G2.iG - Dark Horse predictions and free betting tips [22/03/2024]

DreamLeague Season 23. Closed qualifiers. China. The inaugural matchday. Upper bracket. Within the basket of opening matches, this particular game comes across as one of the predictable ones, in fact, it appears to be the most predictable match of the entire qualification. G2 Invictus Gaming will be competing against Dark Horse.

G2 Invictus Gaming

Determining the main favourite of Chinese qualification prior to the tournament is quite a task. However, it's pretty clear that G2 Invictus Gaming naturally falls into this category. Despite having an impressive roster, they have not achieved anything extraordinary yet. Still, they have managed to secure their spots in almost all major tournaments, which indicates their potential. Now, they face the toughest challenge yet as they are competing against three giants and two young teams who are all eager to make a statement.

Their recent performances have been a bit disappointing, for example, they were the only Chinese team to lose a non-Chinese team at the Future Games. They lost to BOOM Esports in the third-place match. Similarly, at DreamLeague Season 22, they were the first team to be eliminated in the first group stage. If qualification fails this time, serious changes in the team or even disbanding could be in the offing.

Dark Horse

The team's name reflects the expectations for it. Indeed, their roster includes a player who competed in China's first division last season. "L'enfer, c'est les autres", that's the player who played for Outsiders from China, who lost all their matches in the first division, then the same scenario occurred in the second division.

This team qualified for this event through a second open qualifier, being the last team to do so, which clearly marks them as the biggest outsiders of the tournament. If they somehow manage to win even a series, it would be a genuine sensation, something that was impossible to predict.

Head-to-Head

G2 Invictus Gaming and Dark Horse have never faced each other before.

Predictions

Certainly, G2 Invictus Gaming are the favourites in this match. Thus, we bet on P1; the return might be small but it's akin to depositing money in a bank; it provides a safe and modest return.
