Match Prediction: Aurora - PSG Quest | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

DreamLeague Season 23 is gaining momentum with the group stage of the championship. While we're watching what's going on in Group A, where 6 teams are trying to earn enough points to advance to the play-offs.

Among them are Aurora and PSG Quest. Both teams are from the "mid-table", so they have no privileges to throw points left and right.

We are trying to find out if there will be a winner in this Bo2 match and if someone will be able to improve their position in the standings.

Let's go.

Form Aurora

We open the match analysis with an analysis of Aurora's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at 1.8.

The team has made it to the top 1 of the region, and also reached the heights at Lima Major 2023: in the first round of SEA the team took the 3rd place, at The Lima Major 2023 similar top 3, and in the next round they won the home league.

However, it was the chaos that started next. The first signs of Aurora's fickleness were at DreamLeague S19, when after a solid The Lima Major 2023, the team finished top-12 at a major international event.

At the next Major, The Bali Major 2023, Aurora finished in the top 8, followed by a very mediocre performance at DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division 1, finishing in 4th place in their home league.

The last tournament before the Riyadh Masters 2023 was DreamLeague Season 20. There the team finished in the top 4.

• Aurora roster: 23savage, lorenof, Jabz, Q, Oli.

At the Riyadh Masters 2023 Aurora got straight into the group stage, and all thanks to ESL rankings. They did well in the group stage, finishing in the top 4 and advancing to the top play-offs.

In the first match Aurora played against Quest Esports. In a very difficult match, being an outsider on paper, Aurora managed to win with a score of 2-1.

In the second round of the top set, Aurora played the same game against Liquid when Zai ate them ancient during a seemingly victorious trip to Liquid's base. However, Aurora didn't get confused at all and in the bottom set first defeated 9 Pandas and then defeated Gaimin Gladiators, the storm of international dota.

In the match for the exit to the grand final Aurora again ran into Liquid and again lost. Thus - top 3 at the Riyadh Masters to add to Aurora's prizes for the year.

Before the Long Convergence The International 2023 they visited DreamLeague Season 21, where for some reason they decided to play at half strength. Otherwise I can't explain the failure of the team from the top 3 of Riyadh Masters to get out of the group.

However, apparently the result of DreamLeague S21 was not a coincidence. Aurora played disgustingly on the first day, losing to Tundra and TSM without much chance. Then they managed to comeback, winning their two remaining matches against Keyd Stars and PSG Quest.

In the play-offs seeding match, they faced none other than Gaimin Gladiators. After losing the first map, they cameback on the second and third maps, thus sending the main contender for the Aegis of Champions to the lower grid. However, it did not help them to rise above the TOP-12, but GG reached the Grand Final.

Already at the new club, the players finished top-4 at the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 qualifiers, qualified for DL Season 22, took top-8 at the Birmingham qualifiers and top-12 at the country house.

Aurora were later featured at DreamLeague Season 22, where they took Top 8. After that, they qualified for DL Season 23 and placed Top 10 at the Elite League.

The last tournament before the DreamLeague Season 23 was PGL Wallachia Season 1. There the club from SEA reached the TOP-8. At DreamLeague Season 23, Aurora Long Sogpeg came away with two draws.

PSG Quest Form

We continue our match analysis with an analysis of PSG Quest's match form. They play second in this match with odds to win in the region of 2.

Quest Esports have been one of the major revelations of the season. They started their climb to the top with a top-5 finish at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour 2. The team fell one map short of reaching the Berlin Major 2023, but not enough.

In the third round of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 the team again showed a top game and that time they had enough. It was enough for the top 3 of the tournament, and as a result, they made it to The Bali Major 2023.

• Quest Esports roster: TA2000, No!ob, Tobi, OmaR, kaori.

During the Bali Major 2023 Quest Esports showed from the very beginning of the tournament that they did not come there to rest. The team finished top-1 in their group and then went to play in the top set of play-offs. In the end, Quest's jaunt through The Bali Major 2023 ended with them in 4th place.

Having travelled to the Riyadh Masters 2023 with a replacement in the lineup, Quest Esports did not lose their overall team score. In their Play-In group the team took a confident first place, losing only 1 match out of 5.

The group stage of the Saudi tournament also proved to be no match for Quest. Residents of Western Europe confidently took the top 1 in Group A, thereby guaranteeing themselves passage to the top grid play-offs. But the main stage did not start the way the European club would have liked. In a tense game against Talon TA2000 and Ledge were defeated 1-2.

In the first round of the lower grid, Quest played against PSG.LGD. They did not feel the Chinese - they won 2-0.

And then Quest Esports met with Gaimin Gladiators. The three-time Major champions defeated Quest on class with the score 2-0.

After Riyadh Masters 2023 Quest Esports played at the qualifiers for The International 2023. They managed to finish in the top 2, which allowed them to qualify for the main tournament of the year.

PSG Quest played at The International 2023, where they performed "so-so". PSG Quest finished in the top 12 at the main tournament of the year.

In 2024, PSG Quest tried desperately to beat Falcons at all sorts of qualifiers, but failed to do so: they finished in the top 2 at Dacha Dubai, DL Season 22 and ESL One Birmingham 2024. There was also an attempt to qualify for PGL Wallachia Season 1, but they were already Top 6, as they tried to go through Western Europe.

Before playing on DL Season 23, they played on Elite League, where they took TOP-6. PSG Quest lost everything they could on the first day of DreamLeague Season 23, ending it with a score of 0-4.

Quest Esports' most popular characters

Among the most popular Quest characters are Shadow Demon (14 matches, 71% wins), Snapfire (14 matches, 64% wins), Techies (12 matches, 83% wins).

Also playing with Undying (9 games, 77% wins), Templar Assassin (8 matches, 50% wins).

There is also Silencer (7 games, 100% wins), Medusa (7 games, 100% wins), Doom (7 matches, 85% wins), Enchantress (7 matches, 71% wins).

Previously the teams have not played each other in official matches.

Predicted result of Aurora vs PSG Quest at DreamLeague Season 23

After PSG Quest's debut at DreamLeague Season 23, you have to wonder what they were doing all those months before DreamLeague Season 23. They played really lousy, but it's still the first day of games and bo2 matches, and so I wouldn't be in a hurry to write them off. I'll take the risk of believing in PSG Quest's ability to compete and take +1.5 on them.

Bottom line: +1.5 on PSG Quest.
