Hello on EGamersWorld.
As part of our review of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Tour 3, we have compiled a betting tip for the BB Team - Vp match. The final game of the fourth game day will show us the match of the potential top 3 of the region at the end of the third round.
Both teams will look to climb up the standings, but BB clearly have the better chance. Let's see how they do in the second game of the season, while for VP this game is their debut.
Let's see how the match ends and who ends up stronger. Let's begin.
BB Team uniforms
We will start the analysis of the BB Team vs. Virtus.pro match with an overview of the BB Team's uniform. In this match, they will appear in the status of favorites.
Bookmakers estimate BB Team's chance to win at odds around 1.3. The gap is serious, and how could it be otherwise?
BB are a formidable force in their region and that's a fact. Yes, the team has problems, and global ones at that, but that does not negate the former merits.
In the first DPC cycle, the BB Team showed a game close to the benchmark. The team did not lose a single series and finished the season on the top line. But it did not help them on the international stage: The BB Team did not make it out of the groups at the Lima Major 2023.
In the second round of the DPC the team was also among the winners, but its performance was far worse than in the first round of the draw - now in the top 3. It's a good thing that things have been steady on The International stage! BB Team also failed to make it out of the groups at ESL One Berlin.
- BB Team line-up: Nightfall, gpk, Pure, Save, TORONTOTOKYO .
Performances at Major in the 2023 season led to a change in the BB Team line-up. No one was kicked, but the line-up was swapped: Nightfall and pure swapped places and it worked out very well so far.
BB Team have won their first game against Hydra 2-0. Is it an indicator? Well not bad, but the real challenges lie ahead.
The most popular BB Team characters
The most used BB Team character remains Storm Spirit (5 games, 60% wins). In addition the team plays Primal Beast and Pugna in position 4, and both heroes have 4 matches and 100% wins each.
In spades was Enchantress (4 matches, 25% wins), Beastmaster (4 games, 0% wins).
BB Team play is quite creative, the team performs different characters and it's nice to watch. They seem to have a distinct advantage over their future rival here.
Vp form
We continue our analysis of the match with an analysis of Virtus.pro's playing form. In this encounter, they will be playing number two.
The odds of Virtus.pro winning are estimated to be around 3. That sounds like a compliment to the Bears to me.
Virtus.pro seems to be a contender for the top 3 of the tournament, given their rich history, but in recent years they have only managed to struggle in the middle of the standings without much chance to change the situation.
In the first round of DPC 2023: EEU Division 1, the Bears finished in the top 4. Then they played to a 4-3 scoreline and the 4th place itself kept them out of the first Major of the season.
In between Season 1 and 2 of DPC Eastern Europe, the team played in a local event called BB Universe: Comics Zone and finished in the Top-8.
Then a second DPC season and a repeat of the results of the previous round: again in the top 4 and again without much chance to break into the top 3. And that's all with stand-ins in the line-up, with the hope of progress.
- Virtus.pro: Kiritych, squad1x, Noticed, sayuw, Fng .
The newest Vp player is Kiritych. He was bought out of Nemiga Gaming as he showed great promise. He still gives them, but on the scoreboard of different tournaments where Vp play, it does not have any effect.
The stagnation in the stanza Vp is visible to the naked eye. While the BB Teams are failing at international tournaments but at least have the opportunity to practice with the best teams from various corners of the professional scene, the VPs have no such privileges so far.
The most popular Virtus.pro characters
Disruptor is still Virtus.pro's most popular character (9 matches, 55% win rate). On the heels of Thunderer is Undying (8 games, 50% wins).
Also VP picks Shadow Fiend (4 matches, 75% wins), Silencer (4 matches, 50% wins), Lina (4 matches, 50% wins).
Vp's key problem is not so much in the level of the performers, but in their lack of the requisite playing experience. Vp, being cut off from playing on the international stage, have not yet played in official matches in the new patch, while BB have plenty of such experience.
History of head-to-head encounters
Throughout the clubs history, BB Team and Virtus.pro have met in official matches three times. All games have been won by the BB Team, giving away only 1 card.
Result of the match
I can't imagine why Vp can beat BB Team. The latter have a lot more experience, and their performance is better than that of the Bears.
Besides, the BB Teams have historically played well on the regional stage, in the comfort of the online and so on. All in all, BB will win this series.
Bottom line: BB Team win 2-0.
