Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Back to BB Dacha, where the play-offs were supposed to be played today, but there will be replay matches. Tiebreaks will be played in Group B,
9 Pandas and Beastcoast will clash in the extra match. It should be noted that both teams will definitely play in the play-offs, but we are yet to find out with what seeding.
The match promises to be a hot one, if only because of the format. The re-matches are played under the bo1 system.
We are trying to figure out which of the teams will be stronger and earn a more favourable play-offs, and who will have to play in the main stage starting their way to the cup from the bottom of the grid.
Let's go.
Form 9 Pandas
We open our match analysis with an analysis of Pandas Form 9. In this match the team will play as favourites.
Bookmakers still believe in the success of 9 Pandas. The odds for their victory is at around 1.6.
Taking into account the format of the match, which is bo1, we can say that the advantage of 9 Pandas is minimal. In fact, I expect a close match with equal play on both sides.
9 Pandas started the year in third place in DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Tour 1. However, at the first international tournament of the year - The Lima Major 2023 - while still under the banners of HellRaisers, playing with Stand-ip, they managed to get out of the group. \
In the second season of DPC, 9Pandas made it to the top 1, beating all direct competitors, namely Team Spirit and BB Team. In addition, 9Pandas surprised everyone at The Berlin Major 2023. In Germany, the Pandas made it to the Top 3, which was the best result for the region in a year.
The third DPC cycle of 9Pandas ended with qualification to the last Major of the season - The Bali Major 2023 - with a third-place finish in the home league. Next up was the DreamLeague S20
- 9Pandas roster: RAMZES, kiyotaka, MieRo, Antares, Solo .
All year long the team has been gaining in performance and this applies primarily to the international scene. At DreamLeague S20 it was top 7, and at Bali Major 2023 it was top 6.
Before BB Dacha 9 Pandas made their mark with a performance at the Riyadh Masters 2023. There, the team finished in the Top 6, Ledgeiv in a match to advance to the Talon Esports Top 4.
At BB Dacha 9, Pandas made their debut with a game against Gaimin Gladiators. The best team in the world proved to be a few goals above the Pandas and closed out the series in less than an hour.
In the previous match, 9 Pandas played against the worst team of their group, Nigma Galaxy. "Pandas" won, but with great difficulty and it was especially difficult on the first map, where 9 Pandas had to comeback from a solid deficit.
In the last match of the regular schedule 9 Pandas played against Beastcoast. That match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The most popular 9 Pandas characters
The most popular 9 Pandas character is Skywrath Mage. He has appeared in Pandas games 6 times and has 3 wins.
Following him are Bounty Hunter (4 matches, 50% wins), Tiny (3 matches, 66% wins), Bloodseeker (3 matches, 33% wins). Also glimpsed in the pool are Chen and Doom (2 matches each, 100% wins), and Enchantress (2 matches, 50% wins).
Beastcoast Form
We continue the match analysis with an analysis of Beastcoast's form. In this match the Peruvians are predicted to play the second number.
Bookmakers are not ready to believe in BC. The odds for their victory are at around 2.1.
Again, such a figure indicates a minimal advantage. It's all credit to the image, which 9 Pandas has for the year is higher than BC's.
The team won the inaugural season of the DPC league at home, finishing top-1 with zero losses. The Lima Major 2023 ended with bc in the top 12, and they were prevented from entering the next DPC cycle by their regional counterparts Evil Geniuses.
Later beastcoast played at DPC 2023 SA Tour 2 Division 1, where the result was identical: 7-0 in the regular season and a pass to ESL One Berlin Major 2023. The international stage for beastcoast is not this season - Berlin ended for them in the top 14, even worse than The Lima Major 2023.
In between was DreamLeague S19, where bc played so-so, but better than at Major ahs. The team finished top 6 there and that's the best score for them so far on The International ernational stage.
In the third round of DPC 2023: SA Division 1 beastcoast were already in the top 2. EG have fully climbed to the first place of the domestic league.
- Beastcoast line-up: Parker, DarkMago, Sacred, Scofield, Stinger .
After the end of the regular season in South America Beastcoast visited the last Major of the season - Bali Major 2023. There Peruvians took the top 8 and guaranteed their place at The International 2023.
Before BB Dacha BC had time to play at Riyadh Masters 2023, where they showed not the best performance. The Peruvians failed miserably in the biggest commercial tournament of the season, finishing in the top 20 after losing to a tired TSM.
In the first match at BB Dacha Beastcoast played against Nigma Galaxy. Overall, it was easy and the Peruvians closed with a 2-0 lead, but Nigma pulled away in the second, for which they are of course a plus.
In the match before that, Beastcoast played against Gaimin Gladiators. Everything ended rather predictably - 2-0 in favour of GG - although before the match it seemed that BC could fight and clinch at least a map.
In the last match of the group stage Beastcoast played with 9 Pandas. That game ended with a score of 1-1.

Beastcoast has Tusk and Snapfire as their most favoured characters. Both characters have appeared in the Peruvian Club peak 6 times, with Tusk having a 66% winrate and Snapfire having a 33% winrate.
Enchantress (5 matches, 60% win rate) and Tiny (5 matches, 40% win rate) have appeared in the picks. In addition, Terrorblade (4 matches, 100% wins), Pangolier (4 matches, 75% wins), and Batrider (4 matches, 50% winrate) appear.
History of head-to-head matches
During the season the teams have played each other 4 times. Three times 9 Pandas won, and the last series, directly at BB Dacha, ended in a draw.
Predicted result for 9 Pandas vs Beastcoast
I expect a very close game from this matchup. Both teams showed what they are capable of during BB Dacha and both clubs deserve a slot in the top play-offs.
In my opinion, Bo1 is a more acceptable format for Beastcoast. I believe in their victory.
Bottom line: Beastcoast win.
