Match Prediction: Execration - BOOM | Dota 2
The International 2023 - Southeast Asia QualifierWelcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to look at what's happening at The International 2023. We're talking about the quarter-finals of the tournament for the only slot at the main tournament of the year, which will be held in October 2023 in the city of Seattle.
There are 6 teams left in the fight for a single spot at The International 2023. Already after this match there will be 4 participants.
BOOM and Execration will play their match for life. The match promises to be quite hot, because not the last clubs from Southeast Asia are playing.
Both BOOM and Execration are well known for their regional performances in Asia. However, by The International 2023 - SEA Qualifiers, the teams were in different statuses: if nothing was expected from BOOM, which had fallen, Execration looked like the first contender for The International 2023 with the lead in the number of DPC points before the Long Sogpeg of the tournament.
Now the teams will compete for a chance to stay in the race. The winner of the match will advance to the next round, where they will face the winner of the Bleed/Geek Slate pairing. The loser leaves the tournament. Let's see who goes where.
Let's go.
Form Execration
We start the match analysis by analysing Execration's form. In this match, the team plays the first number one.
Bookmakers are confident in the success of Execration. The odds for their victory are at around 1.7.
The fall of Execration to the bottom of the net has significantly affected the pre-match situation. In fact, we are facing a parity situation with two equal teams in the match.
In the first round of DPC 2023: SEA Upper Division Execration took the first place in the home league. The team played 7 matches and won 6 of them. This gave Execration the opportunity to qualify for the first Major of the season - The Lima Major 2023, which, however, ended badly for them. In Lima, the top 1 team from their region finished in the top 16.
Later, they finished second place at the DPC 2023: SEA Upper Division and again made it to the Major. Then Execration "repeated" the success of Lima and finished in TOP-16 at The Berlin Major 2023.
The team also tried to play at DreamLeague Season 19 and partially succeeded: in the 19th DL season the team finished in the top 10.
- Execration roster: Palos, Bob, Tinom Shanks, Carlo .
The third DPC tour Execration finished on the mark of top-3 and again went to the Major . And again they had nothing to do there, because in the group the team played 5 matches in the draw and 3 lost, which did not allow them to enter the play-offs. In general - TOP-16.
Before the qualifiers for The International was the performance at the biggest commercial event of the year - Riyadh Masters 2023. In Riyadh, the team "surpassed" the indicators of their own international results - this time it all ended at the TOP-20.
In the first match, Execration played against Neon Esports. The match ended 2-0 in favour of Execration, in fairness to Neon they pulled to 38 and 40 minutes on the first and second map respectively.
In the match for the top grid final, Execration played against Team SMG. Quite unexpectedly, Execration lost their game, although with a score of 1-2.
Execration's most popular heroes
The most popular hero for Execration was Tiny (10 matches, 50% wins).
Mirana (6 matches, 83% wins), Visage (6 matches, 83% wins), Beastmaster (6 games, 50% wins), Batrider (6 matches, 33% wins) were also picked up.
Form BOOM
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of BOOM's form. In this match the team is playing as the second number.
Bookmakers are not ready to believe in the superiority of BOOM, but they are not in a hurry to bury the famous club. The odds for BOOM's victory are at around 2.
Again, before the tournament's Long Round, I would not have believed in BOOM's ability to compete with Execration on equal terms. But that will truly be the case in this match.
BOOM has had a season full of ups and downs, but the latter has been decidedly more so. 2023 began with a second place finish at the M. Invitational 2023, where BOOM Ledgeили Bleed Esports in the grand finals.
Next up was an appearance at the DPC SEA 2023 Tour 1: Division 1, where things were clearly not going their way. At the end of the first season, DPC BOOM finished in 7th place in the league, going 2-5.
After dropping to the second division, BOOM played at the local BTS Pro Series Season 14: Southeast Asia. There, by the way, also did not go, and the result was TOP-6.
After two failures came better times: BOOM won The Arena Anthem, and then became the TOP-1 team of the second division at DPC SEA 2023 Tour 2: Division II. However, BOOM didn't last long: DPC SEA 2023 Tour 3: Division 1 ended with BOOM in 7th place.
- BOOM roster: Natsumi, Yopaj, Ws, BoBoKa, xNova.
BOOM started the regional qualifiers for The International 2023 with a 0-2 loss against Bleed Esports. The problems were not over in the lower nets.
In their first lower grid match, BOOM defeated Myth Avenue Gaming, but with problems. The match ended with a score of 2-1.
Next up, Army Geniuses. Again a validol game and again 2-1 in favour of BOOM.
BOOM's most popular heroes
The most popular heroes are Mars (9 games, 77% wins), Chen (8 games, 87% wins), Batrider (7 games, 85% wins), Kunkka (7 games, 57% wins), Dark Willow (6 games, 100% wins).
Earthshaker (5 matches, 80% wins), QoP (4 matches, 100% wins) are also in the peak.
BOOM - Execration head-to-head history
BOOM and Execration have played each other twice in the 2023 season. Both matches ended in favour of Execration with scores of 2-0 and 2-1 respectively.
The predicted result of BOOM - Execration match at The International 2023 - SEA Qualifiers.
Considering the problems BOOM are having in the lower set, BOOM's victory is hard to believe. At the same time, Execration didn't shine in the top set of qualifiers either, but the sample is too small - basically the only bo3 with SMG.
I think Execration will win, but with problems. I'm looking forward to a full-fledged bo3.
Bottom line: Execration wins.
Bookmakers & Statistics
Now, the majority of bookmaker companies believe in Execration victory. Odds on them are equal to 1.551. According to bookmakers data, BOOM are the outsider and odds on their victory amounts 3.679.
