Match forudsigelse: Execration - Tundra Esports | Dota 2

We continue to review what is happening within Lima Major 2023. The third match of the first stream of the Peruvian Major is next in line.

The representative of Southeast Asia will play against the reigning world champions from Western Europe.

Execration will represent Southeast Asia as the region's first team. The team made it to the Lima Major with 6 wins in 7 matches.

The path of Tundra Esports to the first major of the season was much more thorny. The current world champions had to go through regional replays in order to cling to the TOP-4 and taste the first major of the season.

We evaluate the chances of the teams in the first b2 match of the major and analyze whether one of the parties can win a direct victory in this match.

Tundra Esports Uniform

It is logical to start the review of the match with an analysis of the game form of Tundra Esports. In this match, they look like a clear favorite.

Despite the Tundra's problems during the season, they still pose a great threat to all competitors. Several factors support this.

Firstly, Tundra Esports went through the transfer season without changing its roster. Secondly, the team managed to play at commercial tournaments, where they gained gaming experience before the start of the major.

About everything in order.

Tundra Esports roster

As mentioned above, Tundra went through the transfer window with an intact squad. Since Tundra are the champions of The International, I think it is logical that they know how to play.

Tundra Esports Players

• skiter
• nine
• 33
• Saksa
• sneyking

However, you can’t call an ideal roster, no matter how much you would like to. Tundra Esports has problems that were revealed during the first round of the DPC.

They began to get used to them, and the typical “vile” playstyle after several letter patches no longer always allows you to win without any obstacles. Nevertheless, I think Tundra has a few surprises in store for the Lima Major.

Tundra Esports Performance

The champions of The International 2022 made it to Lima Major not without problems. And quite serious.

Tundra Esports qualified for Lima Major 2023 by taking 3rd place in the regional league of Western Europe. The team finished 4-3.

The pass was not easy because Tundra had to play round robins against Entity and OG. Fortunately for the players and fans of the club, they turned out to be stronger in roulette.

In addition to playing at DPC 2023: WEU - Upper Division, Tundra played in commercial tournaments, the last of which was BB Universe - Cosmic Zone.

There, Tundra Esports got the victory, moreover, resorting to stand-ins in the final of the upper bracket. In the grand final, Tundra beat Spirit 3-2, thus getting a good preparation for the start of the upcoming tournament.

Heroes Tundra Esports

The most selected Tundra character is Rubick, appreciated by the world champions. He has appeared 4 times and has a perfect win rate.

In addition, another popular hero, Tusk, appeared 4 times. However, he still lost one game.

The signature Beastmaster 33 performed even worse. The character was selected 4 times and won 2 matches.

Execration Form

We are moving to a more exotic team, which in this match will have to catch up with the favorite. Consider the game form Execration.

I think everyone will agree that Execration is assigned the role of an outsider in this match. The fact of superiority in Southeast Asia will not change this.

The problem of Southeast Asia is similar to the problem of North America: the region was shaken by major unrest, which directly affects the development of DotA here. The game from Valve is very popular here, but the competitive ecosystem is far from ideal.

Most recently, Fnatic left DotA, which were the monument of the region before. Naturally, this was provoked by relegation to the second division and the growing up of a “new generation”, but at the same time it indicates a regrettable trend.

Composition Execration

Execration went through the transfer season virtually unchanged. The only permutation happened in the fifth position.

Players

• Palos
• Bob
• Tino
• Shanks
• BDz

The team's newcomer is BDz, who has been playing on the professional scene since 2017. Previously, he represented TNC Predator, and before that he was already a member of Execration and even traveled with the club to a major in 2021, but was not lucky.

Otherwise, there are former representatives of Polaris and other local clubs that have been on the competitive scene for a long time. The only thing that worries me is the lack of experience on the international scene and playing in tournaments of this caliber.

Efficiency Execration

Execration took first place in the home league. At DPC 2023: SEA - Upper Division, the team won 6 matches.

The only defeat happened in the game against Geek Slate. The latter, by the way, made a big breakthrough and qualified for the major from the second division.

Unlike Tundra, Execration didn't really shine outside of the DPC ecosystem. However, before the start of DPC 2023, Execration managed to play at BTS Pro Series Season 13: SEA, where they took the victory.

Heroes Execration

In connection with the game on BTS Pro Series Season 13: SEA, the tune on the patch is present and large. The most picked hero is Mirana: appeared 18 times and has a win rate of 72%.

Marci is also very popular and was also chosen 18 times, but she won in 66% of the games.

Next come Visage (13 games, 76% win rate), Tusk and Tiny (12 games, 66% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams did not have time to play each other in official matches. The match of the first round of Lima Major 2023 will be the debut face-to-face confrontation for the teams.

Outcome

Everything seems obvious in this matchup, but don't get too slacked off by the format of the group stage. In b2, different outcomes are possible and it is possible that the same Execration can catch on to the card.

The odds for a possible card from Execration are very juicy. I would recommend taking a closer look at this outcome and I would venture to suggest that the Tundra will give up slack at the beginning of the race.

Exodus: +1.5 on Execration.
