Maç Tahmini: Evil Geniuses - Team Spirit | Dota 2
Riyadh Masters 2023 - Group StageWelcome to EGamersWorld.
The biggest event of this summer is gearing up in Riyadh. Riyadh Masters 2023 will offer participants two weeks of top dota with a prize pool of $15,000,000.
The top 20 teams from 6 regions will compete for the $4,000,000 top prize. Among them are Team Spirit and Evil Geniuses, whose match in the group stage of Riyadh Masters 2023 we will discuss.
The teams will face each other in the group stage of the championship. The format of the match is bo2.
This is definitely an important championship for the teams. Not only is the prize pool comparable, if not higher than that of The International, but both teams have not been in the spotlight and would like to get a juicy piece of cake at the end of the competitive season.
Let's find out what to expect from the match and whether either team will be able to secure a clean win for themselves
Let's go.
Team Spirit uniforms.
Let's start the match analysis by analysing Team Spirit's form. In this match, the team will have to play with the first number one.
Despite the nominal equality of the teams, the Dragons still look a little more favourable. That's because at the end of the regular DPC season, Evil Geniuses were slipping, while Spirit were stable, even though their stability didn't bring high results.
In the first round of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1, Spirit were ranked 2nd. Then the dragons were prevented from winning by BB Team, who finished the tournament in first place with a score of 7-0. After playing in their home league, Team Spirit visited The Lima Major 2023 where they finished in the top 8.
Later Spirit played the second round of the home league and again finished in the top 2. Going to The Berlin Major 2023 they expected to improve the result of the previous Major, but in the end it got worse: already TOP-12.
Despite the "sluggish" game on the international arena, Spirit still consistently come out of the groups at the Major, and at home they look like the main contender for victory in every game. This was the case in the third season of DPC 2023.
Spirit finished the Eastern Europe final cycle in first place. It took 3 attempts to earn the championship in Eastern Europe.
- Team Spirit roster: Yatoro, Larl, Collapse, Mira, Miposhka .
The last tournament before DreamLeague Season 20 for the Dragons was DreamLeague S20. There the representatives of Eastern Europe took the top 5, which is not a bad indicator, considering the above mentioned performance for the year.
Like GG, Spirit visited The Bali Major 2023, but the results are diametrically opposite. The team finished in the top 12, failing to qualify for the prizes.
Before Evil Geniuses Spirit will play against Gaimin Gladiators. There are not many chances against the best team in the world, but they are there.
The most popular Team Spirit characters
The top of the most picked Team Spirit characters is headed by Crystal Maiden. The character has appeared in the peak 6 times and has an 83% win rate.
Apart from Crystal Maiden, Disruptor and Underlord are also appreciated, having been peaked 5 times each with 80% winrate. There was also Skywrath Mage (4 matches, 100% wins), Doom (4 matches, 75% wins), PL, Viper, Slark, Riki appeared 3 times each and has 100% wins.
Evil Geniuses Form
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Evil Geniuses game form. In this match, the team is playing as a number two.
The Peruvian club has been performing well during the season, but frankly failed at the end of the season. There is a feeling that the Evil Geniuses, having qualified for The International 2023, decided to forget about the rest of the season, but I think it will be different with Riyadh Masters 2023. Still, the prize pool is very solid.
In the first round of DPC 2023 SA Division 1 Evil Geniuses took the second place. It was not enough to defeat Beastcoast. Later they visited The Lima Major 2023, where they more than made up for the loss in their home league by finishing top 6 in the Peruvian tournament.
Then play the second round of the DPC in South America and again top 2, and again Beastcoast are ahead. However, the international scene helps again, where EG are already top 4 at ESL One Berlin Major 2023, making them the highest performing team from the region in history.
In the third DPC cycle, Evil Geniuses finally clawed their way back to the top of the regional stage. Evil Geniuses won DPC 2023: SA Division 1.
- Evil Geniuses roster: Pakazs, Chris Luck, Wisper, Matthew, Pandaboo.
At DreamLeague Season 20, Evil Geniuses played very erratically. And to such an extent that in the first stage of the group stage they got to the replay, where they were stronger than Team Secret and Tundra Esports. In the end, all of this led to a top-6 finish at the end of the tournament.
Prior to the Long Convergence Riyadh Masters 2023 EG attended the Bali Major 2023. At the final Major event of the year, Evil Geniuses tried on the role of whipping boys. The Peruvians lost to all and sundry and it eventually spilled over into the top 18.
Most Popular Evil Geniuse Heroes
Beastmaster and Death Prophet were the most popular heroes of Evil Geniuses. Both heroes were taken 8 times each and had 75% wins.
Following DP and Primal Beast was Leshrac, and he was most often played in the third position. He appeared 6 times and had a 66% winrate.
In addition, Marci (5 matches, 60% wins), Templar Assassin (4 matches, 100% wins), Jakiro (4 matches, 100% lunch) were picks.
History of head-to-head meetings
The teams have met three times in the 2023 season. Spirit won twice, and 1 more match ended in a draw.
Match outcome
In this match I expect a roughly even game. Both teams in the 2023 season have shown frankly not their best game and are performing erratically. This is the best environment to bet on a draw. That's what I'll do.
Bottom line: a draw.
Team Spirit is the 11th team in the world ranking. At the first DPC of their region, they are ranked 2nd, passing BetBoom in front of them. At the second DPC a similar situation happens, but this time they pass HellRaisers(9 Pandas). Lima Major was pretty good, although they could have gone higher. They finished in 7th-8th place. DreamLeague finishes rather sadly. 9th-10th place in the table. Berlin Major is going through a similar trend. They take 9th-12th place. DPC have a phenomenal 3rd round, finishing with the statistics 7-0. DreamLeague S20 is also becoming successful for the team. They finished the tournament on a confident 5th place. Bali Major was not so pleasant, they ended up in 9th-12th place.
Evil Geniuses is the 15th team of the world ranking. All three rounds of DPC managed to finish only on the 2nd place, as they couldn't beat beastcoast, but the team is obviously stronger than bc, considering the results of the last majors. EG managed to take 5th-6th position at Lima Major, although if they hadn't made any stupid mistakes, they could have gone even higher. Nevertheless, it's still a decent result. Dreamleague Season 19 was a bit worse, finishing in 7th place. At Berlin Major they managed to climb to the 4th place, which is a very strong achievement. DreamLeague Season 20 improved by one position compared to the previous season. They took 6th place. By the Bali Major they seemed to be out of shape and took the last place in the tournament.
I consider this match as one of the most unpredictable, but according to statistics, most often such matches are played without determining the winner. So it's a draw.
I'm a prognosticator, I live only for this. I devote all my time to it. I have no other interests.
I have been doing my activity for quite a long time and have achieved some success in it. It's up to everyone to believe me or not. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
