Maç Tahmini: HellRaisers - Geek Fam | Dota 2

The first day of the group stage of Lima Major 2023 is coming to an end. As part of the last stream of games, we are waiting for matches in group B.

One of the confrontations will be a game between HellRaisers and Geek Slate. The weakest teams in group B in a face-to-face confrontation will challenge this and try to improve their positions.

Geek Slate is the second team in Southeast Asia. Having absorbed the Lilgun slot, they are ready to prove themselves on the international stage.

HellRaisers is the third team in Eastern Europe. The team used its chance within the top division and will try to gain a foothold in the middle of the group to advance to the playoffs.

We are trying to understand what to expect from such a match and which of the outsiders will look better in a duel.

Geek Slate Shape

Let's start the review of the match with an analysis of the pre-match performance of Geek Slate. This is because they are nominally higher, as they took second place in their region.

The achievement is doubtful, because there is an opinion that Southeast Asia is one of the weakest places in modern DotA. Like it or not, we will find out already with the start of the tournament, but more on that later.

The bookmaker evaluates the chance of winning Geek Slate with a coefficient of 3.45. Absolute parity, which was to be expected.

Geek Slate line-up

In terms of names, the Geek Slate roster lags behind HellRaisers. The latter still have a very experienced captain, capable of creating a combat-ready squad, perhaps within the region, but still. Geek Slate also has its own heroes, and they are very charismatic.

Geek Slate players

• skem
• Kokz
• force
• NARMAN
• Roddgeee

Such a star can be called Skem. The unique player managed to prove himself in the BOOM roster, once played a support, but the main role of a carry. In general, a headliner around which the game will be built.

Geek Slate Performance

An interesting story happened with Geek Slate, as the team didn't actually earn a DPC slot. She absorbed it from the Mongols from Lilgun, who made it to the first division at the end of the last season and games in the lower division there.

However, the machinations were turned out not in vain. At the end of the season, GS took 2nd place in the Regional League, finishing it with a score of 5-2.

Before the match with HellRaisers, Geek Slate will play against Entity. It will be difficult for the team from Southeast Asia in that match, but I believe in one card from them.

Geek Slate Heroes

The most selectable Geek Slate character is Snapfire. The hero has spawned 15 times and has a 53% win rate. Undying has similar statistics.

They also love Rubick, who played 14 matches with a 64% win rate. Ember Spirit was also picked 14 times, but has a slightly better win rate - 15% win rate.

Tusk appeared 13 times and won 46% of the time. There was also Broodmother (12 matches, 50% of wins).

HellRaisers form

HR will stand on the other side of the barricades. HellRaisers, as the last participant of Lima Major 2023 from Eastern Europe, will not be able to boast the status of a favorite here.

On the other hand, they will not be left behind. The bookmaker evaluates their chance of winning with odds of 3.45.

For HellRaisers, this position will be almost the best in the entire group stage. If HR wants to claim something in the Peruvian Major, Geek Slate needs to be beaten, because otherwise things will be very poor.

HellRaisers roster

HellRaisers' problems at this tournament are obvious. They start at the team roster stage.

HellRaisers Players

• Yuragi
• depressed kid
• MieRo`
• Antares
• Solo

After passing to Lima Major 2023, Daxak left the team. He left with a scandal, as befits the media personalities of Eastern Europe. In general, nothing new.

I am not a fan of Daxak and do not consider it a panacea, but the presence of Yuragi in the composition makes it weaker. Here the essence is in the banal lack of time and preparation for the tournament.

HellRaisers performance

HellRaisers finished the regular season with a score of 4-3. In addition to DPC, HR played at third-party tournaments from BB. Success is doubtful.

BB Universe: Episode 1 - Cosmic Zone became such a championship. There, HellRaisers managed to play in the group stage and pass it, but didn't make it to the playoffs: HR failed the first match in the upper bracket, and then lost to Ooredoo Thunder and left the event.

Before Geek Slate, the team is waiting for the game against Team Liquid. I think there is no need to explain why HR has no chance in that match.

Heroes HellRaisers

The most picked heroes by HellRaisers were: Enchantress (4 matches, 75% wins), Tusk (4 matches, 75% wins), Alchemist (3 matches, 100% wins), Crystal Maiden (3 matches, 100% wins), Legion Commander (3 matches, 100% wins).

In addition, they like to use meta carries. Of these, Naga Siren (6 matches, 50% wins), Sniper (5 matches, 60% wins) can be noted.

History of personal confrontations

The teams did not play each other until Lima Major 2023. The match within the group stage of Lima Major 2023 will be the debut face-to-face confrontation for the teams.

Match outcome

The teams are rated as equal, but my sympathy is on the side of Geek Slate. I am sure that the representatives of Southeast Asia will be able to make the opponent dance to their tune and take the meeting.

HellRaisers with a replacement seem to be the first contender for relegation. I do not believe in their success even in such a seemingly passing match.

Bottom line: Geek Slate wins.
