The off-season is dragging on, and we continue to watch local online events. And again in Southeast Asia.
BTS Pro Series Season 9 kicked off today, with the bands we already know. But there will still be one very significant change in this local tournament.
This is patch 7.30e. It is not clear whether today's games will be held on the new patch, but if so, then we will have very entertaining fights.
Understanding what to expect in the confrontation between YG and MTG. Will there be a winner here and who will show a better quality DotA.
Motivate.Trust Gaming Form
The bookmaker's favorite in this match is Motivate.Trust Gaming. Not unreasonable, I dare say.
MTG, however, is a more titular and well-known team. This is a team that managed to get a slot in the top division of Asia with a rather eminent line-up.
Motivate.Trust Gaming Roster for BTS Pro Series Season 9
- JaCkky
- Fearless
- Masaros
- Q
- Setzero
We have already seen this five in practice and I think they do not need a separate introduction. Let's take a closer look at how the Thais are doing in recent matches.

The last game against YG in Asian Tigers 2 deserves special attention. There Motivate.Trust Gaming lost a map, and it was quite unprincipled. There is something to think about.

Most Selectable Motivate Heroes. Trust Gaming in patch 7.30: Lion (17 matches, 58% win), Void Spirit (15 matches, 80% win), Monkey King (12 matches, 75% win).
The most successful heroes of the patch: Batrider (4 matches, 100% win), Lycan (3 matches, 100% win), Queen of Pain (3 matches, 100% win).
Yangon Galacticos Form
The second fiddle in this fight will be played by Yangon Galacticos. I won't argue with that.
Compared to Motivate.Trust Gaming, Yangon Galacticos really looks like a "lower ranked" team. And the players here are clearly not the caliber of the same MTG.
Yangon Galacticos Roster
- Hao
- Young PH
- ZawRain
- Skill lay
- LuN
Ordinary players of high ranks, gathered in one team. Moreover, this roster does not play together for so long: carry YG Hao joined the team in August this year, Young PH and ZawRain have been playing here since January, and the captain of Skill lay and LuN have been in the team since March 2019.
The fact that they are not up to MTG in status does not prevent them from showing a very worthy Dota.
