HEROIC vs Parivision Prediction: We're in For a Snipers' Duel

Prediction for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 match, which will take place on November 21st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

HEROIC

Even though The MongolZ lost to Thunderpick at the LAN tournament, HEROIC still managed to change the experts' minds and prove the fighting ability of the current roster. This is a big win for Abdul Hasanov. Unlike Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev, he didn't lose his mojo during his long downtime. On top of that, the standard of the HEROIC team is way above the average level of all the Falcons players. Even if the team doesn't make it to the majors, it'll perform at least as well as the Arabian tag did at RMR.

The whole team showed consistent performance at Elisa Masters Espoo (2nd place) and IEM Rio (3rd-4th place), which suggests that HEROIC is ready to make an impact in Shanghai. At the same time, experts are saying that Astralis and Eternal Fire are the favorites, even though Astralis will be playing with replacements in RMR and Eternal Fire hasn't changed its game pattern or billets since August.

PARIVISION

The Russian team is in the same category as the experts who think they'll have a final score of '2-3' at the end of RMR. So, Parivision will put up a fight and take some series with equal opponents, but it's unlikely to hold its own against the top teams in Group B. The team hasn't shown much consistency, even against their peers, performing poorly at the Hellcase Cup and RES Regional Champions. They've also lost 0-2 to UNPAID and Nemiga and 1-2 to fnatic.

Each player is strong in their way, but you have to consider the level of tournaments Parivision plays at. Even though Artem ArtFr0st Kharitonov and Robert Patsi Isyanov have played at the tier-1 level, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll succeed. If they've only played against mediocre opponents, it's not a sure thing they'll do well against better ones.

Expert Betting Tips

Group A didn't throw any surprises in the first round a week ago, so we can expect HEROIC to take the win quickly. The Russians don't have enough experience and a good winning streak before RMR, which would help them.
