Match Prediction: Invictus Gaming - Team MagMa | Dota 2
i-League 2021 Season 1The third week of the i-League group stage is gradually coming to an end. There are several more matches ahead of us with the participation of TOP teams and the battle of Invictus Gaming against MagMa is one of such matches.
Will MagMa be able to impose a fight on the best team in the world today and will IG be able to start the championship with a victory. We are trying to find answers to these questions in the material below.
IG form
It's nice to come back to the analysis of the Invictus Gaming game again. A lot of time has passed since the Singapore Major, and I already miss the game of champions.
Of course, in the match against MagMa IG they look like unconquerable favorites. It is not surprising.
Throughout the season, the team demonstrates the strongest game, which first sends the club straight to the playoffs of the Major, and later helps to win the first tournament of this status in a year and a half. As for me, at least this should be enough to consider IG favorites in the next few tournaments.
Of course, we will remember IG's achievements during the ONE Esports Singapore Major, but are they only so important here?
Invictus Gaming Latest Results
- Lost to EG 0-2
- Beat Thunder Predator 2-1
- Win over Secret 2-0
- Defeat PSG.LGD 2-1
- Beat EG 3-2
The only thing that can somehow tip the scales towards MagMa's victory is Invictus Gaming's lack of playing practice after the Major. However, now IG is a top-class team, and therefore I am completely confident in them.
MagMa form
MagMa will compete against the reigning Dota 2 world champions. A promising, young, but still not up to the level of performance team.
To be honest, I'm happy for MagMa. Although the team does not show results, they still managed to break through to the stars of the Chinese scene and have been playing with them for several months.
Perhaps this is the best that a young team can get who wants to grow into something worthy in the future. I think MagMa will have all the prerequisites for this.
MagMa last 5 matches
- Victory against Aster.Aries, 2-0
- Lose against Elephant 2-0
- Demon Slayer 2-0 win
- Defeat Dragon 2-0
- Lost to EHOME with a score of 1-2
As we can see, in matches against TIR-2 teams of the level MagMa feel great. But the truth is, fights with giants are still very difficult for them (although positive dynamics can be seen in the example of the match against EHOME).
Personal meeting history
Recently, the teams managed to play up a good pool of personal meetings. Over the past 5 matches, statistics have been in favor of IG 3-2.
However, MagMa managed to snatch 2 matches. In the last face-to-face meeting, the match ended with a score of 2-1, which once again speaks of MagMa's prospects.
Match outcome
I would really like to believe in MagMa, but I'm afraid in this case I'll bet in favor of statistics and other output parameters. Of course, the game's missing IG post-Major experience can interfere with the game, and the priority of i-League 2021 for IG is questionable.
Taking into account the above, I am ready to believe in one card from MagMa and that is a big risk. Still, MagMa's statistics in the group stage (0-5 by games) do not give much reason to rely on them in this tournament.
Outcome: victory for Invictus Gaming.
