Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We are still in the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023: Group A, where we have prepared a betting tip for you on the PSG.LGD - Execration match in their debut clash.
We have watched the teams' home league and international games and now we are ready to analyze the teams' form and predict the potential winner of the match.
Let's begin.
Form of PSG.LGD
We'll start our review of the PSG.LGD - Execration by analysing the form of the Chinese representative. The bookmakers see the team as favourites and value their chances of winning at odds of around 2.1.
Such a figure can be explained by the overall performance of PSG.LGD, but it does not seem fair to me, about which a little later. Now, let's talk about PSG.LGD's successes.
The top Chinese club has them, albeit not as much as they once were. PSG.LGD won the first round of DPC 2023, after which they went to The Lima Major 2023.
PSG.LGD's first Major tournament was, if not bad, worse than usual. In Peru, the team finished in the Top-12. which was one of the worst results of PSG.LGD in the history of the club.
Such a result may be attributed to the roster of PSG.LGD, which has undergone considerable changes since the new competitive season.
- PSG.LGD roster: shiro, NothingToSay, zeal, planet, y`.
Notably, the team took the top-12 in the first Major tournament of the season with 项羽 playing with the team in the first round of the DPC. After the failure in Lima, it was decided to replace the performer with zeal- who had previously played for EHOME.
In the second round of DPC 2023, PSG.LGD's performance deteriorated. The team finished top-2 on DPC 2023: Tour II and was scheduled to play at DreamLeague S19, but decided to devote time to preparing for The Berlin Major 2023.
Let's see how productive the preparations have been, given the new patch coming out.
PSG.LGD's most popular heroes
Among the most popular heroes Disruptor (7 matches, 57% wins), Primal Beast (5 matches, 80% wins), Mirana and Beastmaster appeared 4 times each with 100% wins.
Also in the pool are Dazzle, Tiny, Phoenix and Axe. All appeared 3 times and have a 66% win rate.
If you are ready to believe in the "raw" PSG.LGD - bet on the victory of PSG.LGD with odds of 2.1.
Not ready to bet on the representative of the Chinese region - read about the playing form of Execration. More on that below.
The Execration outfit
We continue our look at the Execration vs PSG.LGD with a look at the form of the former. The Southeast Asian side will play as underdogs, and the odds are 5.4 to win.
Execration do look like one of the weaker teams in the tournament, but that gap in the standings is a bit of a stretch. It's all about Execration's playing experience.
In the first round of DPC 2023, the team won their league, closing the season 6-1. Then there was the debacle at The Lima Major 2023 where Execration did not win a single match in the group stage and left the tournament in the top 6.
In between rounds, the team changed coaches. March retained his position, but there have been no changes in the playing squad.
- The line-up: Palos, Bob, Tino, Shankz, BDz.
In the next DPC cycle, the team was again in the top of the regional league. This time in top 2, but in the international arena and then not so lucky.
The team got to DreamLeague Season 19, but they could not show a decent game there. There were attempts to advance to the second round of the championship, Execration even made it to the re-match, where they beat Aster, but then lost to TSM and dropped out.
The most popular Execration heroes
The most pickable hero is Tiny (10 matches, 50% win rate). Other picks are Mirana (6 games, 83% wins), Visage (6 games, 83% wins), Beastmaster (6 games, 50% wins), Batrider (6 games, 33% wins).
Ready to believe in the success of Execration - pick them to win the match at odds of 5.4.
If you are still in doubt and are not prepared to bet for Execration, take a look at the history of their head-to-head encounters.
History of head-to-head encounters between Execration and PSG.LGD
The teams have played each other in official games. The only official match in 2023 was at the Lima Major 2023 and the teams were unable to determine the strongest, ending in a draw.
Execration vs PSG.LGD
Based on the experience of the head-to-head encounters between Execration and PSG.LGD, a potential tie is a foregone conclusion. This is supported by Execration's tautness, which they received at DreamLeague Seson 19. Yes, on an old patch, but still - they got it.
I believe in one card from Execration. I don't believe in PSG.LGD's big preparation impact for Berlin Major 2023, given that they'll have to play on the new patch anyway.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Execration.
