TI10: PSG.LGD are the main favorites for the championship

As always, according to tradition, PSG.LGD approach the next The International as a favorite. At The International 2019, the LGD club took 3rd place, and at The International 2018 they lost in the grand final, but there were completely different lineups. PSG.LGD this season took 3rd place in the 1st Major and became the champions of WePlay AniMajor 2021. In general, they did not fall below 4th place for the whole season, this is some incredible result.

PSG.LGD really had an incredible season, closer to The International 10, they had problems with documents for their midman NothingToSay, but he still made it to Bucharest, although there was even talk of a possible replacement.

After the information about the coronavirus from Team Aster and iG, PSG.LGD decided to close in the hotel and just play without contacting anyone. They clearly understand that they are the top favorites and could very well earn over $ 18 million for first place. Since there are no spectators, the pressure will be extremely minimal, it will practically not be felt, the only question is the prize money, and the Chinese are very stable in this regard.

Faith_bian along with y` became the champions of The International 2016 with Wings, for XinQ the ceiling is 9-12 place at TI8 with Serenity, and Ame was closest to the championship in 2018 when he played at PSG.LGD.

Now PSG.LGD are clear favorites, in my understanding they should win this tournament and finally the LGD club will win The International. As a rule, the favorites never win, but the lack of spectators confuses the cards a lot. Individually, PSG.LGD is now the strongest team in the world, but it is not clear how they will perform in an emergency, for example, if they go to the lower bracket after the TI10 group stage.

Mini Prediction: PSG.LGD Will Become The International 10 Champions

Bookmakers single out PSG.LGD as the main favorite at The International 10 - the coefficient for their victory is extremely low - 2.248, they give to reach the final - 1.625.
