Entity vs Team SMG Prediction: the Europeans Want to Stay in the Upper Grid

Prediction for The International 2023 match which will take place on October 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Entity

Team Entity has pleasantly surprised us with their success. Fishman and his teammates prepared well and easily won a slot at The International 2023 through regional qualifications. No one expected them to compete for a spot in the year's main tournament with a team like Luna Galaxy, but a win is a win.

They can take credit for their first day in Seattle. Entity played three matches, winning over Evil Geniuses, drawing with 9 Pandas, and losing to the main favorites - Team Spirit. With 3-3 on the maps and only one game left to play, the Europeans still have a good chance at the top spot, but it's crucial to beat Team SMG to be independent of the Pandas' parallel match.

Entity showed their potential at the Riyadh Masters 2023 tournament with the arrival of newcomer Gabbi. The lineup changes did not bring the team much success, and they quickly exited the tournament, losing to OG. Under the influence of the Asian offlaner, the team's play became more aggressive, but sometimes it didn't let them win.

Team SMG

The poor Team SMG finally made it to TI. The arrival of a Ukrainian player - No[o]ne - helped the Asian team win their regional league and earn a coveted spot in the tournament.

Many rumors were going on about the arrival of another Dota legend - Puppey. But it didn't come to Clement, but the changes did happen: MinD_ContRoL came to play as an offlaner, replacing Masaros. Heen will temporarily take the place of mentor in Team SMG. Jaunuel got a visa for the USA at the last minute, so Puppey will not play for this team.

Team SMG will be interesting to watch with such a roster, but we don't expect much success at TI from this chaos. The Asian team is the first contender to leave because they lost to Team Spirit and 9 Pandas. The Asians got the only point after a draw with Evil Geniuses. So Team SMG has no right to make a mistake. They need only victory in the series.

Expert Betting Tips

Entity looks a bit stronger than Team SMG because it's already funny to see how MidOne ruins, and Fishman has good motivation ahead of this meeting.
