Match Prediction: Hokori - BetBoom Team | Dota 2

We are again following what is happening in Singapore. The group stage of The International 2022 is gaining momentum. On our screens are the matches of the second gaming day.

The focus is not the most obvious match. BB meets Hokori in the bo2 series.

It may seem that the game is not worth the candle and such a match is not a pity to miss, but I have other thoughts about this. Just such a match worth watching.

We figure out what to expect from this fight and who in the end will be able to earn important points for themselves.

BB Team Uniform

BB Team will play as a favorite in this match. The chance of their victory is estimated by the bookmaker with odds around 2.4.

For me, such faith in the BB Team is a mystery. I can explain it, but I don't want to agree with it.

Before the start of The International 2022, BB Team showed promise, and the main milestone of the season was the performance at ESL One Stockholm 2022, where the team entered the TOP-8. Then there were “successes” in the home league and at small commercial events with qualifications for The International.

At The International itself, the team, to put it mildly, performs poorly. Only in the first 2 games they gave away 4 cards.

BB Team

• Daxak
• Larl
• Noticed
• RodjER
• SoNNeikO

The last change in the roster took place in August of this year, already after ESL One Stockholm 2022. The star RodjER joined the team, who eventually got another chance to play on the largest stage in the world.

Heroes BB Team

Most Picked Hero - Visage for Daxak (9 matches, 77% win rate).

They honor BB Team Queen of Pain (8 matches, 62% wins), Enchantress (6 matches, 83% wins), Phoenix (5 matches, 60% wins), Dawnbreaker (4 matches, 100% wins) and Enigma (4 matches, 100% wins). Also used Beastmaster with Vengefull Spirit (4 games each and perfect win rate).

At The International 2022, the BB Team came up with a newspeak - pick Beastmaster to a carry position. Didn't have any success.

Hokori shape

Hokori will play as an outsider in this match. The club's chance of winning is estimated at around 5.

I easily agree with the opinion that Hokori act as an outsider. They have nothing to brag about during the season and now they need to gain confidence in themselves.

According to the results of the first day, even without taking into account all the results, they have already succeeded. Taking the map away from PSG.LGD is already an indicator. In addition, they took points from BOOM, which is worthy of respect, although not as much as with PSG.LGD.

Composition of Hokori

• Lumiere
• 4nalog
• Vitaly
• Thiolicor
• Gardick

Now the team looks like a single entity and it captivates. The budding Lumiere can be mentioned separately, but without teammates it will not be possible to drag, this is obvious.

Heroes Hokori

In patch 7.32 Hokori play on: Tusk (12 matches, 66% wins), Undying (11 matches, 81% wins), Marci (11 matches, 81% wins), Omniknight (10 matches, 70% wins), Death Prophet (10 matches, 60% win rate), Puck (10 matches, 60% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

The teams have not met in official games before. The teams will play for the first time in the group stage of The International 2022.

Match outcome

From this duel, I expect a bright game with possible coups and moderate stupidity. The teams are worth each other, but Hokori is more trustworthy.

They play methodally without reinventing the wheel, unlike BetBoom. Their venture with hypercarry Larl does not bear fruit, and there is a strong feeling that this is all that BB came to The International with.

I'll play a save - I'll believe in one card from Hokori, but I'll heat up for 2-0 in favor of the Peruvians.

Result: +1.5 on Hokori.
