Match Prediction: PSG.LGD - RNG | Dota 2
DPC 2021/2022 China Tour 3: Division IEarlier, I analyzed the match EHOME vs Dandelion Esports Club. Now it's time to talk about the second match, which will take place on the same game day. PSG.LGD will face Royal Never Give Up. For the latter, this meeting will mean little, as they are firmly positioned at the top of the group stage and, with 5-1 statistics, have already secured a trip to the Major Dota 2 tournament, which will be held in Arlington. PSG.LGD, in turn, can hardly stay on the sixth line, and if one of the teams in the 7th position is ahead of PSG.LGD, then Ame and his teammates can go to the lower division in the next round. It is worth paying attention to this when summarizing the results, since the factor is quite important.
Experts from bookmakers believe that the participants of the meeting have almost equal chances of winning.

PSG.LGD, as mentioned earlier, are currently in sixth position in the group stage table and are on the verge of relegation from the top 6, which threatens the team to go to the lower division in the next Dota Pro Circuit season. Ame and his teammates are not at that level on the professional stage to allow such things, and therefore the team will fight for their status to the last. I would like to note the fact that recently PSG.LGD became the first team to enter The International 2022. Now PSG.LGD has two wins and three losses. The team beat Dandelion Esports Club and Aster Aries, but couldn't oppose something worthy in the matches against Xtreme Gaming, Vici Gaming and EHOME. Card statistics - 5 won and 7 lost. The last meeting that was played as part of the Dota Pro Circuit Season 2021/2022 China Tour 3 Division 1 was lost in a draw. Ame and his teammates did not manage to take a single card from their opponents from Xtreme Gaming, which may indicate that they are not in the best playing shape. However, the meeting took place on July 3, which was almost a week ago, and therefore, in the past time, the players had enough time to prepare for the match against the strongest representative of the top division.

Royal Never Give Up is the main and undeniable favorite of the top division of the Chinese Dota 2 league. The team shows the best results during the championship. At the beginning of its journey, the team was defeated in the fight against Dandelion Esports Club, and after that they did not suffer a single defeat. Royal Never Give Up have already beaten EHOME, Aster.Aries, Vici Gaming, Team Aster and Xtreme Gaming. PSG.LGD is next in line, but this time the team can really fail.

Conclusion
The situation with the match is really ambiguous. Experts from bookmakers believe that the chances of winning are equal and I agree with them. On the one hand, we see very strong Royal Never Give Up this season, which have a series of five victories and the team is in very good shape and morale. In the other corner of the ring is Ame and his teammates from PSG.LGD, the team that became the first participant in The International 2022. The team itself should be strong enough, but in the ongoing Chinese Dota 2 league, this is still noticeably rather weak. PSG.LGD are on the verge of being eliminated from the top division, so the team needs to pull themselves together and give a strong fight to their opponents, who in turn can relax.
The match should be even, and here you can think about alternative markets like Handicap +1.5 cards on PSG.LGD or Total over 2.5 cards due to the fact that the match should be even. However, I think that this time you can do without it and just bet on PSG.LGD to win. Players should prepare for this duel very well and give a good fight to the players from Royal Never Give Up. For Ame, this fight can become a fundamental one, and therefore I believe in the victory of PSG.LGD. Defeating the strongest representative in the league and securing a continued stay in the top division is what my favorites will be aiming for in this confrontation. And the odds to win PSG.LGD are already too good to use some kind of handicap and other markets - bookmakers offer 1.90.
Final bet: PSG.LGD to win at odds of 1.90
