Maç Tahmini: PuckChamp - X3 | Dota 2

Prediction for the match between PuckChamp and X3 in the lower bracket for elimination from the qualifiers at The International 2022. PuckChamp lost yesterday as expected to Mind Games, they couldn't even catch 1 map, but X3 quite sensationally kicked Team Unique out of the qualifiers, the prematch coefficient was 3 on them in BO1 against dream.

There is not much to say about X3, since they played only 1 map, nothing about PuckChamp either, only Crystallize in a very dubious form, like their trio - Malik, is consistently bad.

X3 is even a favorite for me in this match, it seems that PuckChamp's only hope is for young G and a good game for him.

X3 Heroes Used in These International 2022 Qualifiers

• Nesfeer: Templar Assassin
• nattynarwhal_: Pangolier
• Shergarat (Vladimir): Enigma
• nrink: Marci
• smN: Disruptor

Used PuckChamp heroes in these The International 2022 qualifiers

• Crystallize: Weaver/Bloodseeker
  
• young G: Lina/Invoker
• Malik: Mars/Lycan
• Astral: Wintern Wyvern
• lil me alone: Nyx Assassin/Undying

Due to tags, names and underestimation of X3, the favorites should be PuckChamp, but I would even lean more towards the success of X3, Shergarat is amazingly worth his lane, while Crystallize + lil me alone often slosh it.

A good matchup for all 3 maps, but X3 can create a fairy tale and continue their march through these qualifiers, the chances are amazing.

• Win X3 - odds 2.19
• PuckChamp win - odds 1.71
• Over 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.96
• TM 2.5 on cards - odds 1.79

I'm definitely for X3, they should easily cover PuckChamp and move on through the qualifiers.

Prediction: X3 wins PuckChamp - odds 2.19
