The main tournament of the year has started and this cannot but rejoice. We continue to monitor The International 10 playoffs.
Matches for life, ladies and gentlemen. Alliance vs. T1.
Quite an unexpected couple on the way out, but this is The International and anything can happen here.
We figure out who will be stronger in this fight and move further along the grid, and who will have to go home.
Form T1
T1 is the nominal favorite for this match. I think it's pointless to deny it.
T1 has been growing towards The International 10 throughout the year and it seems that they have grown. Although the start in the group stage did not go well, the team from South-East Asia fought their way into the upper bracket.
Already in the playoffs, T1 met a formidable opponent - PSG.LGD. The status of an opponent did not break the spirit of T1 and Ku and the company managed to squeeze the card from the Chinese giants, which was not possible during this tournament except for Secret.
T1 Latest Results
- Defeat Team Aster 2-0
- Defeat Alliance 2-0
- Defeat Undying 2-0
- Beat Thunder Predator 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
It seemed that the streak of victories over not the most top teams did not seem to be something outstanding, but I repeat: the map taken from PSG.LGD, and very confidently taken, is worth a lot.

Alliance Form
The Europeans from Alliance will act as the catch-up in this match. Again, I think there will be no complaints about the Alliance status.
The Europeans made their way to The International 10 thanks to their successful intra-region performance during the season.
In the international arena, Alliance, to put it mildly, was unlucky. The International 10 is no exception.
Alliance had a terrible group stage. As for me, they were lucky to be in the same group with Thunder, who were generally absent from this The International.
In the playoffs, Alliance unexpectedly perked up and, unexpectedly for me, beat a very solid opponent. And they outplayed absolutely without any problems.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play with each other three times during the season. All 3 times the victory was celebrated by T1.
Match outcome
As for me, Alliance has already exhausted itself at this tournament. I would be very surprised if Alliance will come out victorious here, but they will definitely try to squeeze the Alliance card and maybe they will succeed.
Outcome: victory for T1.
