Match Prediction: Thunder Awaken - Infinity Esports | Dota 2
BTS Pro Series 13: AmericasWe continue to analyze what is happening at BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas. The next round of the playoffs is ahead, where Thunder Awaken and Infinity will clash in the match for life in the tournament.
Both teams have done hard work within the BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas and it will be difficult to say goodbye to any of them. However, the format of the tournament and the lower bracket obliges.
Let's figure out which of the teams will be stronger and continue the race for the main prize pool of $16,000, and who is destined to say goodbye to ambitions and start preparing for DPC 2023 elsewhere.
Thunder Awaken Form
Let's start the analysis of the match with the analysis of Thunder Awaken form. The team is not in the status of a favorite, but the logic to start with them remains.
The bookmaker evaluates Thunder Awaken's chance of success with odds around 1.87. In fact, there is no favorite in this match, which is logical.
As mentioned above, both clubs have put in quite a bit of work on their way to this match and look virtually identical in terms of play. This is due to recent changes to the rosters that affected all teams in the tournament.
Thunder Awaken line-up
Throughout the tournament, talking about the Thunder Awaken roster, I could not part with a sense of ambiguity. As for me, such a five players have no future, however, the results of the team say otherwise.
- Smiling Knight
- Alone
- little boy
- Michael-
- Accel
Such a diverse five managed to wrestle with the strongest representatives of the tournament and imposed a fight, for example, on TSM and outplayed the principled Beastcoast. Yes, for an adequate assessment of the incoming few, but already something.
Thunder Awaken performance
Thunder Awaken were the TOP-1 of the region and proved it from tournament to tournament: the team won the DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1 three times and visited the tournament outside the DPC ecosystem.
The team won BTS Pro Series Season 10: Americas, got into the TOP-6 of ESL One Stockholm and ESL One Malaysia 2022. But The International 2022 became the main reason for pride.
At the main tournament of the year, Thunder Awaken reached the TOP-6 stage, which was the best result for teams from the South American region.
After The International, as you might guess from the paragraph above, there was a big reshuffle, where the team reassembled the roster. The new roster is being tested as part of the BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas.
In the group stage, BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas Thunder Awaken took 3rd place, playing with a score of 3-3-1. The team lost the only time, losing a clean sheet to Infinity, who subsequently advanced from the group in first place.
In the first match of the playoffs, Thunder Awaken became a kind of opening of the round. The team beat Beastcoast with a score of 1-2, which were nominally stronger than their counterparts.
In the match of the second round of the upper bracket, Thunder Awaken met TSM, where they managed to win the map, but lost in a hard bo3.
Heroes of Thunder Awaken
The most frequent guest in Thunder Awaken's picks is Crystal Maiden. The character appeared 15 times, while having a win rate of 60%.
In addition to CM, Dawnbreaker (11 games, 81% wins), Zeus (9 matches, 44% wins), Marci (9
matches, 33% win rate), Nyx Assassin (8 matches, 62% win rate).
Form Infinity
Opposing Thunder Awaken on the way to the next round of the lower bracket of the BTS Pro Series S13: Americas playoffs will be Infinity. On an equal footing.
The odds of Infinity winning in this match are around 1.87. Absolute equality.
The main reason why Infinity are on par with Thunder Awaken when evaluating bookies is their path through BTS Pro Series: Season 13: Americas. About him, a little later.
Infinity Esports roster
Comparing the compositions of Thunder Awaken and Infinity, the latter seems to be more promising. This feeling is reinforced by the performance of the team, which is more than acceptable within the BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas.
- Parker
- Leostyle-
- Frank
- Genek
- Prada
It is not surprising that Infinity show themselves worthy. The backbone of the team is the former Infamous, who have proven themselves during the past season.
Performance Infinity
Last season, Infinity made it to the South American First Division by winning the DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division II. Then there were TOP 12 at BTS Pro Series Season 10: Americas, 9-16 at Royal Jelly Covenant: LATAM and then TOP 6 DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1.
Before the failure at DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1, the team took TOP-6 at BTS Pro Series Season 11: Americas. Speaking of failure, it was the Top 7 at DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1 that left Infinity out of the South American First Division.
Dali had several attempts to qualify for local tournaments and then a performance in the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 13: Americas with a formatted roster.
The changes were beneficial, as the club looked very confident in the group stage. The Peruvians finished it with a score of 4-3-0, having played on cards with a score of 11-3.
Infinity's first playoff opponent was the Nouns. The North American club turned out to be stronger than their counterparts, winning with a score of 2-1. In the first round of the lower bracket, Infinity easily closed out Wildcard Gaming with a score of 2-0.
Heroes of Infinity
The most selectable Infinity characters for a couple are Templar Assassin and Crystal Maiden. Both have 3 matches and 66% of wins.
Next up are Enigma and Juggernaut. Both characters appeared in two matches and won both. Magnus, Batrider, Beastmaster were also picked twice, but managed to win 1 game each.
History of personal confrontations
Previously teams with each other in the group stage. Then Infinity celebrated a clear victory.
Match outcome
In this confrontation, my sympathies are on the side of Infinity. I believe that the team will be able to repeat the success of the group stage and outplay Thunder Awaken for the second time in the tournament. It seems that the roster of the latter is not able to adapt after the losses and having taken off from the winners bracket, the team is more on the comeback.
Outcome: victory for Infinity.

According to leading bookmakers predictions, the team Infinity Esports are the favorite with average odds 1.65 at the moment. Respectively, bookmakers consider Thunder Awaken to be the outsider of the match with odds on a victory in the sum of about 2.45.
