Match Prediction: PuckChamp - Mind Games | Dota 2

Forecast for the fight between PuckChamp and Mind Games as part of The International 2022 qualifiers. Both teams changed their roster, the PuckChamp backbone believed in the old guys: Crystallize and Lil, while kicking Dukalis and krylat, tried to play with RodjER, but then surprised again with the pick of Lil and the return to carry Crystallize.

Mind Games also changed the roster, found their problem in the offlaner, now bb3px instead of Petushara, and this is an unreal buff for MG.

At the end of April, the teams played each other, it was the only match between these teams, Mind Games beat PuckChamp with a score of 2:1.

PuckChamp has not yet played in the current patch, as well as with the same roster. Mind Games with the updated roster failed to pass two open qualifiers for ESL One Malaysia 2022, in the first - 5-8th place; on the second - 9-16 place.

PuckChamp took 4th place in the second division of the DPC; Mind Games were in 6th place in the first division.

In general, a good match for 3 maps in such a duel, since we have not yet seen a new patch and a bunch of imba. I would have believed more in the victory of Mind Games, but it should not seem easy for them.

• Mind Games win - odds 2.28
• PuckChamp win - odds 1.604
• Over 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.97
• TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.78

I expect 3 maps, but I really don’t understand why they give 2.28 at Mind Games, MG performers in all roles, probably except mid, are definitely better.

Prediction: Mind Games will win PuckChamp - odds 2.28
