TI10: iG will definitely delight and get to the top 5-6
Maksym ShylovInvictus Gaming are the champions of the first Major of this season, they will be discussed for the upcoming The International 10. The main thing that can become an obstacle for iG at this TI10 is the COVID-19 coronavirus. Let me remind you that they contracted the coronavirus: JT- (offlane), flyfly (carry) and their trainer super.

My main thought, which will be in all articles: The International is a tournament of a different scale, it cannot be compared with anything else. Any player will have their hands shaking when the prize pool is $ 40 million, and the value of one best of 3-series or card in the group stage reaches over a million dollars.

Oli
- Never played The International
Oli, JT- and Emo have never played at The International, the most experienced in the roster is Kaka, and also flyfly has performed at TI once.
I am absolutely sure that this year, a team from China will become the champion of The International 10, they have great confidence in PSG.LGD, and iG's success would be estimated at 20 percent.
It seems to me that the coronavirus and the consequences of the disease should affect the performance of some players. On the other hand, the pressure regarding their participation in The International 10 has eased, as today the organizers allowed players with COVID-19 to compete in the tournament. I expect to see the top 5-6 from iG at TI10.
Mini Prediction: Top 5-6 minimum for iG at The International 10
