Match Prediction: Execration - Team Secret | Dota 2
WePlay AniMajor 2021The second game day of WePlay AniMajor will bring us, at first glance, a not very interesting match. In it, the absolute favorite in the person of Secret will play with Execration.
Indeed, the match seems very predictable and the outcome looks quite literal. Nevertheless, this is a major, and here every fight can be decisive.
Matches in the Wild Card are especially valuable, from which only 2 teams pass further. It seems to me that Secret still want to play at least in the group stage, despite the "unnecessary" tournament.
Secret form.
Let's start the discussion with a clear favorite, Team Secret. There is no arguing with the fact that Secret look a few goals higher in this match, but there is a "nuance".
It lies in the motivation of Secret. You can say as much as you like that this is a major, prestige and so on, but let's face it: Secret has no need to jump over its head for the sake of $ 200,000 and unnecessary DPC points - Secret is already at The International.
I think what we saw from them in the second season of the DPC is another confirmation of Secret's relaxedness. Apparently the example of OG is very contagious and the teams all follow it, however, unlike OG themselves, they still go to the majors.
Secret Recent Results
- Beat Tundra Esports 2-1
- Lost to Alliance with a score of 1-2
- Lost to OG with a score of 0-2
- Defeat Team Liquid 2-1
- Win over Brame 2-0
Top Picked Heroes: Snapfire, Centaur, Beastmaster, Sven, Winter Wyvern. However, if you see Centaur at Secret, then there is a great chance of losing (out of 4 matches with this hero, Secret won only 1 time).
Execration Form
We have already mentioned Execration, but we are doing it again. The team, in the opinion of probably the majority, is a total outsider not only of the match, but of the entire tournament as a whole.
Coming out of a rather chaotic region, Execration themselves play in this style. This explains the ridiculous losses to teams like Lilgun.
Results of the last matches
- Defeat South Built Esports 2-0
- Defeat Fnatic 2-0
- Defeat from Motivade. Trust Gaming with a score of 0-2
- Defeat then OB Esports x Neon with a score of 0-2
- Lost to Lilgun 0-2
I don't know what Lilgun should hope for, but it will be incredibly difficult for them in the match against Secret. The only thing that can be hoped for is a repetition of the result of Thunder Predator last season, although this is hard to believe.
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams managed to play once - at The International 7. Then the victory was celebrated by Secret.
Match outcome
It is worth mentioning right away that after today in the Major, the outcomes for tomorrow's matches can be adjusted. So far, this has not happened and if everything goes according to the most expected scenario, then Secret should easily win with a score of 2-0.

Prediction: Team Secret vs. Execration as part of the Wildcard for Weplay Animajor 2021
It's hard to imagine, but after the first game day, there is no firm confidence in the victory of Team Secret, the Filipinos look very cool and yesterday they beat iG without any problems, but there is a draw.
Team Secret played very indistinctly, it is difficult even to realize what they will be able to show in the future. There are thoughts that they may not get into the group stage. Experimenting with drafts, on the five: Hoodwink, Bane, on the Magnus/Slardar three, Troll Warlord in the mid lane. Team Secret is clearly worth wary of Lone Druid/Broodmother, Morphling, and Execration play completely different characters and it will be very difficult to prepare for them.
Bookmakers give 1.525 odds on Team Secret, draws are estimated at 3.44 and 11.5 on Execration. I advise you to believe in a draw for the odds of 3.4, the victory of the Filipinos also looks very possible despite the quotes.
Prediction: Team Secret will beat Execration in the Wildcard stage to Weplay Animajor 2021 - 3.44 odds
Execration surprised absolutely everyone yesterday, they did not lose a single meeting in the best of 2 format. The guys were able to play with strong teams in a 1-1 draw and today they will fight with the Secret team. Team Secret is an experienced team and I hope they understand that they need to win such meetings in order to move further in this tournament. Today they will play their game, take on strong and meta characters and prove their superiority over the opponent. The main thing is to work on your mistakes and move on, I am sure that Puppey wants to win such meetings without any problems.
I recommend betting on Team Secret in this match.
