Zero Tenacity vs L1GA TEAM

48%ELO Win Probability52%
Prediction✓ Correct
L1GA TEAM

L1GA TEAM

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.

Nigma Galaxy vs REKONIX

Nigma Galaxy

Nigma Galaxy

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!

South America Rejects

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.

Nemiga Gaming vs 1w Team

61%ELO Win Probability39%
Prediction✓ Correct
1w Team

1w Team

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.
