Maç Tahmini: TSM - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2

BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas is coming to its climax. Next in line is the fight for reaching the final of the local tournament.

A duel with a loud sign. It's not often you see Evil Geniuses versus TSM outside of DPCs or major championships.

After the big autumn reshuffle, the teams are testing new rosters, and it’s hard to find better places than BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas for this.

We figure out which of the top clubs will be the first to reach the final bo5.

Evil Geniuses Form

Let's start the analysis with a tag that is louder for the world of Dota 2. Evil Geniuses claim the first final in a new guise.

The chance of the North American club winning in the updated “package” is 1.87. The second match of the BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas draw, no favorites.

There is no reason to doubt the estimates of the bookmakers. EG look formidable on paper, but so far the South American roster is far from unconditional victories.

Evil Geniuses line-up

The last transfer window of Evil Geniuses was carried out radically. The club moved to another region, changing all the players.

• Pakazs
• Chris Luck
• Wisper
• Matthew
• pandaboo

EG managed to win over the entire color of the South American DotA. It will take some time to build a top team, but the team is already going through the first trials. Everything is not perfect, but the potential of the composition is obviously huge.

EG Performance

The EG players shone and put on a great show last season. They took unconditional superiority in their region and showed competition in the international arena.

The current EG then took the first line at the DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division 1, after which they finished on the 3rd line of the DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Final. Then there was a victory in the BTS Pro Series Season 10: Americas and a win in the DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1.

The first major ended well: the TOP-6 at ESL One Stockholm 2022 gave EG players, and then Thunder, the impetus for further development. Inside the region, the team did not really need him, because it was not difficult for the former Thunder Awaken to win DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1.

The only failed tournament of the season was PGL Arlington Major 2022. There the team took the TOP-16, but already at The International 2022 they more than overcame the former failure.

The main tournament of the year is over for former Thunder Awaken TOP-6 players. Two of the Beastcoast, Chris Luck and Wisper, also played at that tournament and took the TOP-8 there, which is also nothing, to put it mildly.

Important note - we're talking about EG players, not the tag per se. The merits of the past are, of course, important for understanding the overall picture, but successes within a specific event are much more significant.

They got to BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas Evil Geniuses by direct invitation. The club started their performance from the upper bracket of the playoffs

EG's first opponent was Wildcard, who managed to impose a fight on the first map of the two played. Then EG played against Nouns, where, after 3 exhausting maps, they advanced to the final of the upper bracket.

Heroes EG

The most preferred hero for EG is Shadow Fiend. The character appeared 9 times and won 77% of the time.

Shadow Fiend is followed by Sven (8 matches, 62% win rate), Broodmother (7 matches, 71% win rate), Primal Beast (7 matches, 71% win rate), Undying (4 matches, 75% win rate).

Form TSM

We continue to review the match with an analysis of the form of TSM. In this duel, they will be on a par with their former colleagues in the region.

The chance of TSM winning by the bookmaker is estimated by odds around 1.87. The full balance is due to virtually identical inputs for the two teams.

TSM, like EG, plunged into the reshuffle, but a little less zealously. The club remained in its native harbor, replacing two players and a coach.

Composition of TSM

Before the start of the tournament, TSM's roster remained a mystery. After the first series, we learned the names of two newcomers to the American organization, but there is a nuance.

• Timado
• Bryle
• SabeRLight-
• Ari
• MoonMeander

On paper, whitemon, who moved from T1, should play for the team. As we can see, the place of the newcomer is taken by the well-known MoonMeander, who became a TSM coach.

TSM became the triumphant DPC NA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Final, after which they took 2nd place in the second round.

At the first major of the team, the team took 2nd place. After ESL One Stockholm, TSM was rightfully called a top team, and for some time they coped with this status.

In the third round of DPC NA 2021/2022 Division 1, the team took 4th place, which was the beginning of aggravation in terms of performance. Next, TSM had a TOP-8 at Riyadh Masters 8.

On the eve of The International 2022, where TSM went through by DPC points, the team took TOP-8 at ESL One Malaysia 2022. The main tournament of the year TSM failed to smithereens: the team shared 19th-20th place, having been eliminated at the group stages.

At BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas debuted from the first round of the upper bracket of the playoffs. In the opening match of the championship, TSM outplayed 5RATFORCESTAFF, justifying their pre-match status: the series against 5RATFORCESTAFF ended with two maps of 34 and 35 minutes respectively.

The duel against Thunder Awaken became more colorful. TSM had to tinker with their counterparts, which resulted in a full b3 with a good ending for TSM.

Heroes TSM

The most favored hero for TSM in patch 7.32 was Shadow Fiend. However, in 8 matches, the character only won 37% of the time. Next comes Undying (5 games, 40% win rate), Dawnbreaker (5 matches, 20% win rate), Marci (4 games, 75% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams in the updated rosters did not play with each other. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.

Match outcome

In the finals of the bracket of winners, we would like to expect a fierce struggle from the teams. Most likely, we will see it and it will pass on 3 maps.

Anyway, my vote is for Evil Geniuses. The team will accelerate during the tournament, and the “evil geniuses” will come fully armed to the match against the main competitor at BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas.

Outcome: victory for Evil Geniuses.
