Match forudsigelse: Team Spirit - 9 Pandas | Dota 2

Good to see you on EGamersWorld.

We continue our breakdown of the DreamLeague Season 20 group stage with a betting tee on the 9 Pandas vs Team Spirit match. The teams will open the second game day and this match should be a high-profile event.

A re-enactment of one of Eastern Europe's most crucial derbies in the setting of a major commercial international event. What could be better?

I don't need to explain how important this game is for the two sides. Both teams have underperformed this year in the Eastern European arena, but not spectacularly, and DreamLeague S20 is a good place to improve.

Let's see which team will be stronger in this match and earn important points before the group stage gets underway. Let's go.

Team Spirit formation

We open the showdown with an analysis of Team Spirit's form. In this match, the team will have to play as favourites.

The bookmakers confirm the Dragons' pre-match position. The odds of winning this match are priced at around 1.6.

Such a figure looks quite logical. Spirit, although the favorite, but the gap from the chaser is insignificant, and everything is due to the overall performance of Team Spirit during the year.

In the first round of the DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Spirit finished in 2nd place. The Dragons were then prevented from winning by BB Team, who finished the tournament on top 7-0. After a home league appearance, Team Spirit attended The Lima Major 2023 where they finished in the top 8.

Later, the Spirit played the second round of their home league and again finished in the top-2. Going to The Berlin Major 2023 expected to improve the result of the previous Major, however, in the end, things only got worse: already in the top-12.

Despite "sluggish" international play, the Spirit still steadily make it through the Major groups and look like the main contender to win every game at home. That was the case in the third season of DPC 2023.

Spirit finished the final Eastern European cycle in first place. It took 3 tries to get the title in Eastern Europe, but they were probably worth it.

• The composition of Team Spirit: Yatoro, Larl, Collapse, Mira, Miposhka .

Spirit's roster is stable and for the entire competitive year they have not yet resorted to a stand-in, although many predicted their conversion. This has paid off at least for DreamLeague Season 20.

The $1,000,000 Spirit tournament got off to a very brisk start. They took the lead in the first group stage by winning their A basket 1-6-0.

Team Spirit's top most-chosen characters are led by Crystal Maiden. The character has appeared in spades 6 times and has an 83% win rate.

Form 9 Pandas

The 9 Pandas will face Spirit in the next round of the famous derby. The Solo team will play in this match in underdog status.

The bookmakers agree with the position of the Pandas. The odds for 9 Pandas to win the match against Spirit are around 2.2.

For a bo3 in a major international tournament, this is a very workable situation. All the more reason for 9 Pandas to fully match it.

9 Pandas started the year in third place in DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Tour 1, but they reached the group at their first international tournament of the year, the Lima Major 2023, while still under the HellRaisers' banner. \

In their second DPC season, 9Pandas finished in the Top 1, beating all their direct rivals, Team Spirit and BB Team. Furthermore, 9Pandas surprised everyone at The Berlin Major 2023. In Germany, the Pandas made it to the top 3, the best result for the region for the year.

The 9 Pandas finished their third DPC cycle with qualification for the last Major of the season, The Bali Major 2023, with a third-place home league exit there. Next up was DreamLeague S20.

• 9Pandas squad: RAMZES, kiyotaka, MieRo, Antares, Solo .

Like Spirit, the Pandas played a full squad at the DreamLeague without any mishaps, as they did at The Berlin Major 2023. Like Spirit, 9 Pandas managed to win their group - basket B - by a score of 4-2-1.

Before Long Sogpeg main battles in the second group stage of DreamLeague Season 20, 9Pandas look a little more serious and seem poised to take revenge on Spirit.

The most popular 9Pandas characters

He is followed by Bounty Hunter (4 matches, 50% wins), Tiny (3 matches, 66% wins), and Bloodseeker (3 matches, 33% wins). Also glimpsed in the pool are Chen and Doom (2 matches each, 100% wins) as well as Enchantress (2 matches, 50% wins).

History of head-to-head encounters

Spirit and 9 Pandas have a rich history of head-to-head encounters. The teams played each other in three DPC seasons when the 9 Pandas were still HellRaisers. The 2-1 Spirit lead in head-to-head encounters.

The outcome of the match

It's hard to imagine a result different from the +2.5 total. The teams know each other too well, so the winner will be decided on three maps.

If you can't wait to pick a winner, the logical choice is 9 Pandas. They look very chippy in this tournament, but don't forget about the factor of playing against an inveterate rival.

My pick, on the other hand, is a +2.5 total.

Bottom line: +2.5.
