Match Prediction: Elephant.4AM - Sparking Arrow Gaming | Dota 2
Elephant and SAG will meet during the regular season of the DPC League. The winners of the second division of the first season will try to beat the roster of the Chinese superstars led by rOtK.
The preliminary data suggests that Sparking Arrow Gaming has little chance, to put it mildly. We are trying to figure out whether this is true or not.
Elephant shape
Countless times I have started my debriefing with the Elephant form. Perhaps the Elephant is my favorite team in 2021, at least in China.
However, I don't care about my preferences, let's move on to the more substantive part of the analysis. Let's start with the Elephant condition.
I won't be lying if I say that the beginning of 2021 turned out to be almost a nightmare for Elephant. The most promising team actually failed the entire first season of the DPC and almost miraculously found itself out of the relegation zone from the title division.
Having avoided such a shameful outcome for themselves, Elephant transforms in the second season. The lion's share in this, as for me, was played by rOtK, who became the coach of the Chinese five.
Elephant's last matches
- Win against RNG 2-1
- Win against Team MagMa 2-0
- Lose against RNG with a score of 0-2
- Win against Team MagMa 2-0
- Win against EHOME 2-0
So far, Elephant inspires confidence. The team performs in parallel at both i-League 2021 and DPC 2021: Season 2, demonstrating a pretty good game.
Sparking Arrow Gaming Form
Sparking Arrow Gaming will oppose the “elephants”. The winners of the second division in the first season put themselves to the test against the best teams in the region.
So far, it turns out not too confidently. After the end of the first DPC season, SAGs show not just a bad game, I would say even a terrible one.
Sparking Arrow Gaming last 5 matches
- Lose against Phoenix Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Lose against Elephant 0-2
- Lose against Digital Gaming 0-2
- Defeat against ShenZhen 1-2
- Lose against RNG with a score of 0-2
I would be very surprised if such a streak of losses is interrupted in the match against Elephant. There is some minimal probability of this, but I don't even want to think about it.
Personal meeting history
Elephant and SAG managed to play several official games before their meeting in the first division of the second season. For 3 matches, SAG did not manage to win maps either.
Match outcome
Statistically, SAG has no chance of winning. Statistics often fail, but this time I completely trust her.
Outcome: victory for Elephant.
In the first division of Perfect World DPC 2021, there will be a match between Elephant and Sparking Arrow Gaming. The game will be played during the second week of the DPC season.
Sparking Arrow Gaming lost the first match of Royal Never Give Up with a score of 0: 2 on cards. Elephant defeated EHOME 2: 0 yesterday, although they had been defeated in many tournaments before. The new patch inspired the Elephant players and now there is a certain faith in them. I would especially like to note the contribution of rOtk, at last we can trace the progress in their results. The season is very important for them, because this is actually a ticket to The International 2021.
Sparking Arrow Gaming is played by: idc, 7e, Son Goku, Srf, XCj, the Elephant roster includes Eurus, Somnus, Yang, fy, RedPanda.

Match Prediction: Sparking Arrow Gaming vs. Elephant in Perfect World DPC 2021
Bookmakers give incredibly strange quotes for this match, the odds for the victory of Sparking Arrow Gaming - 9.1, at Elephant 1.05. Why this is so - I still cannot understand. SAG played only one game in a month, lost to Royal Never Give Up; Elephant is often played, and you can easily prepare for them in terms of drafts and at least compete with them. This is clearly not the case of 9.1 and therefore it should be used. Most likely in LIVE mode, of course the Elephant will win, but most likely SAGs will take at least one card.
