Before The International 10, the Dota 2 competitive space is experiencing maximum lull. Yes, there are tournaments like D2CL, BTS Pro Series and so on.
One of these tournaments is OB. Moon Asian Arena. It is very, very risky to bet on such events, since sometimes it is impossible to predict the result of matches.
As a test, let's try to understand the match and bet on it. I hope that the teams will not be surprised, and then you can think about further prospects for this tournament.
Boom shape
In our case, BOOM will be the favorite. Unconditionally, completely and completely.
Actually, it's a little offensive for BOOM. This is a very peculiar and interesting team from Southeast Asia, which could claim a bright future.
They fought in the top DPC division for two seasons, and played in local tournaments in the meantime. BOOM also made it to the TOP 3 qualifiers at TI, but failed there.
Now BOOM has been recruited into the skem team, which surprised us in the Singapore Major. As for me, this is an increase.
BOOM Recent Results
- Defeat Yangon Galacticos 2-0
- Defeat Motivate.Trust Gaming 2-0
- Draw in the match against OB Esports x Neon 1-1
- Defeat Galaxy Racer 2-0
- Draw against Dream Maker 1-1
As we can see, BOOM feels very confident in the TIR-2/3 environment. Let's see what will happen in the debut match at OB.Moon Asian Arena.
BOOM Heroes
Most played BOOM heroes in patch 7.30: Mars (4 matches, 75% win), Pangolier (4 matches, 75% win), Gyrocopter (3 matches, 100% win).
The most successful BOOM heroes in patch 7.30: Gyrocopter, Invoker, Io and Bloodseeker have 3 appearances and 100% wins.
Lilgun shape
The guys from Lilgun will come up as an outsider for the match. It is, as it were, understandable.
Yet Lilgun is far from recognizable and famous as BOOM. And in terms of effectiveness too.
The Raccoons managed to break through the SEA lower division in the first DPC season, but already in the second season, they naturally and unprincipledly failed the upper division. There were also appearances at various local tournaments, and they even managed to win one.
True, it was MESA Pro Series Finals 2021 and hardly anyone has heard of this. The only thing that worries me is the Lilgun statistics during OB.Moon Asian Arena.
They are currently ranked # 1 in the group and have a 5-2-0 record. Yes, those same BOOMs did not enter the battle, but such a sharp transformation of the "raccoons" is somehow very alarming.
Lilgun Recent Results
- Draw against OB Esports x Neon 1-1
- Defeat Invictus Gaming Vitality 2-0
- Defeat MY 2-0
- Defeat ARAR 2-1
- Defeat Team SMG 2-0
Not bad for a TIR-3 team. Well, let's see how things will be in the match against BOOM.
Lilgun Heroes
Most played Lilgun heroes in patch 7.30: Bane (9 matches, 88% win), Tiny (8 matches, 100% win), Monkey King (8 matches, 62% win).
Most successful Lilgun heroes in patch 7.30: Tiny (8 matches, 100% win). Sven (5 matches, 100% wins).
Personal meeting history
The teams played twice in 2021. BOOM defeated twice with a score of 2-0.
The outcome of the fight
Let's go back to the preview of the forecast and repeat: betting on OB.Moon Asian Arena is a very risky thing. In an amicable way, BOOM should move, but the devil knows what to expect, since Lilgun's performance at OB.Moon Asian Arena is very, very even.
Nevertheless, I will believe in logic and bet on BOOM with a score of 2-0. I do not deny that in the near future I will regret it, but that is, that is.
Outcome: BOOM wins.
