Match Prediction: Team Spirit - Team Aster | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The main event of the DPC 2023 summer season is about to begin. The Bali Major 2023 is getting ready for the Long Camp and will open its doors to 18 top teams from around the world on June 29 and will offer the opportunity to see the top teams in action. We are getting ready for the Long Cognegg fixtures and will be bringing you the betting tip for Team Aster - Team Spirit.

The teams will open their Group A clash in a head-to-head encounter. The game is one of the 4 fixtures in the first leg of Group A and could be the focal point of the tour.

Both teams have not had the most productive season, and therefore the Bali Major 2023 is an extremely important event for both clubs. We will try to see how this match will end, whether there will be a winner in this boo2 and how the first meeting in Group A at Bali Major 2023 will end.

Let's go.

Team Spirit Form

Let's start the match review with an analysis of Team Spirit's form. In this match, the Dragons stand out as the favourite, the number one.

Bookmakers confirm the teams' pre-match standing. The odds on Team Spirit's success in this match are estimated at around 2.7.

A figure like that is a logical indicator. We should not forget that we are facing a bo2, so the odds here will be in about this range. 2.7 for bo2 is an indicator of advantage, but we shouldn't call Spirit the winners. They are in favour, but minimal, and all because of a very mediocre performance during the season.

In the first round of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1, Spirit finished 2nd. The Dragons were then prevented from winning by BB Team, who finished the tournament in first place at 7-0. After a home league appearance, Team Spirit attended The Lima Major 2023 where they finished in the top 8.

Later, the Spirit played the second round of their home league and again finished in the top-2. Going to The Berlin Major 2023 expected to improve the result of the previous Major, however, in the end, things only got worse: already in the top-12.

Despite "sluggish" international play, the Spirit still steadily make it through the Major groups and look like the main contender to win every game at home. That was the case in the third season of DPC 2023.

Spirit finished the final Eastern European cycle in first place. It took 3 tries to get the title in Eastern Europe.

• The composition of Team Spirit: Yatoro, Larl, Collapse, Mira, Miposhka .

The last tournament before DreamLeague Season 20 was DreamLeague S20 for the Dragons. There, the Eastern European representatives finished in the top 5, which is a very good indicator, considering the above-mentioned results for the year.

The most popular Team Spirit characters

Crystal Maiden tops the list of Team Spirit's most picked characters. The character has appeared in spades six times and has an 83% win rate.

In addition to Crystal Maiden, Disruptor and Underlord are also favored, appearing in spades 5 times each with an 80% win rate. There was also Skywrath Mage (4 matches, 100% wins), Doom (4 matches, 75% wins), PL, Viper, Slark, Riki appeared 3 times each and has 100% wins.

Team Aster uniforms

We continue our analysis of the Bali Major 2023 group stage match with a breakdown of Team Aster's playing form. In this match, they will play in the status of second catch-up.

The bookmakers confirm the pre-match position. Aster are number two and the odds on them winning this match are around 4.9.

The figure is easy to understand, although you don't necessarily have to agree with it. I'd say this matchup is more of a parity match than the other way around. Aster are similar to Team Spirit and play at about the same level.

In the first round of DPC 2023, Team Aster "gave away" the regional lead, Ledgeiv on the PSG.LGD. Following a top-2 at DPC 2023: China Upper Division, Team Aster went to Peru, where they played an "average" game, with Monet and company finishing in the top-8.

In the second round of DPC 2023: China Upper Division Team Aster finished in the Top 4, which was already noticeably worse than last time. However, it was enough to qualify for the Berlin Major 2023. At the Berlin tournament, SumaiL, the club's current star, made his debut for Aster. Truth be told, the debut was not the most successful (Top 8), but as a test for the new mid-laner - fine.

Before that, Aster played at DreamLeague S19. In DreamLeague S19, Aster were in the top 9-10. Then, after some frustrating tiebreaks, they failed to make it out of the group.

After that was DPC 2023: China Tour 3. The home league ended in third place for Aster, which can hardly be called a successful result.

• Team Aster line-up: Monet, SumaiL, Xxs, BoBoKa, Siamese C.

Like Spirit, Team Aster played on DreamLeague Season 20. Like Spirit, they had a very mediocre, but not terrible result.

Aster finished in the top 8 at DreamLeague Season 20. The team reached the second group stage and seemed to have stopped playing. As a result: 0 wins in 7 matches, and also the first early exit from the tournament.

The most popular Aster heroes

Rubick was the most frequent pick, with 6 matches, 50% of the wins. Keeper of The Light and Storm Spirit were also in spades (5 matches, 80% wins).

There was Monkey King, Underlord, Terrorblade, Pugna (4 matches, 75% wins each).

History of Aster - Spirit head-to-head encounters

Aster and Spirit have managed to play each other in the 2023 season. The teams have crossed paths twice on the international stage and are now at parity: Aster won at the Berlin Major 2023 and Spirit won at DreamLeague S20.

Match Outcome

In this match I do not expect one side to win. In my opinion, the teams will opt for a draw, which is indicated by many things: Aster and Spirit have played very tightly this season, but in the Major they know how to pull themselves together, especially in the group stage. If I have to name a winner, I would rather believe in Aster's success, but in b2 roulette it is not necessary to draw the final conclusions.

Bottom line: a draw.
