Match Prediction: TSM - Shopify Rebellion | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We've prepared a betting tip for you on the TSM vs Shopify Rebellion matchup in DreamLeague Season 19. The American derby will take place on 20 April at 14:30 CET.

Before the match, we have analyzed the situation of the teams on the professional scene in general and DreamLeague Season 19 in particular. With all the information we have, we're now ready to tell you what to expect in the American derby, and who will come out on top.

Let's begin.

Shopify Rebellion form

We'll open our coverage with the form analysis of Shopify Rebellion that is the favorite of the given match and as it turned out, the favorite of the whole tournament. Bookmakers are giving odds of around 1.6 for SR to win.

The belief in Shopify Rebellion did not come from nothing and it is based not only on the high-profile names of the club members, but also on the quite distinct performance. Since the first round, DPC Shopify has been aiming for the world's top teams, and has so far coped extremely well with that status.

Having finished in the top 2 twice in North America, Shopify Rebellion have climbed into the top 4 of The Lima Major 2023. Furthermore, already at this DreamLeague, they are showing that the high score in Peru was no surprise.

• Shopify Rebellion line-up: Arteezy, Mikey, SaberLight, Cr1t, Fly.

The team had to make it to DreamLeague Season 19 without their star, Abed. Title mid laner SR didn't get a visa and Mikey took his place.

With every parsing of the Shopify Rebellion match, I can't help but marvel and admire the club's temporary mid laner. With what seems to be a limited pool of heroes in spades, Mikey manages to play on equal terms with the best of competitive Dota, and he's not a TIR-1 player after all.

Maybe one day he will have a similar story to SumaiL, but for now, it's DL S19, where Shopify Rebellion is in Top 3 with 3-2 stats and a game in hand against Beastcoast at the end of 4 days.

Shopify Rebellion's most popular characters on DreamLeague S19

Shopify Rebellion's most chosen character remains Enchantress (6 matches, 83% win rate). Favorite characters include Lycan (4 matches, 75% wins), Doom (4 matches, 50% wins), Invoker (4 matches, 50% wins).

Puck and Beastmaster (3 matches each, 100% wins) are among the frequently chosen and successful ones. Undying, Snapfire, Shadow Demon, Phantom Assassin (3 games, 66% wins).

Ready to believe in Arteezy and company before a crucial match - bet on SR's victory at odds 1.6.

TSM's form

We continue the match review with a breakdown of TSM's playing form. The North American champions will be in underdog status in this game with odds of winning around 2.3.

Such a figure did not come out of thin air. TSM are indeed banking on such a figure, and what separates them from an even bigger gap is the presence of Shopify Rebellion's replacement.

Despite two North American titles and a first-round DreamLeague Season 19 passage, TSM remain a very mediocre team on the international stage. We saw their struggles at The Lima Major 2023, and at the current DreamLeague TSM managed to reach the second stage through round-robin bo1 replay.

• TSM's line-up: Timado, Bryle, Kasane, Ari, Whitemon .

Whitemon returned after a short break, during which he was replaced by MoonMeander. It didn't make much difference to the result as TSM as of the 5th day of games remain the last team of the tour with the statistics 1-4 and it's a bit late for me as the match against Team Liquid is ahead.

Most popular TSM heroes

Rubick (7 matches, 57% win rate) appeared in TSM picks the most times. Beastmaster (6 games, 50% wins), Disruptor (6 games, 33% wins), Lycan (5 games, 60% wins), Enchantress (5 times, 40% wins) were often taken.

If you're ready to believe in the power of TSM and see them outplay Shopify Rebellion like they once did at DPC 2023, bet on them to win at odds of 2.3

Before we make our choice, we would like to take a look at the history of their head-to-head encounters.

History of TSM vs Shopify Rebellion

In the 2023 season, Shopify Rebellion has never beaten TSM. They have lost twice (at DPC) and played out the last time in a draw.

Predicted result of the TSM - Shopify Rebellion matchup

Logically, TSM have every chance of winning purely on pre-match metrics. It can be seen that for Shopify Rebellion this is an uncomfortable opponent, however, we need to consider the current state of affairs.

And it is as follows: TSM is the worst second-stage team and will not be able to outplay Shopify Rebellion. The main thing is not to give up Morphling for Timado and Dragon Knight for Bryle, and then it will be all over.

Bottom line: victory for Shopify Rebellion.
