Match Prediction: Team Secret - Alliance | Dota 2
As part of the regular league of the second DPC season, Alliance will play against Secret. The match promises to be very hot.
If anyone could have thought that after 3 rounds Alliance would go through the season without defeat, and Secret would lose cards to Tundra and Hellbear Smashers, then just not me. But this is our Dota this season.
And this is only better. I was really sick of Secret last year and the season, and it would be time to sweat a little to get into the Major.
Fortunately, Alliance can help.
Alliance Form
We begin the analysis of the match, with the leaders of the current season. Oddly enough, this is our Alliance.
A serious slap in the face, or rather even a blow, shattered Alliance in the Major, but they were able to withstand. Now we see the result.
I am sure that after Singapore the team had a serious debriefing and analysis of errors in the tournament, of which there were a lot. Now, Alliance inspires confidence and power again.
Alliance last 5 matches
- 0-2 defeat against PSG.LGD
- Draw in the match with Team Liquid 1-1
- Defeat Team Liquid 2-1
- Defeat OG 2-1
- Defeat Nigma 2-1
Returning to the European region and already in the familiar environment of the online format, Alliance were inspired and are now replaying the TOPs in the region. Is it true if they can pull it off one more time in the match against Secret.
Secret form
Let's move on to, perhaps, the most interesting. Secret in the new season are not very similar to themselves.
If in the case of Alliance, the performance in the Major forced them to reconsider their game and intra-team aspects, but this cannot be said about Secret. The fourth place is quite an acceptable result, which can blur your eyes and turn away from problems.
And as we see, these problems for Secret have ripened suddenly. They showed up in an unprincipled defeat against Nigma and lost cards in matches against Hellbear Smashers and Tundra.
Team Secret's last 5 matches
- Win against OB Esports x Neon 2-0
- Lost to IG 0-2
- Lose to Nigma 0-2
- Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-1
- Beat Tundra Esports 2-1
Perhaps Secret was influenced by a new patch, and the first games in the second season are experiments from Puppey, but it's clearly not worth flirting with. Competition within Europe is still fierce, and defeat in any match can throw you out of the race for the second major.
Personal meeting history
The clubs managed to play a solid list of official meetings, but we will only be interested in the last 5 matches. In them, Secret demonstrated absolute superiority, losing only 2 cards.
Match outcome
Alliance matches this season are an extravaganza of Dota and entertainment. Add to this the incomprehensible Secret form, and we get a recipe for a very difficult predictable match.
Nevertheless, as for me, Secret should take the victory. The indistinct start to the season should have motivated them to regain the excitement of the competition.
Outcome: Secret victory.
Team Secret: Toli their level of play has dropped, or the level of DotA in the European region has gone up a lot, because the card given to the Smesomers, tundra, and pockets of nigma still mean something. Someone says that Pupey always plays like an integer, only I think the reason for their decline is the peaks, it seems to me that Pupi has not yet fully joined the meta, or simply does not want to join, because he always has his own.
Alliance: Something after the Major seemed to be changed, or was it the patch that influenced them so much? Surprisingly, after the failure, they did not change the lineup, but continued to play like this, and it would seem that the S4 anchor is now playing normally, it seems that the matter is in the patch. And now they are already the leaders of the group, have a 3-0 score in the group.
The outcome of the meeting
In fact, this is a meeting of the two leaders of the group, and if the alliance wins, then they definitely go to the major. At this time, most bookmakers unanimously see Team Secret as the favorite of the game with an average odds of 1.5. The odds of winning Omega Esports are estimated by the bookmakers with an average odds of 2.4.
Honestly, it can be seen that with each series the team secret's pick is better with each series, the performance was always good. And to be honest, logic for the secret, the soul for the alliance. A bet on the odds on the alliance and the victory of Team Secret.
Team Secret wins, card handicap +1.5 Alliance
Team Secret has lost the thread of the game and now you can see how difficult it is for them to play their Dota. Perhaps the global update has affected, or maybe it's just a decline in the team. I personally don’t recognize Team Secret now, this team of course still has authority, but the performance on the map leaves much to be desired. In today's match it will be very difficult for them to play with Alliance, Alliance are now showing good Dota and the Swedes are unlikely to lose in today's match. Just remember how Alliance played their previous matches, everything is harmonious and tasteful, they make almost no mistakes and, as a result, three wins in three matches. I believe that they have the motivation for this match, they are tuned in as much as possible and always like to take the map and the meeting from Secret! We can risk betting on Alliance and, as always, do not forget about live bets.
I recommend betting on Alliance in this match.
