October 7 marks the start of The International 10, the tournament that the entire eSports community has been waiting for two years. Of course, this celebration is somewhat overshadowed by the fact that the competition will take place without spectators, whose presence was banned at the very last moment. Nevertheless, the highest level of Dota will flood us very soon, and we will only have to enjoy the long-awaited The International.
Team Secret and Quincy Crew will play their next match on October 9 in the group stage of The International 10. We’ll find out if the Americans can beat the unstable Secret very soon.
Team Secret: They are unstable
Team Secret have not played an official match before The International 10 for a very long time. For almost three months, the team was resting, gaining strength, and preparing for the year’s main tournament. However, at The International itself, the team has had mixed success so far. If in the match against Team Spirit or the PSG.LGD team looked very cool, then in games against teams from South America, the Secret experienced some problems and lost beastcoast, which may complicate the fight for the top draw. Especially if Elephant get hyped up as the group stage progresses, but it’s not the first time teams from South America have upset Team Secret, and with the other teams, we can expect Puppey and Ko to play more confidently. Especially now, they will be facing Quincy Crew, who are in last place in Group B.
Quincy Crew: So far, they are the latest
Quincy Crew are still last in their group at The International 10. The team has only played three matches and managed to earn one point against beastcoast. In the remaining matches, the team met with Chinese teams and failed to take points from them. But at the same ESL One Summer, Quincy Crew managed to take 5-6th place, which looks like a good result. In the only match the team won, they defeated Medusa, and YawaR confidently gave his team their first points of the tournament. He finished with a 17-0-8 record in that match. The Quincy Crew, despite their poor results at The International 10, do not look like a team that will give all the maps to their opponents without a fight. Given that Team Secret have made mistakes at the tournament and don’t look as confident as you’d expect from them, it’s likely that the Quincy Crew will pick up another point for themselves.
Expert Betting Tips
Team Secret don’t yet give the impression of a team that acts without mistakes in the tournament. It allows its opponents to act, and this could provide Quincy Crew with a chance for points. It’s doubtful that the American team can beat Team Secret, but a draw could easily do the trick.
The bookmakers are offering odds of 2.51 for a draw, which doesn’t look too bad.
