My Dota 2 Predictions.

My take

Weird match, I don't really trust REKONIX yet. They need to show me some good strats, some good 5v5, until that, I believe L1GA is better than them.

✗ Aftermath

I guess I was too confident and believed in L1GA since they showed more heart in the PREMIER SERIES and even in the qualifier. But I was wrong; REKONIX rag dolled them in both maps. And again, why don't people ban this Lone Druid? It is OP!

My take

We have to go with Nigma here. They always stomp any tier 2 team. More than that, Z10 tends to go only to late game, which Nigma punishes A LOT.

✓ Aftermath

Is it only me, or does Windranger look again really strong in this patch? Imagine that Morphling with Monkey King Bar couldn't do a thing to WR. You know why? Because it's hard to catch her off guard. Anyway, congrats Nigma.

My take

We already saw this encounter in the last chance qualifiers for the DreamLeague Season 29. South America Rejects won 2:0. I doubt that Nemiga can do something to win against this mid-game aggression. Going with SAR (PlayTime) to win.

✓ Aftermath

Man, again DarkMago on Queen of Pain is punishing the other team. He did the same thing in Wallachia. If you don't ban that QOP, you'll get punished.

My take

Say what you want; I can't go against the king. SumaiL is on midlane; MOUZ is a tier 1 team. Even though Yellow Submarine won against PlayTime, aka South America Rejects, I will go with MOUZ to stomp them.

✗ Aftermath

I don't know what to say. I mean, what can the king even do? Carry Crystallis in all 3 maps? You can hate me all you want; I will die on this hill and say that they need a carry that doesn't feed left and right.

My take

I will go with L1GA here; based on the latest results, L1GA seems like it has improved a lot. Z10 is really dependent on how Dream will play on Carry. So, I will just be safe here and go with L1GA.

✓ Aftermath

I told you that L1GA is no joke. The thing is, they did the same thing in PREMIER SERIES; they are beating almost any Div 2 team, and then they are losing in a hard match against the tier 1 teams. They are almost there to fight the big dogs. I think they have a lot of potential to even break into the tier one scene.

My take

That's a good match to watch. REKONIX is also no fuss here, but man, they are playing against NIGMA (that just qualified for the DreamLeague Season 29). They didn't lose a single map, and it's hard to go against them.

✓ Aftermath

This rincyq kid is improving every single tournament. And most importantly, he has a big hero pool. Man, he played with Kunkka carry like we are in 2018 and WON. And some facts: Mind_Control is the coach for REKONIX, and Kuro is the coach for Nigma, so we have a reunion for the boys!

My take

Well, Yellow Submarine doesn't have ATF on the offlane like they did in the PREMIER SERIES. SAR, on the other hand, is just on another level right now. It's a no-brainer going with South America Rejects to win.

✗ Aftermath

Holy moly, SAR just lost to Yellow Submarine. But, in my defense, I will say that they were counter-picked with the Huskar in map 3 and also with the Windranger in map 2. I would also argue that SAR is really fatigued with this much Dota; they played 23 matches before this.

My take

The whole match is really under Squad1X's performance. It really depends on how they will draft, but in the end, 1Win is just better on paper than Nemiga Gaming here.

✓ Aftermath

1Win was clearly a better team today. But at least we saw a Necrophos carry from 1 win. And it looks like the Alchemist strategy is working really well in the lower divisions. People can't counter it because they play really slow dota.
