How the bookies view it: Team Falcons favorite
Most bookmakers consider Team Falcons the favorites in the match against BB Team at BLAST Slam IV. The team recently became the champions of The International 2025 and earned podium finishes at several other top-tier tournaments this season.
Team Falcons form
Our Dota 2 betting prediction begins with an analysis of Team Falcons form. The team was formed in 2023 and almost immediately began competing at the highest level.
Thanks to significant investments and a star-studded roster, the team quickly started showing strong results.
Team Falcons roster: skiter, Malr1ne, ATF, Cr1t, Sneyking.
When assembling the roster, the team followed the “golden five” principle. The organization managed to sign two players from Tundra Esports, as well as prize winners and champions of The International.
In the MENA region, where Falcons are based, this roster has no competition even at the individual skill level. It is therefore not surprising that Falcons easily secure tournament slots by winning regional qualifiers.
At the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 MENA Closed Qualifier, they defeated PSG Quest 3-1 in the final. What the other teams are doing in the MENA region is unclear, but let it be.
Falcons looked very confident at the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show, which is not surprising. They had already secured a playoff spot, finishing first in Group B, without dropping a single map in three matches.
Falcons began their playoff run at the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show with a first-round match against Level Up. An easy win brought them to The Dudley Boys, where Falcons suffered their first and only loss of the tournament. However, in the grand final, they took revenge on The Dudley Boys.
By the end of the Pinnacle: 25 Year Anniversary Show, Falcons finished in first place and earned $50,000. The triumph at this local championship was Falcons’ first victory in the discipline—but not their last.
After Pinnacle, Falcons placed in the TOP-6 at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, and then they began to dominate. In 2024, they won three qualifiers: BB Dacha, DreamLeague Season 22, and ESL One Birmingham in their MENA region.
Immediately before participating in DL Season 22, Falcons became BB Dacha champions, earning $400,000.
Then Falcons competed at DreamLeague Season 22. They showed the highest level of play and claimed another trophy, defeating BB in the grand final 3-0. They also reached the Elite League final but could not win there: Xtreme Gaming proved stronger and won 3-1.
At ESL One Birmingham 2024, Falcons topped Group A in the group stage. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they lost to Tundra 1-2. In the lower bracket, Falcons made a comeback against Team Liquid after losing the first map. Later, the Saudi Arabian club managed to win the tournament, defeating BB Team in the grand final.
Falcons then continued their winning streak: they won DreamLeague Season 23 and FISSURE Universe: Ep. 3, but “failed” at The International 2024, finishing in the TOP-4. At the same time, they became one of the few top teams to retain their roster after The International 2024.
In the first group stage of DreamLeague Season 24, they advanced confidently, becoming the best team in Group B with a 5-2-0 record. But the second part of the group stage was much more difficult: as of the penultimate game day, November 6, their score was 3-2, which did not guarantee a playoff spot. However, they advanced, and there again Falcons’ classic performance happened: a path to the grand final and a 3-1 victory over BB Team.
The group stage of BLAST Slam I went poorly: 2-2. But based on personal match results in Group A, they took the TOP-4, which allowed them to reach the first round of playoffs. After winning the opening match of the main stage against OG, they lost in the next round and finished the tournament in the TOP-8.
The 2025 season for Falcons was somewhat weaker than the previous one, but the team still demonstrated a stable level of play. The team placed 2nd at Fissure Playground and 3rd-4th at BLAST Slam II.
At DreamLeague Season 25, Falcons finished the first group stage with a 4-2-1 record. In Group Stage 2, the team performed slightly worse with a 3-4 record, finishing 5th in the tournament.
At PGL Wallachia Season 3, Team Falcons performed at the expected level, finishing in 2nd place.
After a small mid-season slump, the team returned to the top and pleased fans with strong performances at BLAST Slam III and Esports World Cup 2025, where they finished 2nd, and won FISSURE Universe: Episode 6.
At The International 2025, Team Falcons are playing very well. The team finished the Group Stage with a 3-2 record, and in the Elimination Stage, they defeated Team Spirit 2-0, further improving their form. In the playoffs, the team had no equals and advanced through the upper bracket all the way to the tournament championship.

After a solid group stage at The Bali Major 2023 with a result of 4-2-2 from BB, the Eastern European representatives advanced to the upper bracket of the playoffs.

At ESL Kuala Lumpur 2023, BB played the group stage evenly, drawing all matches. This allowed them to advance to the playoffs, where BB looked much better than in the group: 2-0 against Tundra Esports and 2-0 against G2.IG. However, then BB Team met Team Liquid and finished in TOP-4.
In the 2024 season, BB Team played much better. The team participated at DreamLeague Season 22, where they took first place in their group. They defeated GG and drew with VP.

Despite two draws on the third day, this did not prevent them from advancing to the second group stage of the tournament.

At DreamLeague Season 23, BB Team barely passed the group stage, reaching the lower bracket of the playoffs. However, after a poor start, they managed to rehabilitate themselves during the playoffs and took TOP-3.
The main tournament of the season was TI 2024, where BB managed to reach TOP-8, but Falcons intervened.
BB showed a good game at DreamLeague Season 24, where they managed to take TOP-2 but lost again in the final against Falcons. Luck smiled at BLAST Slam 1, where BB took TOP-1. After that, they played at ESL One Bangkok 2024, where they finished in TOP-3.
The 2025 season for BB Team is shaping up to be mediocre. They started with TOP-6 at Fissure Playground, and then TOP-8 at BLAST Slam II. At DreamLeague Season 25, BB Team took 6th place.
