PSG.LGD vs BetBoom Team Prediction: Russian team has little chance

The International 11 will take place in Singapore from October 15-30. At the biggest eSports tournament of the year, twenty teams will battle for the right to raise Aegis over their heads. The teams have been going all year long for this event, participating in regional DPC leagues and majors, so only the strongest representatives from their respective locations are coming to Singapore. But only five players will make their dream come true and write their names in the history of The International tournaments.

On October 18, PSG.LGD and BetBoom Team will play their opening game at The International 11. We'll soon find out which team will be the stronger.

PSG.LGD managed to pull themselves together after a poor start. The difference between the first and second game day is huge. After the initial setbacks, the Chinese team picked up three wins, outclassing the Group A leaders. OG guys destroyed them, allowing only 12 kills in two maps. It is obvious that PSG.LGD is still the main favorite of The International 11 and can beat any team in the world if they want to. In their match against Team Liquid, the Chinese showed wonders of a comeback. PSG.LGD conceded on both maps but visually turned the games over very easily. There were no problems with RNG either. Yes, the opponent failed to play the second map, and the Parisians got easy points, but PSG.LGD won the first map in 27 minutes. The main TI favorite has added up and is ready to move to the group's top. It is doubtful that BetBoom Team will be able to counter anything.

BetBoom Team managed to qualify for The International 11 directly. The team finished first in regional qualification, confidently beating Virtus.pro in the final. At the tournament itself, however, there is little to go on. The Russian team has scored only two points in six matches and is currently in last place in Group A. In the opening meetings, it was strange to see the choice of heroes for Daxak. Some Batrider, some Beastmaster. What kind of plan is that? And not once did it work. It was always a complete failure. It's the guys' fault they didn't score at the start of the tournament. Now it won't be easy to get out of the hole. In the match against PSG.LGD, the Russian team can't be trusted at all. Poor draft picks and poor play against the main favorite of the tournament, who has gained excellent form and is ready to destroy.

PSG.LGD should have no problem picking up the win for themselves. The level of the teams is too different, and it can be seen that the Chinese team has gained form—the odds on PSG.LGD to win with a handicap (-24.5) are 1.69, which doesn't look too bad.
