Match Prediction: Team Secret - PSG.LGD | Dota 2
The Internationa 2021The Dota holiday is slowly but surely drawing to a close. There are only 5 teams left in the tournament, and after this fight we will find out the name of the first finalist of The International 10.
Perhaps the opposition is worthy of the grand final. West versus East. Two facets of the Dota paradigm.
Team Secret, hiding after the first season, are ready to surprise at this tournament. Anniversary tournament of the TI series for Puppey, which he really really wants to take into his piggy bank.
PSG.LGD demonstrates the highest level of play all year round. Everyone expected from them a filigree performance at 10 The International, and they more than justify these expectations.
We are figuring out who will eventually emerge as the winner in this match and advance to the grand final.
PSG.LGD Form
The favorite of the confrontation in this match will be PSG.LGD. Obviously it is.
I have already said that in every match at this TI PSG.LGD will be in favor. Even with such a formidable rival as Secret.
Much has been said about PSG.LGD. They are practically flawless: they lost only 2 maps in the tournament, while not showing, as for me, even half of their power.
PSG.LGD still has a lot of interesting things in stock. In the match against Virtus.pro, we saw that it was not difficult for the Chinese to flex heroes and outplay opponents right at the drafting stage. It will be difficult to do this with Secret, but it is quite possible.

Heroes PSG.LGD
Top Picked PSG.LGD Heroes in The International 10: Elder Titan (4 matches, 100% win), Magnus (3 matches, 100% win), Snapfire (2 matches, 100% win), Faceless Void (2 matches, 100% victories).
It is clear that, having lost only 1 card in a group, all these heroes have a 100% win rate.
Team Secret uniform
Team Secret will act as an outsider in this match. Absolutely deserved.
Even such a formidable team as Secret look much weaker than PSG.LGD. However, in 2018, OG also looked like an absolute outsider, and we remember the outcome.
Puppey is clearly well prepared for the tournament. The tactic of calmness in the second half of the season turned out to be the right decision: Secret put the vigilance of all teams to sleep, and at The International itself they began to open up.
Like PSG.LGD, Puppey still has some presets. I'm sure of that.

PSG.LGD are clear contenders for the championship, but everything will be around NothingToSay, Team Secret has very experienced players in their roster, and their heroes are very different. While the LGDs clearly have to go to the grand final, Team Secret may well stop them, but I absolutely can't believe it. The maximum for Secret is 1 card, you definitely won't be able to win.
