We start the review of the match with an analysis of the form of Beastcoast. The Peruvian club in this match will act as a favorite.
The bookmakers estimate the success of Beastcoast with odds around 1.5. Beastcoast will definitely come into the match with an advantage.
Even taking into account the status of the team and performers playing for the updated Beastcoast, we will still have a dry fact. As part of the same BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas Beastcoast, they are accelerating, although in some places they still have strong gaps.

So far, the effects of the reshuffle are having a noticeable effect on Beastcoast. The team is still having a hard time playing matches even within the local BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas, but the desire to win together is still there.
- K1
- DarkMago
- Sacred
- Scofield
- Stinger
I think every subsequent match for Beastcoast will be easier. Yes, I believe that Beastcoast will not stop at the TOP-4.
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.
The team started their way to BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas from the playoff stage, where they received a direct invitation. In the first round, Beastcoast lost to Thunder Awaken 1-2.
The lower bracket comeback started with a 2-1 win over 5RATFORCESTAFF. Then Beastcoats defeated Nouns with a similar score, not without problems.
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).

Form Infinity
We continue to prepare for the match along with a review of the form of Infinity. South American club in this fight in the status of catching up.
The chance of Infinity winning in this fight, according to the bookmakers, is 2.3. The gap between the teams is small, but it exists.
Infinity keep a close distance to their star counterparts thanks to the game as part of BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas. In this championship, they look equal to the teams of Beastcoas, TSM and EG, which is unlikely to remain so at DPC 2023.
Composition of Infinity
Calling Beastcoast stars, it is impossible not to mention the performers in Infinity. Here, too, there are names of at least a regional scale and players with potential.
- Parker
- Leostyle-
- Frank
- Genek
- Prada
Against the background of the headliners of the team in the person of Parker, Leostyle and Franka, the newcomers Genek and Prada look good. Naturally, the team is lame, but Beastcoast have not played a single game clean, so it's too early to write off Infinity.
Performance Infinity
Last season, Infinity made it to the South American First Division by winning the DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division II. Then there were TOP 12 at BTS Pro Series Season 10: Americas, 9-16 at Royal Jelly Covenant: LATAM and then TOP 6 DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1.
Before the failure at DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1, the team took TOP-6 at BTS Pro Series Season 11: Americas. Speaking of failure, it was the Top 7 at DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1 that left Infinity out of the South American First Division.
Dali had several attempts to qualify for local tournaments and then a performance in the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas with a formatted roster.
The changes were beneficial, as the club looked very confident in the group stage. The Peruvians finished it with a score of 4-3-0, having played on cards with a score of 11-3.
In the playoffs, Infinity met Nouns in the first round of the upper bracket, after which they fell to the lower bracket after losing 1-2. There, Infinity outplayed Wildcard 2-0 and then cameback from 0-1 in the match against Thunder, closing it 2-1 in their favor.
Heroes of Infinity
The most selectable Infinity characters for a couple are Templar Assassin and Crystal Maiden. Both have 3 matches and 66% of wins.
Next up are Enigma and Juggernaut. Both characters appeared in two matches and won both. Magnus, Batrider, Beastmaster were also picked twice, but managed to win 1 game each.
History of personal confrontations Beastcoast – Infinity
Previously, the teams in these lineups did not play with each other. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the two clubs.
Prediction for the match Beastcoast – Infinity
In this duel, based on banal logic, we should expect a full-fledged bo3. Both teams at BTS Pro Series Season 11: Americas do not win with a clean sheet, and the Infinity-Wildcard match is more of an exception to the rule. In this case, I see for myself a bet on 2-1 in favor of Beastcoast, although given the very acceptable odds, you can just take a win.
Bottom line: Beatcoast win 2-1.
