Maç Tahmini: 5RATFORCESTAFF - Beastcoast | Dota 2

In anticipation of the start of the new DPC season in 2023, we continue to monitor local events in different regions. At the peak of attention is the BTS Pro Series with the 13th season of competition.

After an 8-day group stage where 8 teams determined the names of the 4 that qualified for the playoffs. There they joined 4 teams invited directly.

From December 4 to 10, the teams will play in a double-elimination bracket with bo3 matches up to the grand final, which will be held in the bo5 format. We got close to the matches right through.

In the first round of the losers' bracket, Beastcoast and 5RATFORCESTAFF will play. Considering the tendencies of the tournament that began to take shape after the matches of the upper bracket, the outcome of this match cannot be called obvious.

Form Beastcoast

Let's start reviewing the duel by looking at Beastcoast's form. They are going to be the favorite in this fight.

The bookmaker evaluates the chance of winning Beastcoast with odds around 1.17. Crushing figures for the opponents of the Peruvian club, but not everything is so simple.

Of course, Beastcoast will play in the status of a favorite and this should be noticeable in the game. However, the problem of the new composition of the club is present.

Composition of Beastcoast

For a club from South America, this tournament is the first attempt at writing. Previously, I gave a big discount to the roster, as it turned out - in vain.

• K1
• DarkMago
• Sacred
• Scofield
• Stinger

So far, the formula “we will recruit top players and defeat everyone” does not work. TOP-8 and TOP-6 of The International in the first match of the playoffs did not cope with, in fact, the stack of Thunder Awaken.

Beastcoast Performance

The team won DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Final, placed 2nd at DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1 and TOP-2 at DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1. In 2022, the team played at two majors: ESL One Stockholm 2022 and PGL Arlington Major 2022, and twice the team took the TOP-6.

The last tournament for Beastcoast was The International 2022. There the team reached the TOP-8, where they were knocked out by PSG.LGD in a fight. Who knows how the match would have ended if 4 players had not fallen ill bc COVID-19.

Next, we proceed to the BTS Pro Series, where Beastcoast meet Thunder Awaken in the first series. Not at all those Thunder who took the TOP-6 of The International. As a result, Beastcoast fall into the BTS lower bracket after a rather toothless loss with a score of 1-2.

Heroes of Beastcoast

The most requested Beastcoast character in patch 7.32 is Snapfire. The character appeared 7 times and won 57% of matches. Next comes Shadow Fiend (7 matches, 57% of matches) and Tiny (7 matches, 42% of wins).

Also chosen by Beastcoast are Marci (6 matches, 80% win rate), Nyx Assassin (5 matches, 80% win rate). Crystal Maiden (5 matches, 80% win rate).

Form 5RATFORCESTAFF

We continue the review of the match along with the analysis of the form 5RATFORCESTAFF. They are playing as an outsider in this match.

The chance of a team from North America to win is estimated at 4.2. The figure hints at the imminent departure of 5RATFORCESTAFF from the championship, but there is nothing to fend off.

The first series of 5RATFORCESTAFF in the playoffs of BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas did not end well. More on this below.

Composition 5RATFORCESTAFF

Although 5RATFORCESTAFF have been playing together in this tournament for a relatively long time, the factor is not decisive. In principle, it is not surprising, the players are not first class.

• dmn
• kitz
• Speed
• MoOz
• albinozebra1

MoOz, which was discussed during the analysis of TSM - 5RATFORCESTAFF, did not show himself in the match against a formidable opponent. Perhaps he will show in this game, although the chances are small.

Performance of 5RATFORCESTAFF

The team spent last season mainly in the second division, but managed to break into the first tier of North America. As part of DPC NA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division II, the team took 4th place, after which they won DPC NA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division II, receiving promotion to the first league.

The team also played at BTS Pro Series Season 11: Americas. The team took TOP-12-13. In their first season in the top division, 5RATFORCESTAFF finished in the top 6, thus retaining their place in the elite league in the first round of DPC 2023.

The main success of 5RATFORCESTAFF was the victory at BTS Pro Series Season 12: Americas. There, the team won the championship, beating SG in the grand final with a score of 3-2.

As part of BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas, the team began its journey from the first phase of the group stage. 5RATFORCESTAFF beat No Runes (2-1) and Team DogChamp (2-0) on their way to a full-fledged group stage.

In the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas 5RATFORCESTAFF showed a high level of performance, which resulted in a further pass to the playoffs. The team won 4 matches and drew 3, leaving the group from 2nd place.

Although the champions of season 12 made it through the group stage well, this did not affect the playoffs in any way. TSM easily outplayed 5RATFORCESTAFF, closing 2 maps in 30+ minutes for both.

Heroes 5RATFORCESTAFF

In patch 7.32, Jakiro was the most played. The character appeared in matches 37 times, while winning 67% of the time. Next comes Crystal Maiden (16 matches, 56% win rate) and Pangolier (12 matches, 83% win rate).

They also like to play Ember Spirit (12 matches, 75% wins), Naga Siren (12 matches, 66% wins), Mirana (12 matches, 66% wins).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams did not play each other in these rosters. The debut match will be a knock-out match in the lower bracket of the playoffs.

Match outcome

It is very difficult to believe that Beastcoast will be knocked out in the match against 5RATFORCESTAFF, but this outcome should not be ruled out. Beastcoast are still very raw, and even a 5RATFORCESTAFF team can put a spoke in the wheel.

There is no point in betting on the victory of Beastcoast, the odds are too low. I will try again to choose a clean win, as I did in the match with Thunder, but this time I am much more confident.

Outcome: Beastcoast victory with a score of 2-0.
