Xtreme Gaming vs Knights Prediction: Will Knights Surprise Everyone Again?

Prediction for the Dota DPC CN 2023 Tour 1: Division I match, which will take place on January 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Xtreme Gaming had a shaky start to the new season, getting two weak victories over EHOME (2-0) and Aster.Aries (2-1) and losing to the main rival for the championship in the Chinese region - Team Aster. In this match, they will play against the main dark horse or simply cheaters, which the organizers of the DPC league members of the Knights team suspected. In any situation, the match for Xtreme Gaming can be challenging.

 We should not talk about failure so far, but the match with Knights will be crucial because we are approaching the equator of the Chinese first round.

Compared to last season, their roster has been updated in two positions: carry and offlane. The young lou left the team (went on a downgrade), and the Malaysian Ghost, who played for RNG last season, was taken in his place. Is it reinforcement? It is unlikely because these carry players are equal to me, and both can throw the game at any time, so Xtreme Gaming continues to play without a top first position. The second newcomer was another Malaysian JT-the offlaner had served faithfully in Invictus Gaming for three years before, and he replaced old eLeVeN, which can be considered an enhancement.

Against the background of global Chinese reshuffles, Xtreme Gaming has yet to have the biggest reshuffle in the roster, so this team will continue to be the favorite of the Chinese DPC league in 2023. 

Knights are the main headliner of the second game week in the Chinese region. First, a debutant beats PSG.LGD without a chance for the opponent. Then the entire Knights roster is accused of cheating, with evidence being gathered. As the detailed analysis of the game with PSG.LGD (2-0) showed the Knights worked with their opponent's vision very well and seemed to know precisely where the LGD wards were standing and made 80% of the ops, which was twice as much as the results of all the teams that played at TI11. Suspicious, isn't it? But as long as the team hasn't been eliminated from the championship, we can't say their results aren't deserved.

And there is a lot to praise the Knights for! In addition to the aforementioned landslide victory over PSG.LGD, there was also a win over Invictus Gaming (2-0) and an extremely good, but still lost a bout with Team Aster (1-2). Even if the Knights players used banned boosts, now the guys understand that they will be observed under a microscope, and cheating in the game against Xtreme Gaming is equal to dropping out of the tournament and being banned by Valve for many years.

The new Chinese team took the slot of the departed (we hope temporarily) from Royal Never Give Up which failed last season, although the bets on them were huge.

The roster is different from past RNG consisting of Chinese-Asian downed pilots. Not a single big name and experienced player in Knights, so it is unlikely that this team will succeed. 

Xtreme Gaming and Knights should enjoy a semi-random game with lots of kills.
