Match Prediction: Invictus Gaming - PSG.LGD | Dota 2
DPC 2022 Season 1: China - Upper DivisionThe last stronghold of the DPC is ready to fall. In China, it remains to play the last day of the regular season in the top division.
You don’t want to miss such an event, and therefore we will take a close look at it. And let's start from the very end.
In the final match of the entire top division, PSG.LGD and Invictus Gaming will play. An extremely important match for the latter.
We are trying to figure out if Invictus Gaming has a chance not to be relegated from the top division and whether they will be able to oppose at least something to such giants as PSG.LGD.
Form PSG.LGD
The undisputed favorite in this match will be PSG.LGD. This is the opinion of the bookmaker, who evaluate the chance of the Parisians winning with odds around 1.2.
It is impossible to call these quotes sucked from the finger, because in the new season PSG.LGD did not give up at all. The Parisian champions had problems at the start of the league, and they also blundered against EHOME, but this did not stop them from getting to this match with a 6-0 score.

Invictus Gaming kit
Invictus Gaming will act as catch-ups in this match. Absolutely deserved.
Even if IG were at their best, against PSG.LGD they would still be considered an underdog. What can we say about the current IG?

After The International 10, there was one change in the IG line-up, but how did she play. Fade could not outshine Kaka with his game, and in addition to this, the rest of the players decided to seriously sag in form, this is especially evident in the flyfly and Emo pair

Like PSG.LGD, IG is currently playing at the Intel World Open Bejing 2022, where they show the game clearly better than at DPC 2021/22, but this does not help them much either. The only gap in the form of a victory over Aster.Aries somehow does not fit with the TOP-4 of The International.
Heroes of Invictus Gaming
The most picked characters are Winter Wyvern (5 matches, 100% win rate), Nyx Assassin (5 matches, 60% win rate), Lion (5 matches, 20% win rate).
The most successful heroes are the same Winter Wyvern + Storm Spirit (4 matches 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Earlier, the teams managed to play each other in the playoffs of the Intel World Open Bejing 2022. Then PSG.LGD celebrated an unconditional victory.
Match result
In a good way, there should be a complete spacing of IG. The team in the new season is not ready to offer PSG.LGD an equal fight, not to mention the victory over the giant.
You can be "paranoid" and assume that PSG.LGD, out of the kindness of their hearts, will decide to help their colleagues and casually give away the series. Then they themselves risk going to replays and getting an extra headache.
Whether the PSG.LGD alignment described above is necessary is a rhetorical question. After this match, IG should go to the lower division.
Outcome: PSG.LGD win.
