A much less well-known team from Peru, spent the season with varying degrees of success. In the first season of DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division I, the team earned 6th place, which allowed them to stay in the division, the second stage of DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division I went even better and brought the team a bronze medal. At the last stage of DPC SA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I, the team earned the last place. However, the team rehabilitated itself well at the last qualifiers of The International 2022: South America Qualifier, defeating Infamous in the final, Hokori players chose the right to participate in the main event of the entire discipline of The International 2022.

Match prediction

Probably the most interesting game of the day. On the one hand, the favorites of the BOOM Esports group, who confidently defeat their opponents, and so far go undefeated. On the other hand, only Hokori, who broke into the tournament, watched the opponents' matches with fresh energy, and they know what to be prepared for. Separately, I would like to note that, as I wrote above, both teams have not previously collided with each other, and therefore the advantage is now with Hokori. In addition, both teams have already qualified for the upcoming THe International 2022, which means that both of them are quite strong. It is difficult to determine the winner, since the format is bo2, a draw is very likely. I'm only sure that BOOM will take one card.

Result: Handicap + 1.5 on BOOM Esports

Now, the majority of bookmaker companies believe in BOOM victory. Odds on them are equal to 1.816. According to bookmakers data, Hokori are the outsider and odds on their victory amounts 7.575.

What the team performance statistics say
