Match Prediction: RSG - Xerxia | Dota 2

RSG will play against XERXIA in the lower bracket at the qualification for The International 11 (South East Asia). XERXIA continues to surprise at these qualifiers, RSG play more or less consistently.

RSG defeated Neon Esports 2:0 during these qualifiers, and then quite expectedly lost to T1 0;2. XERXIA started their journey in the lower bracket and this is exactly the team that surprises with every game, on the other hand, it is not clear why they continue to be given to Slark, especially in decisive games.

XERXIA has already managed to defeat TNC Predator 1:0, Nigma Galaxy SEA 2:1 and Army Geniuses 2:1 in the lower bracket. I did not expect that they would be able to defeat Army Geniuses, I thought they would definitely take 1 card, but the series is unlikely. In general, I watched the game, on the third there were constant coups, but Slark from Ken inspired confidence.

XERXIA Heroes Used in The International 11 Qualifiers (South East Asia):

• Ken: Slark/Anti-Mage/Templar Assassin
• JG: Batrider/Ember Spirit/Invoker
• Rupido: Death Prophet/Primal Beast/Dawnbreaker/Viper
• LuziFy: Earthshaker/Rubick/Elder Titan
• Teehee: Enchantress/Nature`s Prophet/Undying/Marci

RSG have already started to take their signature Marci for a three, they are rated for a five - Omniknight, and don't forget about their Primal Beast in the mid. I wouldn't really take into account their game with T1, Topson & co is in unreal form there. RSG will definitely fight for Slark, at least they should, if they don't want to fly away like Nigma Galaxy SEA and Army Geniuses. Still, it’s real, in Southeast Asia everyone can beat everyone, this was confirmed by Neon Esports and the same XERXIA Esports.

RSG played XERXIA only 1 time in April when XERXIA were still under UD VessuWan tag, RSG then won 2:0, I think that 1 map is the ceiling for XERXIA, but everything can be in this SEA, except for looses from T1.

• RSG win - odds 1.44
• XERXIA win - odds 2.872
• TB 2.5 on cards - coefficient 2.06
• TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.71

For 1 card from XERXIA - coefficient 1.59; I expect RSG to ban Slark and not give them a single card, not playing XERXIA perfectly. It is logical here to catch 1 card from XERXIA at the expense of drafts, but I would tend to 2:0 from RSG for 2.27.

Prediction: RSG will beat XERXIA - odds 1.44; with risk on RSG with a score of 2:0 - coefficient 2.27

RSG are listed as the favorites of the match in the majority of bookmakers and odds on them are equal to 1.255. Xerxia, in turn, are the outsiders of the match. Odds on their victory are about 5.643.
