PSG.LGD are widely regarded as the strongest team in the Chinese region, and for good reason. The team has already won DPC CN 2023 Tour 1: Division I and DPC CN 2023 Tour 3: Division I in this ranking season, while PSG.LGD have already claimed silver in DPC CN 2023 Tour 2: Division I. The team's main problem this year is the international competition. NothingToSay and his teammates finished 9th-12th at the Lima Major 2023 and the ESL One Berlin Major 2023.
The only truly excellent result for the Chinese side was the recently concluded DreamLeague Season 20, the second leg of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023. There, the Chinese club made it to Group A, where they managed to finish in second place with a 1-6-0 result. The second group stage was even easier for PSG.LGD. Six wins and the only defeat by BetBoom Team guaranteed them first place and a passage to the final of the top flight play-offs. Unfortunately, the Chinese top club first lost to the aforementioned BetBoom Team, before losing 1-2 to the defending champions Gaimin Gladiators in a lively bo3 series. Bronze at DreamLeague Season 20 earned the Chinese $120,000

Following the conclusion of the previous season, the Evil Geniuses organization has announced a change of region for their Dota 2 roster. In South America this year, Evil Geniuses will boast silver medals on DPC SA 2023 Tour 1: Division I and DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Division I as well as a win on DPC SA 2023 Tour 3: Division I. The international scene was not without Evil Geniuses either. Matthew and the team finished fifth or sixth at the Lima Major 2023, and at the Berlin Major the players finished fourth in the standings, earning 350 DPC points and $50,000. In addition to the rated championships, the team played in the DreamLeague Season 19, where they reached the second group stage and showed a good game. Seventh place allowed the Evil Geniuses to earn $42,500.
DreamLeague Season 20 was the last Evil Geniuses event before the Bali Major 2023. The second leg of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 tournament series was a good preparation for the Major event. In Group A, Evil Geniuses didn't have much to show for it, finishing on a series of seven draws. A series of bo1 tiebreakers against Tundra Esports and Team Secret allowed them to reach the second group stage. There, the team won three times and lost four times, earning the Peruvians sixth place in the standings and $47,500.

Predicted results for PSG.LGD vs Evil Geniuses
Given the high level of play of both teams, we should expect an intense matchup. Nominally PSG.LGD is stronger, but EG are better at international level, so we'll bet on a draw.
Evil Geniuses is the 8th team in the world rankings. All three rounds of DPC only manage to finish in 2nd place, as there is absolutely no way to beat beastcoast, but the team is obviously stronger than bc, given the results of the last majors. EG managed to take the 5th-6th place at the Lima Major, though if they hadn't made a stupid mistake, they could have got higher. Nevertheless, the result is still decent. The Dreamleague Season 19 was slightly worse, ending up in 7th place. At the Berlin Major, they managed to climb to 4th place, which is a very strong achievement. DreamLeague Season 20, on the other hand, improved by one position on the previous season. They were placed 6th.
PSG.LGD is the 2nd team in the world ranking. The team has not been having the best of times. In the Chinese region, PDC finished the first round in the 1st place, with no chances to beat all their opponents. But at the Lima Major, they failed to achieve high results and the team left the tournament with 9-12th places. The second round of the DPC was also quite good. As a result, they ended up in 2nd place, leaving behind Xtreme Gaming. DreamLeague S19 was skipped by the organization. Berlin major also held not too successfully. They took the same 9-12th position in the table. In the 3rd round, DPC again took the lead. But at DreamLeague S20, they've shown a great performance, taking 3rd place at the end of the tournament.
So far EG has some clear problems and with such results of the first game day I can't believe in their victory against LGD even on one card.
I'm a prognosticator, I live only by it. I dedicate all my time to it. I have no other interests.
I have been doing it for a long time and have had some success. Believe me or not, it's up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you will like this life too!
