Match Prediction: Thunder Awaken - BetBoom Team | Dota 2
ESL One Stockholm 2022 MajorThe second match of the first round of the playoffs at ESL One Stockholm 2022. The duel between BB Team and Thunder Awaken.
To be honest, I did not expect to see both of these clubs in the upper bracket of the playoffs. Their face-to-face confrontation seems even more surprising, however, personal feelings do not play any role here - the teams showed a decent game in groups, and therefore deservedly play at the top of the bracket.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this match and go to the next round.
Form BetBoom Team
BB Team will play as a favorite in this match. The chance of success for a team from Eastern Europe is estimated at a coefficient of around 1.8.
In fact, we have two equal teams, which is what the score of 1.8 describes. In the case of the BB Team, it looks quite justified, because for the majority of the players in the arena, the performance in the arena will be their debut in their careers, and whatever one may say, the audience influences the level of performance.

A young and not battle-hardened roster does not prevent BB Team from taking 3rd place in a group with such mastodons as the same Tundra, EG or BOOM.

In BB games, we saw a lot of marriage, but with the peak of signature characters like Natures Prophet, Visage and Mars, it is reduced to the minimum values.
Heroes BB Team
In patch 7.31 BB's most picked were: Io (6 matches, 83% win), Pango (6 games, 83% win), Grimstroke (6 matches, 66% win), Visage (5 matches, 80% win).
Most successful BB heroes in patch 7.31: Chaos Knight (3 matches, 100% win rate), Death Prophet (2 matches, 100% win rate).
Thunder Awaken Form
In the status of catching up in this match, the Thunder Awaken club will perform. The coefficient for the success of the South American team in the regions is 1.9.
The status of an outsider is very conditional, since a one-tenth difference is not a difference at all. Thunder Awaken is a South American factor in the big tournaments that leak out every now and then, which happened this time.

I expect a quick game in this match. According to my feelings, the game will end on two maps, but I will not risk betting on a clear victory for one of the teams.

BB Team today lost to OG 0:2, on the first one with Mars, Visage, Puck, Shadow Shaman, Skywrath Mage; on the second with Mars, Nature`s Prophet, Pangolier, Ancient Apparation, Shadow Shaman.
Thunder Awaken got in very, very good shape, in the last match they beat Team Spirit, with Specter, Chaos Knight, Abaddon, Snapfire, Tiny.
BB Team has questions about Larl in the mid, maybe he was worried against OG, but Thunder Awaken has a weak offlaner, if the start doesn’t go, he might ruin it. There are no questions about carry and midlaner.

Everything is very ambiguous in this match, I wonder what Thunder Awaken will oppose to BB Team with their signature heroes: Mars, Chaos Knight, Nature`s Prophet, Pangolier, there is also Chen/Enchantress, who should not be forgotten.
Bookmakers give odds of 2.085 on Thunder Awaken and 1.778 on BB Team. TB 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.94; on TM 2.5 on cards - 1.82.
At 2:0 from Thunder Awaken - odds 3.8
At 2:1 from Thunder Awaken - odds 3.82
At 0:2 from BB Team - coefficient 3.1
At 1:2 from BB Team - odds 3.48
I would risk and lean towards Thunder Awaken for 2.085, but there should be 3 cards, respectively 2:1 from them for 3.82.
Prediction: Thunder Awaken will outplay BB Team - odds 2.085; with a risk of 2:1 - coefficient 3.82
Thunder Awaken has great chances to win today, in fact, the team has not lost for six matches already, and in replays they showed themselves just perfectly, they won absolutely all matches in the difficult best of 2 format. Thunder Awaken play beautifully, they are not shy about taking their non-standard heroes play aggressively and tastefully. I have already said that beastcoast could have been in their place, but those guys have already played their part and do not surprise opponents with anything. Thunder Awaken are flexible, hard to corner them at any stage of the game, they are ready to win back a big advantage and win tough matches, they can easily outplay the BetBoom team today.
BetBoom played their last match terribly, they fell off OG, although they could easily win the first map, but they died without buyouts and the game was given. Such mistakes are not forgiven at the Major, yes, they had a great game in the DPC season in the CIS region, they started this tournament well, but problems appear at a distance and this is an absolute fact. In this matchup, a lot will depend on the chosen heroes, if one of the teams can impose their game from this stage, then it will have a better chance of success. I sincerely recommend betting on this match also live, it will be very interesting. Before the meeting, I will bet on the Thunder Awaken team, they impress me more!
Thunder Awaken will win this match.
