Match Prediction: Team Secret - Entity | Dota 2
The International 2022: Western Europe QualifierTeam Secret is the 2nd team in the European ranking. We last saw the team at ESL One Malaysia 2022 with a very good result. The group stage was pretty easy for the team. They didn't have a single defeat. We played three times in a draw (against Talon Esports, Team Aster and Entity Gaming) and won twice (against Alliance and ThunderAwaken). We reached the upper bracket of the playoffs and defeated OG 2:1 in the 1st match. In the next match, the invincible Team Aster were waiting for them, to whom they lose 1:2. Then they go down to the lower bracket, where they again meet OG, who can no longer be beaten. They lose to them 0:2 and take the well-deserved 3rd place. In the qualifiers for The International, they start by defeating Into The Breach 2:1. Not to say that the victory is the easiest, but still a victory. Qualifications will continue in the upper bracket.
Entity Gaming is the 4th team in the European ranking. At the last major tournaments, they showed quite decent results. At ESL One Malaysia 2022, they had a good group stage, but only one point was missing to reach the upper bracket of the playoffs. At the bottom, they managed to defeat TSM.FTX 2:0, but then they couldn't cope with Fnatic 1:2. Finished in 5th - 6th place. A similar situation happened at PGL Arlington Major 2022, but the group stage went much better there. The playoff stage started from the upper bracket, but in the first match they lost to OG 1:2 and fell to the lower bracket. They defeated Evil Geniuses 2:1 and BOOM Esports 2:1, but failed to beat Team Aster 1:2 and finished the tournament also in 5th - 6th place. In the first match of qualifications, Alliance won 2:0, but the battle turned out to be quite stubborn. They also continue their movement along the upper grid.
Even though I love Secret and respect them as a team, I see ETG as the winner in this series. Too often Crystallis makes mistakes, too often Resolution falls short. The only one who shows a consistently positive performance is Nisha. But I doubt that it will be enough against ETG. Even if we compare teams by solo ranking, every position of Secret is inferior to every position of Entity. And Pure mega is good.
I am a gambling gambler, I live only by this. I devote all my time to this. There are no more interests.

Prediction for a duel involving Team Secret and Entity as part of the qualifiers for The International 11, the winner will make his life easier in the qualifiers, as he is guaranteed to get to TI11, the Last Chance stage.
Let me remind you that Entity was the team that did not let Team Secret go to the Major in Arlington, Fishman & co won 2:1 in replays, but, remembering that game, a lot depended on the terrible performance of iceiceice, and there was also a moment in the mid, where Necrophos after a buyback a fraction of the chance, he found Terrorblade and managed to ult, that game was exactly at the dictation of Team Secret.
Overall, Nisha is definitely stronger than Stormstormer in his current state; pure is more stable than Crystallis, but Tobi is greedier than Resolut1on, but Roma looks more team and synergistic with Zayac.

3 times the teams played each other in 2022, Entity won 2 times with a score of 2:1, the last match was on August 24 and ended in a 1:1 draw. In the current lineups there was only 1 game and it ended 1:1.
I think you shouldn't give pure to Pudge and already think something against Alchemist in advance, and definitely don't forget about Enigma. Puppey should finally realize who "Secret" is the real carry and therefore it is Nisha who should take heroes who can close the map in solo, not Kunkka/Timbersaw, but some Lina/Puck/Ember Spirit.
I would rather believe in Secret, but Fishman perfectly knows the weaknesses of Crystallis and therefore there is this factor that Entity is comfortable playing specifically against Crystallis. This is a logical bet on 3 maps, however, I think that Team Secret is able to close for 2 maps if they play Nisha and take him normal heroes who will close the map alone. It will be interesting and very interesting to look at the draft teams. There is a battle for Faceless Void, for Pudge, for Monkey King, for Enigma and so on.
