Match Prediction: Imperial Pro Gaming - PuckChamp | Dota 2

PuckChamp Will win

PuckChamp: They just burst on their feet first at qualifications, and then in the second division they walked through almost the entire rink, having a score of 5-1, losing only to HellRaisers, who do not claim to advance to the first division. This is their last match, which does not really decide anything, but there is a small snag, but more on that below. We have known everyone from the roster for a long time, this is roughly the former Nemiga roster, where everyone is friends, and in principle there is chemistry.

Imperial Pro Gamig: Simple High MMR players, who gathered in a stack under a small organization, neither wobbly nor badly, were not relegated from the second division, but did not rise above the middle either. For them, this is also the last match in the division, which will not affect anything for them personally.

Outcome of the meeting

If this analysis had taken place a couple of days ago, then it would have sounded "the match does not solve anything, everyone does not care, purely random." However, Valve just yesterday made changes to the tie breaks, and in short, the teams need to beat each other twice to be higher in the table. This means that if PuckChamp lose, then their score becomes 5-2, the same as the Hellraisers, and we remember that they lost to them, which means that in this case they will need to play at least one bo1 in replays, and if the packs want to go from the replay to the first division, then they need to win in two bo1. It sounds like some kind of Santa Barbara, but it is. Therefore, the hard workers from PuckChamp need to make every effort to win this game and get to the top division. As for IPG, they don't need these replays, and they are unlikely to try to ruin the packs' passage.

PuckChamp vs Tequila prediction

Bookmaker companies are confident in the victory of PuckChamp, the coefficient for their victory is 1.2, quotes on Tequila - 4.22.

For PuckChamp, this is the most important match of the season, pressure can come in, but the PakChamp players should understand that only one best of 3 streak separates them from the first division of the second season.

The Imperial Pro Gaming organization decided to abandon further work with their roster, despite the fact that they retained their place in the second division. The guys will now play under the Tequila tag and they are unlikely to be sufficiently motivated now compared to PuckChamp.
