Welcome back to EGamersWorld.
We've reached the last game of the first round of matches on the second day of the Bali Major 2023 Group Stage with a betting tee on the Tundra vs Shopify Rebellion match. This match is sure to be the focal point of The International erse in the whole parallel.
Both teams are clearly in contention for top spots at the end of the tournament as a whole and in the group stage of The Bali Major 2023 in particular. That's why you expect maximum commitment from both sides in this game.
The teams are in a fairly similar position in the Bali Major and are still in a similar situation. That's why a head-to-head encounter could outline the approximate final picture in Group A.
Let's see if there will be a winner here and if any of the teams can overtake their direct rival for a place in the top 4 of the group.
Let's go.
Tundra Esports uniforms
We open the analysis of the match with an analysis of the game form Tundra Esports. In this match, they will perform in the status of the favorite, but with reservations.
The bookmakers are careful to single out Tundra as the winner of the match. The odds for Tundra Esports to succeed in this match are estimated at odds in the region of 3.
Truth be told, the favourite in relation to this match is a rather harsh statement. In fact, we have parity and that makes sense. Both teams have shown roughly the same level of play over the course of the season, but Tundra is slightly favoured because of the team's history.
In the first round of DPC 2023, Tundra only made it into the top 4 via tiebreaker, finishing in the top 3 at the end of the season. This gave them a chance to play in The Lima Major 2023, which they failed, finishing in the top-12.
Things got better in the second DPC cycle. Tundra again had a replay and again they managed it, only this time it was a match for the top 2 division. Things also went better on the international stage, at the ESL One Berlin Major 2023, where the reigning world champions The International finished in the top 6.
DPC Tundra returned to the top of the competitive dot in the third round. The reigning world champions, The International, finished in the top 1 in their home league.
- Tundra Esports line-up: skiter, Nine, 33, Saksa, Sneyking.
Tundra attended DreamLeague Season 20, but they didn't have much zeal to win there. The team failed to qualify for the first group stage, ending up in the top 9-10.s
Tundra Esports met some pretty serious resistance in the Long Song of the tournament. The team drew with Beastcoast and then had a very tough series against Spirit.
The most popular Tundra Esports characters
Among the most popular characters in Tundra spades is Techies. The character has been picked 9 times and his win rate is 66%.
Next is Bloodseeker who was picked 8 times. The win rate is 50%. Other picks include Batrider (7 matches, 71% win rate), Doom (7 matches, 57% win rate) and Timbersaw (6 matches, 66% win rate).
Shopify Rebellion
Continuing the match review with an analysis of Shopify Rebellion's match form. In this match, they are playing as the 'number two'.
Bookmakers are giving SR odds of around 3.3 to win. As you can understand, the figure is almost identical to what we see on Team Spirit.
Again, it's not hard to see where the numbers are coming from. Just look at Shopify Rebellion's performance over the course of the year to understand the actual equality of the team.
The team has twice finished in the top 2 of the DPC domestic league, Ledge and TSM. In the third round of the DPC, Shopify Rebellion finally picked up a well-deserved top-1 DPC 2023: North America Upper Division.
Naturally, such a result can hardly be called an achievement, as the competition in the North American region is rather sparse. However, in the case of Shopify Rebellion, it's much more about playing on the international stage, where the results are much better.
At The Lima Major 2023, Shopify Rebellion made it to the top 4. Making it into the top three was prevented, unexpectedly, by Talon Esports.
In addition to the Lima Major 2023, the team was at the DreamLeague Season 19 and played even better than the Peruvian major. Cooler, because they played with a substitution (in the Abed performed inexperienced Mikey) and reached the top 3 of the tournament for 1,000,000 dollars.
Then there was The Berlin Major 2023 with a dismal top-12 and then the third round of DPC 2023: NA Division 1. The latter went better, with SR taking the top spot, guaranteeing themselves passage to The Bali Major 2023, and also actually qualifying for The International 2023.
- Shopify Rebellion: Arteezy, Abed, SaberLight, Cr1t, Fly.
At DreamLeague Season 20 SR again played with substitutes, but this time they failed to repeat the success of the DL S19 period: Shopify Rebellion failed to pass the first DL group stage and, like Liquid, left the championship early.
Shopify Rebellion played the expected game against Liquid. Secured a draw, which is already very good.
Shopify Rebellion's most popular heroes
Shopify Rebellion most often played Crystal Maiden (8 matches, 62% wins), Storm Spirit (7 matches, 57% wins), Doom (7 matches, 57% wins).
Also had Rubick (5 matches, 80% win rate), Terrorblade (4 matches, 75% win rate), Underlord (4 matches, 75% win rate).
History of head-to-head encounters
The teams have met each other three times before. Two times, during DreamLeague Season 19, Shopify Rebellion won. Last time in Berlin Major 2023, Tundra Esports were victorious.
The outcome of the match
In this match, I expect an evenly fought and upbeat Dota. I think the most likely outcome of the match is a draw.
The teams look too similar. Therefore, a draw.
Outcome: draw.
