Prediction for the Entity vs. Quest Esports match. DPC 2023 Tour 3: WEU Division I (Upper) 19.05.2023

Epic Showdown at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour 3 – Entity vs. Quest Esports. Analyzing the upcoming match between Entity and Quest Esports in the third week of DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour. This match promises to be one of the most exciting and vibrant events of the week.

It differs from the hypothetical Liquid vs. Gladiators derby, which has become so mundane that it no longer generates the same interest as before. However, this match attracts attention due to its unpredictability and dynamic gameplay from both teams.

Both Entity and Quest Esports are passionately striving to qualify for the last major of the season and have a slim hope of direct entry to The International 2023. Let’s delve into who will get closer to this daunting goal.

Analysis of Entity’s Form: Let’s start by analyzing the gameplay form of Entity, who are considered favorites in this match.

Bookmakers estimate Entity’s chances of success with odds of around 1.6, which is the highest among all matches on the third game day.

It’s fair to say that such an evaluation is justified. Entity is a more experienced team and shows better results.

In the first DPC tour, they secured fourth place in WEU Upper Division Tour 1 and qualified for The Lima Major 2023. At the first major, they delivered a respectable performance, finishing in sixth place.

However, Entity couldn’t replicate their success. In the second DPC tour, they finished in sixth place and narrowly avoided losing their upper-division spot.

They attempted to climb up at DreamLeague S19, but in the tournament with a prize pool of 1,000,000 dollars, Entity played poorly, failing to win a single match and exiting the tournament after the first stage with a score of 0-4-3.

Entity’s roster: watson, Stormstormer, Tobi, Kataomi, Fishman. In the third DPC tour, Entity continues to show inconsistency. They’ve played two matches, but drawing any conclusions at this stage is premature.

They initially defeated Team Liquid 2-0 without much trouble, but then lost to Tundra Esports 0-2 without putting up much resistance.

The most popular heroes for Entity: Entity frequently picks Mirana (5 matches, 20% win rate), Pangolier (3 matches, 33% win rate), Rubick (3 matches, 33% win rate), Bane (2 matches, 50% win rate).

In addition, their drafts include Dark Seer, Pugna, Storm Spirit, and Anti-Mage. They’ve chosen these heroes twice each but haven’t managed to secure a victory with them.

Entity displays some eccentricity in their hero selections. This was particularly noticeable in their match against Tundra, where their strategy with Batrider, WR, Pudge, Pugna, and Magnus raised eyebrows among their stable opponents. In general, it’s advisable to stick to more standard picks, as Quest is likely to do.

Analysis of Quest Esports’ Form: Moving on to analyzing the gameplay form of Quest Esports, who are considered underdogs in this match.

Bookmakers are reserved about Quest Esports’ chances of winning, but they aren’t quick to dismiss them either. The odds for Quest’s victory are roughly around 2.

And that’s the right approach because considering Quest Esports as hopeless would be incorrect. Based on their past season’s experience, it can be said that this team can give a tough fight to both the giants and the “average” teams, which, judging by recent results, includes Entity. However, Quest Esports has not yet reached a high level.

When they competed under the Ooredoo Thunders tag, they finished fifth in the second tour, losing in tiebreakers to OG. Perhaps they missed a historic opportunity, but they still have the third tour, and they need to prove themselves here and now.

Quest Esports’ roster: TA2000, No!ob, ATF, OmaR, kaori. Quest Esports is currently undergoing an adaptation process. Although the core of the team has been playing together for a long time, ATF’s arrival at the start of the third tour significantly affects team synergy. ATF is a player with a strong individuality, so he will receive more attention within the team.

At the moment, Quest and Entity have the same number of wins and losses but with a two-map difference. In their first match, Quest lost to Gaimin Gladiators 1-2.

However, in the next game, Quest secured an important victory by defeating the OG team. This will give them extra strength and confidence for the match against Entity.

The most popular heroes for Quest: They often pick Clockwerk (3 matches, 100% win rate), Pangolier (2 matches, 100% win rate), Silencer (2 matches, 50% win rate), Death Prophet (2 matches, 0% win rate), Rubick (2 matches, 0% win rate). They also don’t forget their signature hero, Morphling.

Now let’s see how this match develops, considering the differing draft ideologies. As mentioned earlier, Entity may come up with unusual strategies, but based on their previous experience, it’s not recommended.

History of Meetings Between Quest and Entity: In the past, when Quest was still Ooredoo Thunders, they played against Entity and won 2-0. However, Quest has a new player now, and the outcome of the match no longer depends solely on the results of previous meetings.

Match Outcome: In this match, I expect a fairly even game from both teams. Most likely, the match will end in three maps, and I’m betting on Quest’s victory.

Quest looks more spirited. I don’t consider Entity’s victory over Liquid to be anything outstanding, especially since Liquid had a roster change. In general, I give preference to Entity.

Final Prediction: Quest Esports to win 2-1 against Entity.
