Maç Tahmini: Team Knights - Entity | Dota 2

After the matches of group A, we are transferred to group B. They will open the last stream of matches of the first game day.

One of the fights will be a confrontation between Knights and Entity. The confrontation between Western Europe and China is always interesting and this duel should not be an exception.

Entity took the last place at Lima Major 2023 from Western Europe. The team played the season with a score of 4-3.

The Knights played better at home. The team took 3rd place, going through Lima Major 2023 quite calmly.

We figure out whether one of the teams will be able to earn points in this match, or we will see a draw.

Form Entity

We begin the review of the match by parsing the Entity form. Representatives of Western Europe will perform here in the status of a favorite.

Looking ahead, it is worth noting that the gap between the teams is not big. The odds for Entity to win are around 2.6.

For bo2 confrontation, this is not a sentence. The rivals of Entity, according to the bookmakers, have not a ghostly chance to prove themselves, and this is a fact.

Entity Composition

Entity's problems started after the transfer period. The team had to replace the carry player and this affected the overall performance of the club.

Entity Players

• watson
• Stormstormer
• Toby
• Kataomi`
• Fishman

The central person for discussion remains Watson. The player joined Entity at the start of the season and problems started almost immediately. In the course of the season, they turned into tiebreaks, but still the Entity managed to get away with it.

Entity Performance

Entity took 4th place at DPC 2023 from Western Europe. The team played in replays for 3 teams and ended up second there.

In addition to matches at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division, Entity played at third-party events. These were tournaments from BB.

Entity played at the Xmas Show even before the start of the DPC and failed there. In the new composition, they took TOP-6.

Before going to Peru, Entity played BB Universe: Episode 1 - Comics Zone. There, the team took the TOP-4, losing to the finalists of Team Spirit.

Before the Knights match, Entity will play against Geek Slate. In that fight, there are chances to start the Major with a victory, but we are not in a hurry to write off GS.

Entity Heroes

In the new season, Entity ran into Treant Protector, which appeared in 8 matches and has a 62% win rate. Along with Treant, they play Rubick, who also appeared 8 times and has a similar win rate.

Undying feels a little worse with a 50% win rate in the same 8 matches. Almost the only team that performs Invoker. Stormstormer rolled out his signature 6 times and won 4.

Knights form

We continue the review of the match with the most controversial team of the tournament. Team Knights will play the role of chasing in this match.

The chance of Knights winning is estimated by the odds around 4. You can agree, given the background of the “knights”.

In case you suddenly forgot, it was the Knights that became the center of perhaps the biggest scandal of the season. The team was accused of using cheats as part of DPC 2023: China - Upper Division and even started an investigation, but the matter did not go far and the Knights will play at Lima Major 2023.

Knights line-up

Claims towards the Knights, which turned out to be untrue, otherwise they were admitted to the Major, look strange, because quite famous players play in the team. There are legends about Chinese dota and the possibility of cheating is allowed, but it seems in the case of Knights it was a coincidence.

Players

• eGo
• AlaCrity-
• flyby
• Felixciaoba
• XCJ

The names are familiar, though not grandees, but still. In general, there is definitely potential and it will be interesting to watch them at a major international event.

Knights performance

The Knights finished 3rd in China's top division. To do this, they needed to win 5 matches out of 8.

In addition, the “knights” played third-party events of dubious quality. Before the start of the DPC, it was the Star Series, where they took the TOP-3, and after the top division they were disqualified from the Lunar New Year 2023. In general, very strange.

Heroes Knights

In this patch, the team played as Tiny (16 matches, 68% win rate), Treant Protector (8 matches, 87% win rate), Drow RANger (8 matches, 62% win rate), Snapfire (7 matches, 71% win rate), Lich (7 matches, 71% wins), Shadow Fiend (7 matches, 71% wins).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams did not intersect with each other. The duel within Lima Major 2023 will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.

The outcome of the fight

Very difficult teams will meet in this match. Difficult in terms of pre-match introductory.

Entity has problems with Watson, who is unclear how he got to Lima and will not be in the best condition. The Knights have allegations of dishonest play behind their backs, as well as disqualification from the local muddy tournament.

It's hard to choose a winner, and I don't think there will be one. I see a draw here.

Outcome: draw.
