PSG.LGD: The Spoils of War 

Can PSG.LGD prevent both teams to have the first double winners in the history of Dota The International? Team Liquid won on the TI7 against Newbee and OG outplayed and takes the trophy against them. But before that, PSG.LGD must fight Team Liquid on their Lower Bracket Finals today.

Home favourites PSG.LGD are hunting for for their first International Title. They strike down the upper bracket prominent teams which included Virtus.Pro and Vici Gaming and outplayed them with the score of 2-0. On their road to the slot for Grand finals against OG, OG vanquish with the score of 2-1 and which put them down to lower bracket.Their defeat in TI8 Grand Finals seems to have left some scars but equally, it might have gathered LGD’s intentions focused around a single objective: winning The International. It did not prevent them to show a relative consistency over the year, but more is expected from LGD.

PSG.LGD must show their nerves and psychological toughness to take down Team Liquid before going to the grand finals. We know the capability of both teams but now LGD has has more empowered because of the Chinese support and their team is the only Chinese team left who fight for the Aegis of Champions.

PSG.LGD vs OG is not the same as last year. Losing from OG on TI8 is just an obstacle for them to overcome and to become a champion. LGD has a lot to show this year TI and win the rematch against OG.
