Maç Tahmini: Shopify Rebellion - TSM | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The International 2023 playoffs have solemnly come to a close. The first round of the upper grid is over, where the participants of the quarter-finals have been determined and the top 6 teams of The International are guaranteed. Ahead are the knockout matches.

We open our breakdown of the bottom of the grid play-offs Road to The International with a betting tirade on the Shopify Rebellion match. The American derby for life in the year's main tournament: what could be better?

Let's find out which of the teams will be stronger and continue their way to The International 2023, and who will have to say goodbye to the prospects of successfully playing the final ranking tournament of the 2023 season.

Let's go.

Shopify Rebellion Form.

We open the American derby with an analysis of Shopify Rebellion's form. In this match, they will play as the match favourite with odds to win around 1.5.

On the home stage, Shopify Rebellion have finished in the top 2 twice. In the third round, Arteezy and company finally snatched the championship.

At The Lima Major 2023, Shopify Rebellion made it all the way to the top 4. The top three were prevented, unexpectedly, by Talon Esports.

In addition to The Lima Major 2023, the team played at DreamLeague Season 19, and they played even better than the Peruvian major. Cooler because they played with substitutes (the inexperienced Mikey played as a substitute for Abed) and reached the top 3 of the tournament for $1,000,000.

Then there was The Berlin Major 2023 with a dismal top-12, and then the third round of DPC 2023: NA Division 1. The latter went better: SR took the top spot, guaranteeing themselves passage to The Bali Major 2023, and actually made it to The International 2023.

• Shopify Rebellion roster: Arteezy, Abed, SaberLight, Cr1t, Fly.

At DreamLeague Season 20 SR again played with substitutes, but this time they failed to repeat the success of the DL S19 period: Shopify Rebellion failed to pass the first group stage of the DL and, like Liquid, left the championship early.

After the 20th season of DreamLeague Shopify Rebellion played two major events: Bali Major 2023 and Riyadh Masters 2023. Both championships ended miserably: TOP-12 and TOP-16 respectively.

The International is more interesting than Shopify's position at DreamLeague Season 21. Having fallen into Group A to such serious opponents as Liquid and Talon. Nevertheless, Shopify Rebellion took the first place in their basket, thereby advancing to the top of the play-offs.

In the first play-offs match of DreamLeague Season 21 Shopify Rebellion had to mobilise all the knowledge and all the skill to defeat the Eastern European residents from BB Team. The match ended with the score 2-1 in favour of Shopify, and Arteezy for the first time in a long time gave not a meme highlite, but a game-changing moment.

In the match to advance to the DL S21 SR Ledge and Team Spirit, but later again outplayed BB in the lower grid match. However, it was not possible to take revenge from Spirit in the grand finals: the Dragons easily slammed Shopify Rebellion with a score of 3-0, and Arteezy and company took the top 2.

Shopify Rebellion showed a very questionable performance in the group stage. They barely managed to claw their way into the top 4 in Basket B, finishing it with a score of 2-7.

In the seeding match for the play-offs of The International 2023, Arteezy and company played against one of the main favourites of the tournament, Team Spirit. I don't know why, with a huge advantage on the first map, SR couldn't do anything against the Dragons and rather mediocrely Ledgeili in the series with the score 0-2.

TSM Form

We continue our match analysis with an analysis of TSM's match form. In this match they will play as Underpassdogs with odds to win at around 2.3.

The American club had a rather controversial season, but they achieved their main goal. They are at The International 2023.

Before making it to The International 2023 TSM made a good mark on the domestic scene. The club won two seasons of DPC 2023: NA Upper Division, but in the third and last season they showed a critically low performance: there TSM took the top 3, which in the current realities of the North American Dota 2 scene is not a good indicator.

There were some performances on the international scene as well, but again, very questionable. TSM attended 2 Major tournaments - Lima Major and Berlin Major - and both failed miserably. While Lima had a top-14 ranking, the German event saw the team ranked in the top-18.

In between ranking events, TSM attended commercial andVent events. Among them: DreamLeague Season 19 and DreamLeague Season 20, as well as Riyadh Masters 2023. TSM finished all three championships with essentially nothing: Top 8 at DL S19, Top 14 at DL S20 and Riyadh Masters 2023.

• TSM lineup: Timado, Bryle, Kasane, Ari, Whitemon.

Prior to the Long Sogpeg of The International 2023, TSM attended the BB Dacha LAN tournament, which became a kind of bootcamp for the participants of The International. Quite unexpectedly, the Americans managed to reach the grand finals, leaving behind such teams as 9Pandas, beastcoast and Team Secret.

In the grand finals TSM faced Gaimin Gladiators and lost. They lost 1-3, but they got the top 2, which is not bad.

In the group stage of The International 2023, TSM did surprisingly well. The team played with a score of 4-4, taking the top 2 in Basket D.

In the final game of the group stage, TSM faced Vp. Being a contender for victory, they were toothlessly beaten 0-2. Overall: Eastern Europe 2-0 North America.

Most popular TSM heroes

Natures Prophet and Rubick appeared most often in spades. Both characters have been taken 4 times each and have 100% wins.

Vengeful Spirit, Beastmaster and Tusk have appeared a similar number of times. They have won 3 matches each out of 4 appearances.

TSM - Shopify Rebellion head-to-head history

Over the last 5 matches, the stats speak in favour of Shopify Rebellion. They have won 2 matches and lost 1, with the rest being draws.

The predicted result of TSM - Shopify Rebellion match at The International 2023

Truth be told, this is one of those matches that is, well, totally unnecessary. Really.

It seems that Shopify Rebellion should win, because they are the more status team with the better portfolio, but when you look at them, and especially at the legendary Arthur Arteezy at The International 2023, you realise that they have nothing to catch here in global terms. I feel the same way about TSM, except that they looked a bit more awake during the tournament.

In general, I think TSM will take the map, and then we'll see.

Bottom line: +1.5 on TSM.
