The group stage of the second season of i-League 2021 was supposed to start today. However, there was a patch.
Now we are waiting for the games to start tomorrow. After all, I want to take a look at the Team Aster vs IG fight.
All this should happen on the new patch, from which the expectations are even higher. The best teams of the 1st and 2nd seasons of the DPC will still play.
We figure out what to expect from the match, and who will eventually be able to start the tournament with an important victory.
IG form
We begin the analysis of the fight with the form of the nominal favorite of the meeting. Invictus Gaming is seen as such in this match.
Again, due to the fresh patch, it is not easy to assess the level of teams at their true worth. 7.30 am notably shook up Dota and, perhaps, will not slightly change the balance of power on the professional scene.
Nevertheless, it is still working with what we have. For example, IG's latest performance
Invictus Gaming Latest Results
- Defeat Team Aster 1-0
- Victory over RNG with a score of 1-0
- Win over RNG with a score of 2-0
- Lose at Elephant 1-2
- Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
At the last OGA Dota PIT Season 5 IG showed a very good level of play. But in the first season of i-League 2021, they looked much worse, unlike Aster.
IG Heroes
IG's most played heroes are Winter Wyvern (8 games, 75% win rate), Hoodwink (6 games, 50% win rate), Storm Spirit (5 matches, 100% win rate).
The most successful heroes are Storm Spirit (100% win rate over 5 matches), Shadow Demon (100% win rate over 3 matches).
Team Aster Form
Team Aster will oppose IG in their debut match. In this match, the bookmaker sees them as catching up.
Again, in the modern Chinese Dota 2 scene, statuses are not that important. Especially when teams like Team Aster and Invictus Gaming are playing.
We remember very well the first season of i-League 2021, when Aster took everyone to the playoffs. But we also remember the last OGA Dota PIT, where Aster was much more scattered.

The latest statistics best of all characterize the state of the teams at the TIR-S level in China now. Chaos, and nothing more.

Personal meeting history
During the 2021 season, Aster and IG held more than one official meeting. In 5 games ahead with a minimum lead IG: 3-2.
The outcome of the fight
To be honest, the result of this match is very difficult to predict. Add a new patch here and the task becomes much more difficult.
Nevertheless, a choice must be made. And I will do it in favor of IG.
Bottom line: IG win.
