Dota 2: T1 vs Team Aster, TI 10 predictions

T1 and Team Aster have several points in common. Both were formed about three years ago, and have cemented their positions as Dota 2 heavyweights in their respective regions - SEA and China.

Moreover, both have been underwhelming in the tournament thus far. For Team Aster, their shaky start may be attributed to the COVID woes faced by their Dota 2 roster.

They dropped their opening series against EG, where they had to play with Chen "86" Yuxuan as a stand-in for their midlaner. More surprisingly, they capitulated in their second series against Undying and posted a scoreline of 0-2. This was after they got their full Dota 2 roster back online.

T1, similarly, have performed poorly in the tournament, losing 6 out of their 8 matches.

But both teams have made surprise comebacks on the second day of the group stage. T1 delivered a scintillating performance to defeat Virtus.pro, who have proven themselves to be impeccable in TI time and time again.

Hours later, Aster reinstated themselves as a potential upper bracket threat by stomping OG in a 2-0 series win. Notably, OG had not lost a single series up until that point.

Since then, T1 have suffered a 0-2 loss to OG. Coupled with that, the former has struggled to adjust to a fast-paced tournament meta.

Although T1 was their bane in the AniMajor, Team Aster seems to be in better shape for today, owing to Monet's peak form and their ability to control the tempo with Karl's Storm Spirit.
