We continue to follow the almost dress rehearsal of The International 10. The OGA Dota PIT Invitational continues with the T1 match against PSG.LGD.
The battle of the eastern regions is always an entertaining sight, especially when teams of PSG.LGD and T1 scale are fighting.
Of course, it's not worth waiting for fully tuned teams, nevertheless, I think we are guaranteed a bright show. Let's see whether it will be so or not.
PSG.LGD Form
PSG.LGD will be the favorite for this match. There are several questions to this.
Of course, at the last ESL One Fall 2021 PSG.LGD shone, and the title is better than the world team is not just handed out. But nevertheless, this seems to be far from the optimal form of PSG.LGD, and we see confirmation of this already at this championship.
Yesterday's match against Undying can hardly be called indicative, because PSG.LGD were on the verge of losing. Of course, I don't think they are very worried about this, but still.

Form T1
T1 will act as the catch-up in this match. In principle, you can agree.
T1 plays in waves. The team shows the class at ESL One Summer 2021, but later remains virtually invisible at ESL One Fall 2021.
This time, T1's debut match turned out to be very indicative. The team is experimenting and is not afraid to take curious heroes like Sniper for 1 position and so on. This is captivating.

History of personal confrontations
The teams played 3 matches earlier in the season. PSG.LGD won each time: twice with a score of 2-1 and once dry.
The outcome of the fight
The OGA Dota PIT Invitational is the last major milestone before the monthly lull due to TI10. It is clearly not worth expecting from the teams in excess of the game. Especially from these two teams.
T1, it seems, even at the last ESL One Fall 2021 showed that they are not ready to give all their best, and PSG.LGD are having fun as they can, while winning left and right. In this fight, I'm looking forward to a fun game and memorable cards.
Based on yesterday's PSG.LGD match, I think T1 will definitely be able to take one card, if not win at all.
Bottom line: +1.5 on T1.
