We're getting towards the business end of the group stage at The International 2019, and the day three schedule is packed with some mouth-watering action.
As many expected, Team Secret look to be the team to beat in Group A and Puppey's men lead the way with eight points after day two's results.
But, hot on their heels are PSG.LGD, the beaten finalists at TI8 and the two in-form teams meet in the final series of the day at 1pm CEST.
Both have matches before that - Secret face TNC and Mineski, while PSG.LGD also face Minesk- but, before the day's play Secret are favourites to take the victory at 2.80. The Chinese team are 4.15 and the draw is available at 1.98. There's more betting odds and the Team Secret vs PSG.LGD live stream on our matches page.

OG going strong
Meanwhile, in Group B, OG lead the way having not dropped a game so far. The reigning International champions are in action twice on day three, against Virtus.pro and Fnatic.
Virtus.pro have been somewhat slow out of the blocks in Shanghai, winning and drawing once but losing twice. However, they are favourites to turn their form around against OG, with VP 3.0, the draw at 1.98 and OG at 3.70. The OG vs VP live stream and betting odds are on the Luckbox matches page.
