Welcome to EGamersWorld!
We have made a betting tip on Team Aster vs TSM in the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023. The teams will clash head-to-head on April 29, day 4 of the group stage of the German tournament.
The final games can make a big difference inside the standings, but this game does not look like it. The gap between the teams is visible to the naked eye and I think it will be even clearer in this game.
Let's find out what the teams are like and who will be the stronger of the two in the upcoming game.
Team Aster uniforms
Let's start the Team Aster - Execration review with an overview of the Chinese squad's uniforms. In this match, they'll play as favourites with a decent margin of victory.
There's no question about that. Even by the results for the season, Aster look more lively than TSM, while they are far from smooth.
Despite the general decline of play in the Chinese region, the top 2 and top 4 there still feel better than the top 1 twice in North America, all because the level of play on the international stage in Aster is, by all means, higher than that of Execration.
At the Lima Major 2023, Aster were the only Chinese team out of 4 that managed to make the top 8, while their future rival, to put it mildly, failed.
The Aster also had a performance at DreamLeague S19, but here they did worse than the first team from North America. By the way, it was TSM that kept Aster out of the next round of the $1,000,000 tournament.

The International is much more exciting when we get to the current state of Team Aster. With the arrival of SumaiL, albeit probably on a temporary basis, Aster have taken on new colours.
They are giving battle to the best teams in the world, being in the top 2 of the standings after the first few days. The SumaiL Factor plays like the "king" himself.
The most popular heroes of Team Aster
Aster play steadily, trying to create all the necessary conditions for SumaiL to play comfortably. Storm Spirit (2 matches, 100% wins), Rubick (2 matches, 50% wins), Alchemist (2 matches, 0% wins) play.
Io, Underlord, Bloodseeker, Terrorblade, Clockwerk, Beastmaster, and Pugna appeared. All characters played once and each won a different card.
Ready to believe in the SumaiL factor in this match - bet on Team Aster to win. We will talk about TSM and try to understand why it doesn't go well in big tournaments like Major.
TSM Form
We continue with our analysis of the North American club TSM's form. In this match they will play in the status of the outsider, as bookmakers say.
However, to understand the fate of TSM in this match, you do not need to refer to the bookmakers' opinion. TSM are eloquent with their performance.
After two-time championships inside their home league, TSM took part in every international event of the year. North American champion status didn't help them much.
At The Lima Major 2023, TSM did not do well, to put it mildly. The team struggled in the group stage, managed to get through it, but failed to progress beyond the Top 16.
Later, TSM took part in DreamLeague S19, and it seemed they would follow in their own footsteps, failing the championship and preparing for The Berlin Major 2023. Surprisingly, TSM were able to advance to the next round of the championship, beating Team Aster and Execration on three rounds.
- TSM's line-up: micKe, Nisha, zai, Boxi, Insania .
Looks like TSM ran out of mana at DreamLeague S19. It seems that they were supposed to gain experience against the strongest teams in the world and increase their team chemistry, but it didn't work out.
At the Berlin Major 2023 by ESL, the team lost all their matches and found themselves at the bottom of the Group A standings.
Possibly, and more likely, the release of patch 7.33, just a few days before the Berlin tournament, had a serious impact on TSM's game.
The most popular TSM heroes
TSM tried to bring new popular patch heroes like Void Spirit, Alchemist, Underlord into their pool of matches. There was even Medusa, but none of it worked.
There was no time left to find a working formula. And even if there was, it would hardly help TSM.
If you believe in a miracle from the North American division and TSM in particular, bet on the North American champion to win, but pay attention to the risks. They are high.
TSM - Team Aster match history
Team Aster and TSM have managed to play each other this season. Twice played on DreamLeague S19 and TSM performed better, with a draw and a win on the teabaggers. However, keep in mind the changes in the Aster line-up.
Predicted result of the TSM - Team Aster match
I don't see a chance for TSM in this match. The team from North America looks too deplorable and A Crossta is not visible in their game.
At the expense of SumaiL, Team Aster will beat their archrivals and guarantee themselves play-offs.
Bottom line: victory for Team Aster.
