Match Prediction: Evil Geniuses - Elephant.4AM | Dota 2

The main tournament of the year has started and this cannot but rejoice. We got to the playoffs of The International 10 and, most juicy, to the knockout matches.

Another match for life at The International 10 is imminent. This time the fight is heavyweight.

Quite unexpectedly for me personally, these two teams ended up in the lower bracket. If with Elephant it was still possible to expect such a group outcome for the team, then Evil Geniuses disappointed.

Well, what they fought for and ran into. Now the teams will have to decide in a depressing bo1 who will go on and who will get the 16th place.

Evil Geniuses form

Many in the community predicted a cloudless future for them and almost Aegis, and there were still some prerequisites for this.

The team, according to them, without actually training twice took 2nd place in the Major. In the group stage, it seemed like they started right, and then something happened and here is EG

Evil Geniuses Latest Results

• Draw with Alliance 1-1
• Draw with OG 1-1
• Beat Thunder Predator 2-0
• Defeat to Virtus.pro with a score of 0-2
• Draw with Undying 1-1

EG could cling to the upper bracket, they took the second card from Undying, but the compatriots did not let it into replays. It seems that EG has moral problems and the psychologist did not help.

Evil Geniuses Heroes

Most played heroes at The International 10 for EG: Monkey King (5 matches, 40% win), Tidehunter (4 matches, 50% win), Ember Spirti (4 matches, 100% win).

Most successful: Ember (4-0), Silincer (2-0).

Elephant shape

Elephant will act as the catch-up in this match. Let's admit.

The Chinese "super" team once again proved that they are not very super. It could be assumed that by The International 10 the team will cheer up and show the class, but this did not happen. And it is quite natural.

• Lost to Team Spirit 2-0
• Draw with Team Secret 1-1
• Beat SG e-sports 2-0
• Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
• Defeat to Elephant 0-2

Elephant play sluggishly, and EG was caught in the opponents. If they were in a match against another team, there would be more chances.

Elephant Heroes

In patch 7.30, Elephant most often chose Hoodwink (4 matches, 50% win), Phoenix (4 matches, 50% win), Night Stalker (4 matches, 50% win).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams did not play with each other. The International 10 playoffs will be the debut face-to-face meeting.

Match outcome

I will not tire of repeating that anything is possible in Bo1. Even though EG is the favorite, Elephant may well prove itself and squeeze the card from the "Evil Geniuses".

I will trust the bookmakers and bet on EG. I just do not represent Evil Geniuses in the TOP-16.

Outcome: victory for EG.
