LGD Gaming vs. 9Pandas TI 12 Dota 2 Upper Bracket Quarterfinals overview and predictions

LGD Gaming, even with roster changes, has always been a serious Chinese team to fight for the top spot in The International. This statement is supported by the fact that LGD Gaming managed to dominate Group C and stay on top with a score of 7-1. They acquired an Upper Bracket slot by defeating Keyd Stars.

LGD managed to clean sweep nouns, Gaimin Gladiators, and Beascoast with aggressive fighting-based lineups. That said, they lost the first game against Virtus.pro (final group stage match) but bounced back to win the second, thus drawing the series.

9Pandas signed the former HellRaisers roster and made its debut in the Dota 2 esports scene in April 2023. They had a decent TI run as they lost the first group stage Bo2 against Team Spirit but drew two series against Entity and Evil Geniuses. 9 Pandas secured a safe standing in Group A by defeating Mind Control's Team SMG. They defeated BetBoom in Bo3 to grab an Upper Bracket Quarterfinals spot in Dota 2 TI12.

The upcoming match between LGD and 9Pandas promises to be a thrilling spectacle, as both teams boast large hero pools. LGD's dominant TI performance, spearheaded by NothingToSay, may pose a challenge to the early-game capabilities of the CIS team. However, 9Pandas will have a late-game advantage with Ramzes' carry heroes.
