Blacklist International Form
The outgoing year began for Blacklist International with a 5th-6th place finish at the M. Invitational 2023, which earned the team their first $5,000 in prize money. Fourth place at the DPC SEA 2023 Tour 1: Division I provided the players with $26,000. The last tournament from BTS called BTS Pro Series Season 14: Southeast Asia ended with Blacklist in third place in the standings. As a reward, the team won $5,000. But in the second round of the DPC, the team's result slipped a bit, because there Blacklist International took fifth place. Silver at the DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division I, in addition to $28,000, allowed to go to the first major LAN-tournament for the Asian club, namely Bali Major 2023. But the 13th-14th places showed Blacklist International's unpreparedness to compete on the international stage. After that the team tried to qualify for The International 2023. But reached the final of The International 2023 - Southeast Asia Qualifier and Ledgeil Team SMG, taking the second place.
Having renewed their roster, Blacklist International went to conquer the qualifiers at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. In the first open qualifiers, the Filipinos failed to achieve the desired result, Ledge and UB Warrior. But in the second qualifier, Blacklist International reached the finals and beat Yangon Galacticos on two maps.

Team Secret uniforms
Team Secret have dropped significantly in both their season and overall level of play this year. Although a year ago Puppey and his teammates won silver at The International 2022. The DPC 2023 ranking season started for Team Secret with a disappointing eighth place at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I, where the players played with a 1-6 statistic, received $22,000 as a consolation prize and dropped to the second division. A convincing win over lesser opponents on DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II put them back into the top 8 of the region and earned them $17,000. The third round of the DPC Team Secret failed again, playing to the same score as the first round. Puppey and his team were thus relegated to the second division and had to play qualification for The International 2023. The 11th-12th place at DreamLeague Season 20 brought Team Secret $20,000. Only TS's participation in Riyadh Masters 2023 smoothed out the season financially. The tournament in Saudi Arabia brought the team $300,000 for 9th-12th place in the standings. The International 2023 - Western Europe Qualifier ended for Secret in the semi-finals of the losers' bracket. A bronze medal at BetBoom Dacha secured $25,000 in prize money for the players. Before the new season, MidOne and BOOM returned to Team Secret.

Blacklist International - Team Secret Match History
This year the participants of this match have not played against each other on the professional Dota 2 scene.
Predicted result of the match Blacklist International - Team Secret
The first game day showed that the teams are in roughly equal conditions. Let's bet on a draw in the match.
Team Secret is the 9th team of the world ranking. Unfortunately, they failed to get through the European qualifications for The International 2023, taking only 4th place. Of course, after such a performance Puppey could not leave everything as it was and the team left Armel and Fbz. They were replaced by old MidOne and their former player BOOM, despite his very controversial performance in the previous period in the organisation.
Blacklist International is the 23rd ranked team in the world rankings. After failing to qualify for The International 2023, the organisation decides to make major changes to the roster. Karl(2), kpii(3) and Kuku(5) left the team. They have been replaced by Abed, Gabbi and Carlo respectively. I think the potential of the team has increased.
So far, according to the results of the first day BI looks more promising than Secret. The odds on them are the same. Of course I want to risk a Blacklist win and it will be justified, but Secret is a late awakening team and I think they can still take the map. I'll take a draw either way.
I'm a prognosticator, that's what I do for a living. I devote all my time to it. No other interests.
I have been doing this for quite a long time and have achieved some success in it. It's up to everyone to believe me or not. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life too!
