Match Prediction: LGD Gaming - Aster.Aries | Dota 2

PSG.LGD will play against Aster.Aries in the first division of DPC - China. After the first 3 matches, we can conclude that the teams are not particularly motivated and, perhaps, even depressed. Here we are talking more about PSG.LGD, who now have 1 win and 2 losses; 3 cards won and 5 lost. Ame says in an interview that he plans to end his career as a player, how one can play a DPC season with such thoughts is a mystery to me.

PSG.LGD defeated Dandelion Esports 2:1 but lost to Vici Gaming 0:2 and EHOME 1:2. Aster.Aries quite sensationally crushed Xtreme Gaming 2:0, while losing to Team Aster 0:2 and Royal Never Give Up 0:2.

Aster.Aries in the last match lost to Royal Never Give Up 0:2, in the first match Chaos Knight, Necrophos, Wintern Wyvern, Tiny, Pangolier picked; in the second Alchemist, Mars, Queen of Pain, Treant Protector, Phantom Assassin.

PSG.LGD turned out to be weaker than Vici Gaming 0:2, drafted very interestingly, on the first Nature`s Prophet, Hoodwink, Phoenix, Keeper of the Light, Dawnbreaker; in the second: Wintern Wyvern, Pudge, Death Prophet, Sand King, Doom.

It seems to me that PSG.LGD are not particularly motivated, they even understand deep down that even relegation to the second division will not prevent them from getting to The International. On the other hand, many teams in China are probably aware that they are unlikely to be able to visit the Major in Arlington, even if they get there through the DPC. Points are important in the season only for The International.

In this match, I expect normal drafts from PSG.LGD and finally a good performance, they should wake up after the failure with Vici Gaming and easily close out Aster.Aries with a score of 2:0.

Bookmakers give odds of 1.138 on PSG.LGD and 5.7 on Aster.Aries; TB 2.5 on cards - 2.6; TM 2.5 on cards - 1.46; for 1 card from Aster.Aries - coefficient 2.23.

Prediction: PSG.LGD will win Aster.Aries with a score of 2:0 - odds 1.59
