Match Prediction: 9 Pandas - Nemiga Gaming | Dota 2
DPC 2023 Tour 3: EEU Division I (Upper)Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We have prepared a betting tip on 9Pandas vs Nemiga Gaming for the third round of DPC 2023 Eastern Europe. "The Pandas will play their first game of the last draw, while for Nemiga Gaming it will be their second series with Long Songpeg DPC 2023.
We tell you what to expect from the upcoming encounter and is there a place for The International rigs here? Will Nemiga, who came to the top division from League Two, be able to put up a fight against the world's top 3 team in the form of 9Pandas.
Let's begin.
9Pandas fixtures
Let's start the Nemiga Gaming vs 9Pandas match-up with an analysis of the latter's form. In this match they will play in the status of favorites.
It's silly to be surprised by such a position. 9Pandas stand out from other Eastern European teams, and quite seriously too.
Back in the last season, the Pandas showed their best side. Team Solo not without problems, but they finished DPC 2023: Tour 2 with a place in the top 1 and a ticket to the ESL One Berlin Major 2023. The latest tournament was a particular landmark for the Pandas.
In Berlin, the team was not forced to play in full squad. Solo, the captain, missed the tournament due to his inability to get a German visa, and his place was taken by RodjER.
To the surprise of most fans, and to their own personal surprise, 9Pandas made it to the top of the play-offs grid and there "fought it out". It went so well that 9Pandas made it to the top 3, leaving Tundra and Shopify Rebellion behind.
They lost to Liquid in the bottom-feeder final, but the experience they gained at ESL One Berlin Major 2023 should play into DPC 2023: Tour 3 in Eastern Europe. If they managed to win the previous season, this one should go much easier.
- The line-up of 9Pandas: Ramzes, Kiyotaka, MieRo, Antares, Solo.
Especially at DPC 2023: EEU Tour 3 the roster will be full, which is definitely a plus for 9Pandas. At least in the match against Nemiga Gaming for sure.
The most popular 9Pandas characters
The most picked-up character for 9Pandas at The Berlin Major 2023 is Skywrath Mage. He has appeared in Pandas games 6 times and has 3 wins.
He is followed by Bounty Hunter (4 matches, 50% wins), Tiny (3 matches, 66% wins), and Bloodseeker (3 matches, 33% wins). Also glimpsed in the pool are Chen and Doom (2 matches each, 100% wins), as well as Enchantress (2 matches, 50% wins).
In the group stage 9 Pandas played with Alchemist and in general the team shows a very dynamic Dota 2.
Now let's talk about Nemiga Gaming, who will try to compete with 9 Pandas. It will be difficult, realistic, but difficult.
The form of Nemiga Gaming
Let's move on to a breakdown of Nemiga Gaming's form. In this match, they will be playing in underdog status, and for the second time this season.
The first time they played as underdogs was against Hydra, where it is believable, but it still seems they have quite a few chances there. Here - no chance at all. Literally.
While 9Pandas have a top-3 Major, and before that a top-1 at DPC 2023: EEU Upper Division Tour 2 and a win at Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1, Nemiga's only achievement remains reaching the first division.
Yes, it was easy and colourful: Nemiga Gaming didn't lose a series in the lower division in the second round, but it's certainly not enough to rival 9Pandas
- Nemiga Gaming line-up: v1olent, Malr1ne, Vazya, Hellscream, so bad .
In addition to the above, Nemiga Gaming are experiencing roster difficulties. In March this year, the club lost its main headliner, kiritych. Not to say that this will completely destroy them as a capable unit, but it will go wrong - that's a fact.
Nemiga's most popular heroes
Over the last month the most chosen Nemiga Gaming hero was Disruptor (6 games. 100% wins), Pangolier (5 games, 80% wins). Monkey King, Terrorblade, Clockwerk, Snapfire, Rubick and Primal Beast were each played 4 times. MK, TB, Clockwerk and Snapfire have 100% each, Rubick has 75, and Primal Beast has won 2 matches.
History of head-to-head encounters
The match in DPC 2023: EEU Upper Division Tour 3 is the teams' debut face-off. The 9Pandas and Nemiga Gaming have never met at this level or in this line-up before.
Predicted result of Nemiga Gaming vs 9Pandas
I would like to believe in a miracle, i.e. the card taken by Nemiga Gaming, but not here and not here. DPC 2023: EEU Upper Division Tour 3 matters a lot, and for 9Pandas it's critical, because after a top-3 finish at ESL One Berlin Major 2023 they are very close to qualifying for The International 2023.
"Pandas need to win the season, let alone this series. It's all too obvious as it is.
Bottom line: a 2-0 win for 9Pandas.
