Match Prediction: T1 - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2
WePlay AniMajor 2021So that day has come. Final day of WePlay AniMajor.
There are only 3 teams left in the championship, and today one of them will raise the champion's cup over its head. PSG.LGD are already waiting for their rival in the grand final, and EG and T1 will have to find out who they will be.
The bottom bracket finalists demonstrate excellent play during the tournament. T1, reaching the top bracket in the regional league, managed to make a lot of noise in the winners.
EG, starting with a not too confident group stage, managed to go over the heads of 4 teams, among which were such formidable clubs as Nigma and Vici. Now they target T1
Both teams deserve to go to the grand final, but the vacant slot is only 1. Who will take it?
Form EG
Let's start with the nominal favorite of the confrontation. They are Evil Geniuses.
The American club is a true example of "class" and quality. For the second tournament in a row, they show the highest level of play, once again demonstrating the strength of their region.
On their way, they swept away more than one worthy team. The effectiveness of this in confirmation.
EG Recent Results
- Draw with Team Liquid 1-1
- Defeat NoPing 2-1
- Beat TNC Predator 2-1
- Nigma wins 2-0
- Defeat Vici 2-1
Such results would not have been possible without a special playstyle of evil geniuses. In this tournament, they effectively use the strategy with the so-called 3 magicians: they rate above other heroes like Timber, Tidehunter, Viper, Nature Prophet, Witch Doctor, Earth Spirit.
Maximum aggression pays off and EG, having seized an advantage at the beginning of the game, very rarely do not realize it. Therefore, "evil geniuses" are perhaps the most uncomfortable opponent for ANY team.
Form T1
Unlike EG, T1 is played in a more mundane manner using classic, meta strategies. Hence, picks like DK, Lion, Snapfire, Magnus, Enchantress, hardcore like Specter, WK, less often MK, but better without it.
And you can't say that it doesn't work. The effectiveness of this in confirmation.
T1 Latest Results
- Defeat OB Esports x Neon 2-1
- Beat TNC Predator 2-0
- Defeat Team Aster 2-0
- Defeat Quincy Crew 2-1
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
T1, in my opinion, has already proven its worth. Perhaps they will be able to cling to the game, but there is little faith in this.
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams did not play in official matches. The fight within WePlay AniMajor will be the debut face-to-face meeting.
Match outcome
As I said above, there is no belief that T1 will be able to beat EG. All the same, the "evil geniuses" are a very specific team, which makes them play their own Dota and does not let them go there.
Outcome: victory for EG.
T1 and Evil Geniuses will play against each other in the lower bracket of Weplay Animajor 2021. T1 yesterday made a steep comeback against PSG.LGD, but failed to win. Evil Geniuses had a difficult day, at first they beat Nigma 2: 0, and then defeated Vici Gaming 2: 1. The winner of this match will advance to the grand final for PSG.LGD.

Match prediction: Evil Geniuses vs T1 in Weplay Animajor 2021 Lower Bracket Final
T1 didn't show much at this tournament, they had victories over Team Aster and Quincy Crew, and PSG.LGD was presented with one card, the match with LGD had to end 0: 2 for them. Evil Geniuses, on the other hand, show themselves cool at a similar tournament stage and can get to the second final of the Major for themselves. Will they be able to overcome the "curse of third place" again - I think so. T1 was very lucky with the net and the level of play of their opponents. Evil Geniuses, on the other hand, have been starting from the first round of the lower bracket and are performing better and better with each game. Both teams guaranteed themselves a slot at The International 10, and therefore the game is played for a difference of $ 25,000. The winner guarantees himself $ 100,000, and the loser will be content with $ 75,000.
Bookmakers give odds of 3.36 on T1 and 1.364 on Evil Geniuses. I don’t believe in T1 at all, I advise you to bet on EG, here, most likely, there will be 2: 0 for them and the coefficient 2.14 may come in.
Prediction: Evil Geniuses will easily beat T1 in the Weplay Animajor 2021 Lower Bracket Final - 1.364 odds; with a risk of 2: 0 - coefficient 2.14
I think Evil Geniuses showed all their maximum in this tournament, we saw how they can play badly and vice versa. This speaks of the instability of the team, at this stage of the tournament this is not forgivable and I think that they can lose in this match. T1 show good Dota in fact, the guys played well against the Chinese teams and will now sort things out with EG, with good drafts they have every chance of winning this match.
T1 will win this match, you can risk their victory.
