Maç Tahmini: Team Secret - PuckChamp | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld, where we analyse matches of varying calibre and quality. We will now take a look at the Western Europe Second Division with a betting tournament between Team Secret and Puck on April 14 at 21:00 CET.

We're keeping a close eye on Secret's progress in the second division. PuckChamp are also an interesting side at The International, because they have a very fit squad and not so long ago they were implicated in the story of NaVi buying a slot in another league.

Having analyzed the state of the tournament and studied the teams' performance throughout the season, we're ready to tell you what to expect from the match and who will improve their standings at the end of it. Here we go.

Team Secret is the odd man out at the feast of life on DPC 2023: WEU Lower Division Tour II.

Let's start the review of the match Secret vs PuckChamp with an analysis of the game form of the former. The Puppey team will play this match as favourites.

The advantage of Puppey and co confirm the bookmakers with their estimation. In their opinion, the odds on a Secret win are around 1.2.

Such a figure is quite logical and not surprising. Only in terms of status, Secret are far ahead of their future teammates, but there's also the team's output and roster.

With the "output" point, Secret's record is fairly unstable. Remembering the last season in Western Europe, one wonders whether the opposition are that good to easily qualify for the second division.

So far, there is a feeling that they are. The team have won two games out of two without losing a game, but you can't say it was easy.

In the game against those Into The Breach Secret had great difficulties on the second map, and before that they won the hardest map against Alliance. We should not be surprised by such efforts, because before the Long Songpeg of the second division, the team seriously changed the squad, losing two players.

The departure of Reso and Zayac has affected the team, but without them they still look like a team. But after the departure of Nisha, back at the Long Song of the professional year, Secret really looked confused.

PuckChamp's form - a team on the edge of Western and Eastern Europe

We continue the breakdown of the clash with a review of PuckChamp's playing form. In this match, they will have to play the number two.

The odds for success in this match are in the range of 4. Such a figure from the bookies is due to PuckChamp's recent performance and their erratic transfers.

At DPC 2023: WEU Lower Division Tour II, PuckChamp, exactly like Secret, have played two matches. They failed to win a single game, but managed to squeeze a card from Ancient Tribe with Templar Assassin in first position.

Notably, PuckChamp found themselves in Western Europe's second division for a reason. Initially, the team made it to the top league in Eastern Europe, but sold their slot to Natus Vincere afterwards.

It is not yet clear how justified such an action is, but the fact remains. The unsuccessful debut in the second division seems to have shifted the focus and lowered the bar of the desired result: for now PuckChamp need to gain points, so that in the future they can maintain their place in the second division.

PuckChamp vs Team Secret predicted match result

In this match there is every chance to see an almost equal game, as both sides can show good Dota. If we talk about the winner, it will be Team Secret, who should return to the top division.

However, given Puppey and company's two matches, there's a feeling that there won't be an easy walk here. I'll take PuckChamp's one card taken, as it's trivially more lucrative than just taking Secret's win.

Bottom line: +1.5 on PuckChamp.
