?OG enter The International 10 qualifiers with Sumail “SumaiL” Hassan as a replacement for Anathan “ana” Pham, who retired from professional Dota 2 in June. Although ana’s absence will surely be noticeable, it’s hard to say that OG are weaker with TI5 champion as their no.1.
While we can praise OG for their stacked roster, it’s not like it has earned them any notable results on the season. Their best showing of 2021 came just under a month ago when OG finished fourth at ESL One Summer 2021.
Viking.gg enter this match as underdogs, which isn’t too surprising since they are a much weaker team than the two-time TI champions. However, the lack of star players hasn’t stopped Viking.gg from claiming some impressive results of late.
They took down Team Nigma (2-0) and AS Monaco Gaming (2-0) at the ESL One Summer 2021 and played well against the eventual champions, T1. If Vikin.gg can show the same fire here, they should have a realistic chance to win at least one map on Wednesday.

?Tundra Esports and Brame last met at the end of May in an upper-division bout at DreamLeague Season 15 DPC Western Europe. Brame won the first match 2-0 but lost the tiebreaker 0-1.
Their only previous meeting happened during the third season of EPIC League at the start of March when Tundra won 2-0. Tundra are now 2-1 up in the head-to-head with Brame and are 7-2 across their last nine outings – with wins against Vikin.gg (2-1, 2-0) and Team Liquid (2-0).
Although their last three head-to-head meetings were relatively close, it’s hard to make a case for Brame, who have been mostly playing against second-tier teams since their loss to Tundra in May and weren’t too successful at it. Tundra shouldn’t struggle on Wednesday.

?Team Liquid are one of the favourites to secure the final ticket leading to The International 10 and are now set to face one of the weakest teams at the tournament. Spider Pigzs (formerly Level UP) enter this bout with a 1-5 record from their last six outings, and Kamil “agressive child” Biktimirov as a replacement for Leonardo “RdO” Fernandes, who was unable to travel to Europe to join with his former Level UP teammates.
Team Liquid are expected to win, as they have a far more talented roster than Spider Pigzs. However, the current no.13 in the ESL Dota 2 rankings haven’t had much success over the season.
They’re 1-3-6 in their last 10 and are now without SumaiL, who helped them achieve their best placement of the season – silver at DreamLeague Season 15 DPC Western Europe Upper Division. Liquid can’t afford to lose here, but there’s definitely a higher than 36% chance that they drop one map.
