Match Prediction: Thunder Predator - Team Secret | Dota 2
ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021After the group stage, not too successful for forecasts, we jump to the main course of the first major of the season. Secret and Tunder Predator will play in the first round of the upper bracket of the playoffs.
Before the start of the tournament, I saw such an alignment only in very daring dreams. In fact, the duel between these clubs may turn out to be the most epic fight of the entire tournament.
Well, I can't deny myself the pleasure of poking my finger into the sky. Therefore, we figure out who has the most chances to advance through winners, and who has to walk through losers.
Secret form
We start the analysis with a fresh team within the ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021 by PGL. How happy that Team Secret turned out to be like that.
In general, there is nothing to say about Secret. The team actually dominated throughout the year, only occasionally allowing opponents to take cards.
This was the case in small online tournaments, and so it was in the DPC league, in which they did not lose a single match. Refreshing the results in memory.
Team Secret's last 5 matches
- Defeat Nigma 2-0
- Defeat Liquid 2-0
- Defeat Alliance 2-1
- Defeat High Coast Esports 2-0
- Defeat OG 2-0
So far, Team Secret has not raised any questions, and the tendency of the Major shows that the “fresh” teams that immediately made it to the playoffs feel great and easily outplay their opponents. This was the case with EG, this is the case with IG now and perhaps it will be so with Team Secret.
Thunder Predator Form
From Secret, we move on to real Peruvian predators. How happy it is that this very five got into Secret in the playoffs.
At the end of the group stage, you non-ironically begin to believe that it is Thunder Predator who can defeat the main team in Europe. The latest results from the Peruvians inspire even more hope
Thunder Predator last 5 matches
- Defeat Quincy Crew 2-0
- Defeat Team Aster 2-0
- Draw in the match with OB Esports x Neon 1-1
- Draw in the match with Vici Gaming 1-1
- Defeat PSG.LGD 2-0
Although the team has an incomprehensible draw against Neon, and the victory over PSG.LGD is dubious at all (the Chinese went to the second pick), this by no means overshadows Thunder. Is that really enough for a fight with Secret?
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams have not met in official matches. The fight within the ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021 will be the debut.
Match outcome
As much as I would not like to believe in a fairy tale, it seems to me that they cannot defeat Secret Thunder Predator yet. Yes, we remember the relationship of Secret with teams from South America (departure from The Kiev Major 2017 in the first round from SG e-sports), but those were not the same Secret.
Puppey and company were clearly hungry for victories. They should earn the first in a match against Thunder Predator.
Outcome: Secret victory.
Team Secret is considered the favorite not only in this meeting, but also in the tournament. I think this match will be very interesting, Thunder Predator skated through solid teams in the group stage and I think that they are not going to lose without a chance, even to a team like Secret. Secret are of course skillful guys, but in such matches they may have problems due to underestimation of the opponent and so on. Of course, they watched the games of their opponent, but Thunder Predator has much more motivation and I think that these guys will definitely take the card.
Thunder Predator play confidently at all stages of the game, I really like that they do not hesitate to take not quite standard heroes and go ahead. In this match against Secret, they will show all their best qualities and show a decent game!
I recommend to live and give preference to the Thunder Predator team.
Forecast for the match between Thunder Predator and Team Secret within the first playoff round of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021. TP impressed everyone with their cool performance in the group, will the Secret be able to counter them - we will find out today!
Thunder Predator - Beaten by Alliance, Team Aster, Quincy Crew, Team Liquid and PSG.LGD in the group stage. They drew with Neon Esports and Vici Gaming. The match with LGD can be ignored, there was more fun, but they showed their signature Earthshaker and Shadow Fiend level 25 Dota Plus. Apparently some strategies still remain after the 7 best of 2-series.
In general, the Thunder Predator team rates Wraith King/Ursa/Troll Warlord on carry, in mid Shadow Fiend/Death Prophet. DP they flex to different positions, ranging from three to five. They also have a good four for Earth Spirt/Earthshaker.
The team does not play with IO and this is their only oversight, which with Team Secret can cost a comfortable draft.
There is nothing special to say about Team Secret so far, I would like to focus on the European region: Nigma flew out with WildCard, Alliance finished their way in the group stage, Team Liquid in the lower bracket. Something, but shows such a news bulletin. The secrets are, of course, an unconditional top-1 there, but they have no experience of playing with teams from another region, while Thunder Predator played with everyone and, roughly speaking, have already disagreed.
It is not yet clear what Team Secret will play against Thunder Predator, knowing Puppey, on one map he will definitely try to give TP signatures and counter them. The main question is: does any of the Secret play on Wisp or have some kind of cool strategy against IO?!
Many were disappointed that Thunder Predator was caught by Team Secret. I think that this experience of playing with the grand and the main contender for the championship is very important for them, TP will be able to draw conclusions and take a fairly high place in the tournament.
Forecast for the match Thunder Predator vs Team Secret at ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021
I would like to believe in Thunder Predator, but this is not the best of 2, Team Secret will clearly be charged to win. Secret as the clear favorite, Thunder Predator as the dark horse, it might help them, but I doubt it. The most offensive thing is that maybe 2: 0 in favor of Team Secret, I want to believe in a colorful match, but the Secret will win.
Bookmakers give 1.39 odds on Team Secret, the success of Thunder Predator was estimated at 3.098. We advise you to bet on 2: 0 in favor of Secret, but we will see bright 2 cards.
