Match forudsigelse: Team Spirit - Shopify Rebellion | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

Group A at The Bali Major 2023 continues with Team Spirit vs Shopify Rebellion. We have prepared a betting tip on this spectacle.

From the looks of things, this particular match can be called the focal point of the tour. Both teams are clearly aiming for high places by the end of the group, and a passage into the top play-offs.

Both teams have had a very solid season, with ups and downs, and The Bali Major 2023 stunts the opportunity to close it on a Major note.

So far, both teams are very close to qualifying for the gridiron. Only a few points remain to be scored in the final games and voila - the top of the play-offs grid is guaranteed.

We'll try to see if there's a winner in this game, if any of the teams can pick up the win they need and significantly improve their position in the standings.

Let's go.

Team Spirit formation

Let's take a look at Team Spirit's form. In this match, the team will play at number one.

The bookmakers are very careful to bet Spirit on the winner of the match. The odds on the team from Eastern Europe to win are at 3.

Spirit have been playing an average game this season, but they still have a solid showing in the top tournaments. They haven't had much success on the international stage, but the Bali Major 2023 could be the tournament where the Spirit finally take off.

In the first round of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1, Spirit finished 2nd. The dragons were then prevented from winning by BB Team, who finished the tournament in first place 7-0. After a home league appearance, Team Spirit attended The Lima Major 2023 where they finished in the top 8.

Later, the Spirit played the second round of their home league and again finished in the top-2. Going to The Berlin Major 2023 expected to improve the result of the previous Major, however, in the end, things only got worse: already in the top-12.

Despite "sluggish" international play, the Spirit still steadily make it through the Major groups and look like the main contender to win every game at home. That was the case in the third season of DPC 2023.

Spirit finished the final Eastern European cycle in first place. It took 3 tries to get the title in Eastern Europe.

• The composition of Team Spirit: Yatoro, Larl, Collapse, Mira, Miposhka .

The last tournament before DreamLeague Season 20 was DreamLeague S20 for the Dragons. There, the Eastern Europeans finished in the Top 5, which is not a bad result, considering the above-mentioned results for the year.

The Bali Major 2023 is "average" for Spirit. The team is in 5th position with 1-2-1 and 4-4 in mapm stats.

Team Spirit's most popular characters

Crystal Maiden tops Team Spirit's list of most picked characters. The character has appeared in spades six times and has an 83% win rate.

In addition to Crystal Maiden, Disruptor and Underlord are also favored, appearing in spades 5 times each with an 80% win rate. There was also Skywrath Mage (4 matches, 100% wins), Doom (4 matches, 75% wins), PL, Viper, Slark, Riki appeared 3 times each and has 100% wins.

Shopify Rebellion Form

Continuing the breakdown of the match with an analysis of Shopify Rebellion's match form. In this match, they will be in a catch-up role.

The bookies are cautiously betting SR on the outsider position. The chance of the Americans winning is estimated at odds in the region of 3.3.

Shopify started the season well, but then something went wrong. The team looks very chaotic, but they can and still are capable of playing Dota, that's for sure.

The team has twice finished in the Top 2 of the DPC Home League, Ledge and TSM. In the third round of the DPC, Shopify Rebellion finally picked up a well-deserved top-1 in DPC 2023: North America Upper Division.

Naturally, such a result can hardly be called an achievement, as the competition in the North American region is rather sparse. However, in the case of Shopify Rebellion, it's much more about playing on the international stage, where the results are much better.

At The Lima Major 2023, Shopify Rebellion made it to the top 4. Making it into the top three was prevented, unexpectedly, by Talon Esports.

In addition to the Lima Major 2023, the team was at the DreamLeague Season 19 and played even better than the Peruvian major. Cooler, because they played with a substitution (in the Abed performed inexperienced Mikey) and reached the top 3 of the tournament for 1,000,000 dollars.

Then there was The Berlin Major 2023 with a dismal top-12 and then the third round of DPC 2023: NA Division 1. The latter went better, with SR taking the top spot, guaranteeing themselves passage to The Bali Major 2023, and also actually qualifying for The International 2023.

• Shopify Rebellion: Arteezy, Abed, SaberLight, Cr1t, Fly.

At DreamLeague Season 20 SR again played with substitutes, but this time they failed to repeat the success of the DL S19 period: Shopify Rebellion failed to pass the first group stage of the DL and, like Liquid, left the championship prematurely.

At the time of writing, Shopify Rebellion are on line 4 in the standings. The team is on line 4 with a score of 0-4-1.

The most popular Shopify Rebellion characters

Shopify Rebellion most often played Crystal Maiden (8 matches, 62% wins), Storm Spirit (7 matches, 57% wins), Doom (7 matches, 57% wins).

Also had Rubick (5 matches, 80% win rate), Terrorblade (4 matches, 75% win rate), Underlord (4 matches, 75% win rate).

History of head-to-head encounters

The teams have previously played each other twice. On The Lima Major 2023, Shopify took the win but the game in Berlin ended in a draw.

Match result

In this encounter I expect a more or less even game, as the odds and the standings indicate. In my opinion, the most acceptable and possible scenario would be a draw.

Bottom line: draw.
