LGD Gaming vs Team Falcons Prediction: First Challenge for the Second Team

Prediction for the ESL One Kuala Lumpur match which will take place on December 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

NothingToSay was a versatile midlaner - he could do both active and farming playstyles. He was an excellent fit for xiao8 strategies on any character. In eighteen games at TI12, NothingToSay had ten characters. Can Emo do that? He actively practices matchmaking and is ranked in the top 10 in China. His character pool focuses more on his game. But Pyw will be a plus: he and Emo played at the 2021 Invictus Gaming and showed good synergy.

Shiro, y’, and niu remain in the lineup. The latter was important to LGD Gaming’s top 3 at TI12. Typically, Chinese teams slow down after the biggest tournament of the year, and their play style disappears until the following TI announcement. But DPC has been canceled, and it will not be possible to sit in their region, which means that LGD Gaming will try from the first match.

Team Falcons has been preparing for the tournament, participating in the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show, fighting for the top 3. Considering the level of their opponents, the team was initially thought to be the contender to win. However, participating in the tournament has definitely been beneficial for Malr1ne. They have played many official matches, tested different strategies and characters, and gotten a feel for each other.

Despite his lack of experience with tier-1 players, Malr1ne does not deviate from the Team Falcons style. He is aggressive enough to keep ATF’s tempo up and protect skiter from unnecessary attacks. But simultaneously, skiter is extremely passive. Even in the Pinnacle, his seven kills and ten assists don’t look real. Oliver averages less than 20,000 damage per game, and ATF and Malr1ne take all the impact. Fortunately, the Sapports are perfectly stacked: Cr1t is more active and plays roaming or stacking, while Sneyking is more farming and more attached to the line.

Team Falcon’s play style will be fully revealed in a month or two as the players get used to each other, but their play style is clear and practical. However, an easy win over the TI12 top-3 would be a leap of faith.

LGD Gaming has two substitutions, one of which is very important. The Chinese team might have been weakened and might be less dangerous in Malaysia, but Team Falcons are not ready for a big upset yet. A draw is the most reasonable result.
