In the second match of the first round of the lower bracket of the playoffs of i-League 2021 Season 2, RNG and Elephant will play. Obviously, this is the central match on September 3rd.
In the battle for life, perhaps, the heavyweights of the Chinese region will come together. At least at i-League 2021 Season 2, they seem like that.
Let's figure out who will be stronger in this derby and continue the march through the tournament, and who will be in 6th place.
Elephant shape
The favorites in this match will be the Elephant, who have picked up by the end of 2021. Before the TI-form?
In the group stage, Elephant finished their performance on the 3rd line, literally 1 card short of reaching the upper bracket. Now they have to fight for life.
And the questions are already appearing. In the first match of the playoffs, the Elephant lost to IG, who played much worse than the same elephants throughout the tournament.

It seems that strange peaks and so on were not noticed behind the “elephants”, but confidence in their games is still a random thing.
Elephant Heroes
The most selected heroes of the patch for the Elephant: Night Stalker (5 matches, 40% win), Hoodwink (4 matches, 50% win), Lifestealer (4 matches, 50% win).
The most successful heroes of the patch for Elephant: Nyx Assassin (3 matches, 100% wins), Shadow Demon (2 matches, 100% wins).
RNG form
Royal Never Give Up will act as catch-ups in the match. With this, perhaps, you can argue.
The fact is that specifically at i-League 2021 Season 2 RNG showed a game better than elephants. This is evidenced by the final place of the RNG in the group.
And where can the “kings” give their best, if not at i-League 2021 Season 2. They did not get to TI10, which means they need to play to their fullest wherever possible.

China is not predictable, but we have already talked about this. As is often the case in this region, there is faith in the victory of Elephant, but I also look forward to fighting from the RNG.
Result: handicap +1.5 on RNG.
