Prédiction de match : OG - D2 Hustlers {{Dota 2

Welcome back to EGamersWorld.

We have reached the climax of DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 3. We've prepared a betting tip for the OG - D1 Hustlers match, which will close out the main matches of the third round of Western Europe.

The match is of huge importance. The winner of the match can breathe a sigh of relief and start preparing for qualifiers for The International 2023, while the loser will have to go to replay for the chance to keep the slot.

Both teams have shown though not an outstanding, but very lively game in the third round of the Western European League or they wouldn't have made it to this stage. Let's talk about which side will make the final step and keep their place in the top flight, and who will have to play "overtime" in the tiebreaks, with the risk of ending up outside the top division.

Let's get started.

Form OG

We'll start the showdown with an analysis of OG's form. They'll be playing this game as favourites.

The bookmakers believe in the success of OG, as indicated by the odds on the team. OG's success in this match is rated at 1.5.

Such a figure is not surprising, because OG is a much more status-oriented team. However, the once top club has shown very little performance all year, and this affects the pre-match position of forces.

At DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 1 OG could not guarantee a top-4 finish and consequently missed out on The Lima Major 2023. Things seemed to pick up during the second round of DPC 2023: WEU Division 1. OG then made a strong comeback and moved into the Top 4 after tiebreaks.

In the Berlin Major the team played with two stand-ins and finished in top 6, but it seems that these stand-ins were the secret of their success. After returning to regular season matches with a full roster, OG look critically bad.

• OG lineup: Yuragi, bzm, DM, Taiga, Chu .

In the third round, OG is once again full of adventures. At the Long Conger of the season they played with substitutes (Taiga was played by Aramis), and the matches looked more like a hard labour than a Top 6 Major game.

The improvement started towards the end of the season, specifically in the game against Entity. Right now OG is 2-4 in stats and a victory is badly needed.

Most popular OG heroes

Among favorite OG characters: Keeper of the Light (6 games, 83% wins), Phantom Lancer (5 games, 60% wins).

Among the most successful: Crystal Maiden (4 games, 100% wins), Underlord (4 games, 100% wins), Alchemist (3 games, 100% wins), Storm Spirit (3 games, 100% wins), Void Spirit (3 games, 100% wins).

If they win, OG will guarantee themselves a place in the top division of DPC 2023: WEU next season. Sounds like enough motivation to me.

D1 Hustlers uniform.

We continue our match-by-match breakdown with an analysis of D1 Hustlers' playing form. In this encounter, they will be playing in underdog status.

The pre-match position is confirmed by the bookmakers. The odds of a D1 Hustlers victory are estimated at odds in the region of 2.5.

The D1 Hustlers are well deservedly in this position. The team has shown a very good game all season, as for a newcomer to the top division, who did not have much experience in the top leagues.

However, the D1 Hustlers are not in a league of their own. In the good tradition of Western Europe, they have shown they can take on the region's strongest teams, having gone through a good training school.

Previously, the team has only featured in local leagues, and also in the second division of the DPC. There, the D1 Hustlers finished in the top 2 last season, trailing only Secret.

• D1 Hustlers line-up: Sad, Adzantick, Davai Lama, Thiolicor, Xakoda .

Before the Long Sogpeg of the tournament, the team switched carry. The headliners of the squad are Thiolicor and Xakoda, rather experienced in relation to their teammates.

Before their final match, the D1 Hustlers have a 2-4 statistic. They only need to win here to retain their place in the top division.

However, defeat against OG does not put an end to OG's stay in the top division. If they lose, they'll play in tie-breaks for the chance to retain their place among Europe's top representatives.

Most popular D1 Hustlers heroes

A couple of the most picked D2 Hustlers heroes are Timbersaw and Rubick (4 games each, 75% wins). Next are Disruptor and Ember Spirit with 3 games and 2 wins each.

In addition, played with Bounty Hunter, Clockwerk, Mirana, Outworld Destroyer who have 2 wins in 2 games each.

It will be difficult to compete with OG, but it's manageable. Still, the latter have a very turbulent season, and therefore it is possible to surprise.

History of personal meetings OG - D1 Hustlers

Previously, the teams have not played each other in official matches. This match is the clubs' debut.

The outcome of the match

As sluggish as OG have looked this season, clearly not going through their best period, I'm on their side in this match. We already saw the team's ability to turn on themselves in an emergency, like we did last season. Then they outplayed the surprise Ooredoo Thunders, today they will beat the D1 Hustlers.

Bottom line: 2-0 in favour of OG.
