Thunder Awaken uniforms
Let's start the match analysis with Thunder Awaken's uniforms. In this match teams will play in the status of favourite.
Bookmakers are confident in the success of Thunder Awaken. The odds for their victory is at a level around 1.1.
Such a figure as if does not leave room The International Riga. In principle, it is difficult to disagree with this.
In the first season Thunder Awaken played worse than expected. Then the club took only 3 maps out of 7, which did not allow them to rise above the top 5.
However, in the case of Thunder Awaken this result is not bad. The team kept their place in the top division, which is already great.
Further, they improved their performance. In the second cycle of DPC 2023: SA Upper Division, Thunder Awaken climbed to the third line, Ledge only to the main competitors for the victory in general - beastcoast and Evil Geniuses. Basically, they are now close to repeating the result.
- Thunder Awaken roster: Knight, SLATEM$, ILICH, n1ght, Mjz .
In addition to the DPC ranking ecosystem, the team has played outside of its format, but local tournaments in the 1XPLORE LATAM series, where they won twice, but the main focus is still on the league.
At DPC 2023: SA Division 1 Tour 3 Thunder Awaken Thunder Awaken made it to the top 3, which, however, was not enough to advance to Bali Major 2023.
After the third round, DPC won 1XPLORE LATAM #4, EPL World Series: America Season 5, and Phygital Gamers 2023 Season 2.
Thunder Awaken's opening match was against Balrogs. The warm-up was successful as Thunder Awaken shut out Balrogs 2-0.
In the match to advance to the finals of The International 2023 - South America, Thunder Awaken played against Keyd Stars. Being the favourite of the encounter, Thunder lost rather unexpectedly, thus distancing themselves from the promised pre-Long Sogpeg qualifying slot for The International 2023.

Qhali Form
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of Qhali's match form. In this match Qhali is number two with a significant gap.
Bookmakers have absolutely no faith in Qhali's success. The odds for their victory are at around 6.2.
Such a figure is not surprising, as Qhali do not deserve the best. And that's in a highly competitive region, where nominal outsiders can and have beaten stronger opponents.
Qhali started the season by playing in localised and obscure events. These were the TodayPay Invitational Season 3 with a top 6 for Qhali, LATAM Rookie Challenge 4 with a similar score and EPL World Series: America Season 3 with a top 8.
Things were much better at the DPC. Qhali played in the second division in the first round, where they finished top-2 and thus qualified for the top division, but didn't stay there for long.
Qhali in the DPC Sa 2023 Tour 1:Division II finished in the top 8 and were soon out of the top division. In between the second and third rounds, they played 1XPLORE LATAM #1 where they finished eighth.
At the DPC SA 2023 Tour 3: Division II Qhali fell face first into the mud. They finished in the top 7 - and that's a cross on their continued participation in the DPC ecosystem.
- Qhali's lineup: Cucahook, Robo-Z, Hermit, MonHty, Luis.
Qhali started their appearance at The International 2023 - South America Qualifier from the bottom of the grid, where they faced Infamous in the first round. Unexpectedly, Qhali ran over a more status competitive opponent by a score of 2-0.

History of head-to-head meetings Qhali - Thunder Awaken
TA and Qhali played against each other at DPC 2023 SA Tour 2: Division 1. Thunder Awaken won their match without any problems.
The predicted result of Qhali vs Thunder Awaken match is as follows
Thunder surprised me unpleasantly in the last match. I was confident in their success against Keyd Stars, but the outcome of the match was far from favourable for TA. In this match I don't believe in the success of Underpassdogs who have already jumped above their heads. We should not expect a loud sensation in this match.
Bottom line: Thunder Awaken 2-0.
