Match Prediction: LGD Gaming - Elephant.4AM | Dota 2

We continue to watch i-League 2021. Next up is the second match of the 3 weeks of the group stage, in which PSG.LGD will play against Elephant.

The fight promises to be hot, at least because PSG.LGD didn't really play after the Singapore Major. But Elephant has already started and did it quite cheerfully.

Elephant shape

Let's start with our favorite Elephant. Countless times I've typed the Elephant text and here they are again.

In principle, everything I wanted to say has already been said. Laudatory odes of rOtK praise, reproaches shouted at superstars, the scrupulous situation in 2021 was sucked and more than once.

I managed to believe in Elephant, then disbelieve and believe again. Perhaps the right decision would be to look at the latest bishop results.

Elephant's last 5 matches

• Win against Team MagMa 2-0
• Lose against RNG with a score of 0-2
• Defeat MagMa 2-0
• Defeat EHOME 2-0
• Defeat Sparking Arrow Gaming 2-0

The latest statistics suggest that Elephant's game has improved in the new season, but there is one "but". Among the list of teams, with which Elephant played recently, there is not one of the TOP-4 of the last season.

And that's the problem. Perhaps it just seems to me that the “elephants” play has improved, since, objectively speaking, they have not yet had serious competition.

And this can be made up by PSG.LGD

PSG.LGD Form

Could or could? We are trying to figure it out.

What we have with PSG.LGD: a vague start in the DPC, some pass to the Major with replays against Elephant, an extremely confident Wild Card and the group stage, and finally the 3rd place in the Major itself. Looks pretty confident.

Results of the last 5 matches PSG.LGD

• 0-2 defeat against Thunder Predator
• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2-0
• Defeat Team Secret 2-1
• Lost to EG with a score of 1-2
• Lost to Invictus Gaming with a score of 1-2

The Major ended on April 4 and since that time PSG.LGD hasn't had any practice. Considering how PSG.LGD played at the beginning of last season, there are concerns about their condition for the first match of i-League 2021.

Personal meeting history

Elephant and PSG.LGD managed to play a pretty good pull between themselves. Over the last 5 games, the statistics are 3-2 in favor of PSG.LGD.

Match outcome

Before writing a review, I thought to unconditionally bet on PSG.LGD. But, considering all the pros and cons, I still decided to believe in elephants.

It seems to me that PSG.LGD doesn’t have a particular desire to give all its best at the i-League. Add that this will be their first game on the new patch and we get a not very pleasant situation for the "Parisians".

Outcome: victory for Elephant.
