Upcoming.
Quest Esports Form
Let's open the match with an analysis of the Quest Esports uniforms. Quest will play in this match as favourites.
Bookmakers believe in the success of Quest. The odds for their victory are at around 1.6.
Quest Esports' advantage is understandable. Not only have they added a lot to their performance in the second half of the season, but they are also a resident of Western Europe, which is the best region in existence. However, the gap in odds can be called minimal, given the importance of the match and the Bo3 format.
Quest Esports were one of the major revelations of the season. It was hard to imagine them in the top 4 Major, but here they are.
They started their rise to the top of Major a with a top-5 finish at DPC 2023: WEU. Then the team was one map short of reaching the Berlin Major 2023, but not enough.
In the third round of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 the team again showed a top game and that time they had enough. It was enough for the top 3 of the tournament, and as a result, they made it to The Bali Major 2023.
- Quest Esports roster: TA2000, No!ob, Malik, OmaR, kaori.
During the Bali Major 2023 Quest Esports showed from the very beginning of the tournament that they did not come there to rest. The team finished top-1 in their group and then went to play in the top set of play-offs. In the end, Quest's jaunt through The Bali Major 2023 ended with them in 4th place.
Having travelled to the Riyadh Masters 2023 with a replacement in the lineup, Quest Esports did not lose their team scilll. In their Play-In group the team took a confident first place, losing only 1 match out of 5.
The group stage of the Saudi tournament also proved to be no match for Quest. Residents of Western Europe confidently took the top 1 in Group A, thereby guaranteeing themselves passage to the top grid play-offs. But the main stage didn't start the way the European club would have liked. In a tense game against Talon TA2000 and Ledge were defeated 1-2.
The most popular Quest Esports characters
Among the most popular Quest characters are Shadow Demon (14 matches, 71% wins), Snapfire (14 matches, 64% wins), Techies (12 matches, 83% wins).
Also playing with Undying (9 games, 77% wins), Templar Assassin (8 matches, 50% wins).
There's also Silencer (7 games, 100% wins), Medusa (7 games, 100% wins), Doom (7 matches, 85% wins), Enchantress (7 matches, 71% wins).
Form PSG.LGD
Let's continue betting tip with PSG.LGD form analysis. In this match they will play as an outsider.
Bookmakers do not really believe in the success of PSG.LGD. The chance of victory of the Chinese club is estimated at 2.2.
PSG.LGD in the season 2023 lacks stability and high-profile results, but work on the problems of the squad does not stop. It can be seen that the team is progressing and the results at recent international championships are proof of that.
Prior to the tournament in Riyadh, PSG.LGD's portfolio in 2023 consists of Top 3 regional league appearances: twice Top 1 (DPC 2023: Tour 1 and DPC 2023: Tour 3) and Top 2 at DPC 2023: Tour 2.
On the international stage, PSG.LGD fell to The Lima Major 2023, where they crashed out in the first round of play-offs. The second Major season was no better than the first, PSG.LGD again flew away with a first round play-offs ranking in the top 12 at the tournament. In addition, the team missed DreamLeague S19.
- PSG.LGD roster: shiro, NothingToSay, niu, planet, y`.
The heyday of PSG.LGD happened on DL S20, where the team reached the play-offs of DreamLeague Season 20, which was the loudest result of the team for the whole year. As a result, the Chinese finished in the top 3 at the prestigious championship.
Later, it was The Bali Major 2023, where PSG.LGD did well again. At the last Major event of the season, the team finished in the top 6, losing in the match for the top 4 to Quest Esports.
The most popular PSG.LGD heroes
The most frequent guest of PSG.LGD peaks at DreamLeague S20 is Techies (5 matches, 60% wins). Next are Void Spirit and Magnus with 4 matches and 75% wins.
Opponents should beware of Phantom Lancer (3 matches, 100% wins). Skywrath Mage (3 matches, 66% wins) and Ember Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins) are also picks.
Head-to-head history
The clubs have previously played each other on the big stage. There were 3 matches in total and now there is parity between the teams: each team has a win and a draw in the group stages of the Riyadh Masters 2023.
Match outcome
From the looks of it, we are in for a fairly close match. This is evident by the overall form of the teams.
Both Quest and PSG.LGD have put on some weight ahead of the Long Sogpeg The International 2023. Yes, Quest is a bit better, as the last time the teams met at The International ended in a European victory, but I think PSG.LGD will take revenge. It seems to me that playing with substitutes and falling to the bottom of the net, as it happened to Quest, they will not be able to get out.
Bottom line: PSG.LGD wins.
