on the side of PSG.LGD. If they don't score against the skilful BB Team, they'll move over at the expense of their late-game build-up.
Bottom line: victory for PSG.LGD.
