Match Prediction: PuckChamp - Team Empire | Dota 2

PuckChamp will face Team Empire in the lower bracket of the Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 3. PC lost yesterday to V-Gaming, and Imperia barely beat Nemiga Gaming.

The depressed kid returned to Team Empire for the match with Spider Pigzs, but the next day, Lorenof was playing again. Apparently there is still some kind of burnout.

PuckChamp started the playoffs with a 2: 0 win over Team Unique, but then turned out to be weaker than V-Gaming with a 1: 2 score.

I wonder who will play in Team Empire today: Lorenof or depressed kid, I tend to prefer the first option. In general, the “Imperials” play well, they manage to win, but in 4 out of 5 matches, they lose cards and this raises concerns.

On the other hand, PuckChamp, remember that they play without the main mid lane Desperate-, instead of him is young G. Objectively, the PCs beat not very strong teams: it is unlikely that success with the current Team Unique, Fantastic Five, and even more so qwerty, can be regarded as something serious.

The teams played among themselves in the group stage, then Team Empire confidently defeated PuckChamp with a score of 2: 0, but the match was still in mid-August.

I have no doubt that Team Empire will win, but it seems that the teams will hit 2.5 TB in maps. Bookmakers give 2.27 odds on PuckChamp, on Team Empire - 1.6.

Prediction: Team Empire will easily beat PuckChamp in the lower bracket of Dota 2 Champions League Season 3 - coefficient 1.6
