Maç Tahmini: BetBoom Team - Team Aster | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We begin our breakdown of The Berlin Major 2023 with a betting contest for the BB Team vs Team Aster match in Group A. The clash of the regions promises to be a heated battle at The International.

As part of the breakdown of the match we have analyzed the situation of the teams at the regional level and international events. We're ready to tell you what to expect from the next encounter and who will emerge the stronger, if such a team can be found, for that's what b2 is.

Let's go.

BB Team Forms

Takedown of the Berlin Major 2023 with a review of the BB Team's jersey. The team is seen as the favorite of the match, and the odds of winning before Long Soppeg is around 2.8.

The BB Team earned this position prior to the Long Saugus match by their success in the domestic league. The team was the best representative of Eastern Europe in the first round of the DPC, but quickly "slipped" into the top 16 at The Lima Major 2023.

In the second round of the DPC 2023 BB Team played much worse. 7-0 in the first round turned into 5-2 in the second and the TOP 1 was replaced by the TOP 3, which, however, was enough to get them through to the Berlin Major.

Before the Long Song tournament, the team played the Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1. Being one of the contenders to win the TIR-2 tournament, BB Team showed a rather lousy dota, there's no other way to say it: Top-16 wasn't the result they expected from the former Eastern European Champion.

Obviously, the team has monumental problems and perhaps they have to do with the roster. BB have not used a psychologist, which seems like an obvious option for 5 such self-centred players.

The BB Team has not heard about stand-ins yet, but they are suggested by the results of the team, and also the team may have visa problems. There have been active rumours on the net that Pure may miss the tournament due to problems with his documents and who would replace him in such a case is not entirely clear.

The most popular BB Team characters

The most used BB Team character remains Storm Spirit (5 matches, 60% wins). The team also plays Primal Beast and Pugna in position 4, and both heroes have 4 matches and 100% wins each.

In spades there is Enchantress (4 matches, 25% wins), Beastmaster (4 games, 0% wins).

If you're ready to believe in the BB Team on the background of their problems - bet on the victory of the Eastern European representative with odds of 2.8.

Team Aster formation

Team Aster will be up against the BB Team in their debut match. The team will play as underdogs with the odds on victory around 3.8.

This state of affairs can be explained by the very poor state of Chinese Dota. The region is stagnant, top teams are no longer a threat on the world stage, and top division residents are being banned for fake matches, using cheats and the like.

Aster, being the flagship representative of China, face part of the above problems. Predominantly in terms of results.

The team finished in the top 2 in the first round of the DPC before attending The Lima Major 2023. Their performance at the first Major tournament of the season cannot be called good, but their TOP-8 result is by all means better than that of BB at the same tournament.

After a very dismal showing in The Lima Major 2023, Aster finished in the top 4 of DPC 2023: China Upper Division, which qualified them for the tournament. Then there was DreamLeague S19, where Aster failed to make it out of the group, losing in tie-breaks to Execration.

Aster are having a crisis, which is also caused by confusion in the squad. For example, they played DreamLeague S19 without a coach, and while the current mid laner Xwy was not motivated, for he knew that he would be replaced in Berlin.

• Team Aster: Monet, SumaiL, Xxs, BoBoKa, Siamese C .

The not too experienced Xwy was replaced by the very experienced SumaiL. Seems to be a reinforcement that could play even better if the BB Team also gets re-scheduled due to visa or other problems.

Team Aster's most popular heroes

In the Aster pool: Disruptor (9 games, 55% win rate), Enchantress (9 games, 44% win rate), Beastmaster (7 games, 71% win rate), Clockwerk (7 games, 28% win rate).

Then there's Storm Spirit who SumaiL likes (6 games, 60% wins), Jakiro (6 games, 50% wins).

If you're ready to believe in Team Aster's success with SumaiL, bet on the victory of the Chinese representative with odds in the region of 3.8.

By the way, the teams have already played each other in the Lima Major 2023. Then they drew, but the situation is different now as one of them has a confirmed stand-in.

Predicted result of the match BB Team - Team Aster

Since this is a b2 match and on top of that the first match at the tournament, the probability of victory of either side is low. I'm leaning towards a more or less even match, as the two teams have been having serious difficulties lately and probably both will play with stand-ins.

I see the safest bet as +1.5 on Aster. SumaiL is a good alternative to Xwy and definitely not a weakening.

Bottom line: +1.5 on Aster.
