G2.IG vs. Talon: The International match prediction
On September 4, we are expecting an interesting confrontation within The International, in which the teams G2.IG and Talon Esports will take part. The last match between the teams ended with a confident victory for the Chinese, but enough time has passed since then for Mikoto and company to work on their mistakes. Nevertheless, bookmakers consider the team from the Celestial Empire to be the favorites. Is this justified? Is it worth betting on them? You will find the answers to these questions in the betting tip

Command Analysis

G2.iG

Current form
G2.IG is currently ranked 11th in the world rankings and is one of the strongest teams in their region. However, the team is not stable at major tournaments and cannot develop a long winning streak in official matches. Most recently, the Chinese took part in the FISSURE tournament, where they confidently passed the Play-In stage, but lost to Falcons (1:2) and Cloud9 (0:2) in the group stage, which is why they were unable to get to the playoffs.
Interesting trends for betting
- G2.IG have a 63.14% win rate with Mirana in the pick
- On average, the Chinese get 25 kills per card
Estimated composition
Monet, NothingToSay, JT-, BoBoKa, xNova

Talon Esports

Current form
Talon Esports, like last year, remain a dark horse in the tournament, capable of "firing" at any moment. The team is considered "average" in the international arena, but from time to time it surprises with its results and gives a worthy rebuff to the giants. However, at its last event, namely Snow Ruyi, the Asian team did not play its best and in six matches was able to win only one victory in a duel with Virtus.pro (2:0), but in the next meeting in the playoffs it already lost to Nigma with a score of 1:2.
Interesting trends for betting
- Talon win 68.52% of matches when they have Mars
- Talon statistically make at least 25 kills per map
Estimated composition
Akashi, Mikoto, Ws, Jhocam, Ponyo
Trends

2.55Tip and bets
G2.IG are considered the favorites of the match largely due to the recent unsuccessful performances of Talon Esports. However, in general, the Chinese do not look that much stronger than their counterpart. Previous meetings between the teams were also tense and often ended in favor of Talon. Invictus Gaming is far from the most stable team, so it is quite possible that they will still stumble on one of the maps.
Prediction - Talon will not lose with odds of 1.60
