Match forudsigelse: Shopify Rebellion - BetBoom Team | Dota 2

Major in Lima is gaining momentum. Next up is the second round confrontation between Shopify Rebellion and BB Team.

The confrontation between SR is not just a battle between two diametrically opposed regions of competitive dota, but also a match that is not without intrigue. Former teammates will play with each other, and this is always interesting.

BB Team will approach the match as the winner of Eastern Europe. The team did not lose a single map on its way to the tournament.

Shopify Rebellion took the TOP-2 in North America. The team looked good in North America, but with the local competition it was very difficult to achieve a worse result.

We are looking into whether Nightfall will be able to outplay their former teammates and how the former EG will hold the first major in a new guise.

BB Team Uniform

Let's start the review of the match with an analysis of the game form of BB Team. The team will approach the confrontation in the status of a favorite.

Since BB Team won their division, it's no wonder that they are the favorites here. In addition, competition in Eastern Europe is still higher than in North America.

And let's also take into account the line-up factor and it will become clear that it is BBs who will lead the match. At least they should.

BB Team

All the “lights” of Eastern Europe gathered in the BB roster. A kind of “dream”, but with nuances.

BB Team Players

• Pure
• gpk
• nightfall
• Save-
• TORONTOTOKYO

A potential problem for the BB was TORONTOTOKYO's transition to a support position. However, according to the experience of the Eastern European DPC, it was resolved.

BB Team Performance

BB Team have not lost a single game in the top division. The team finished it with a score of 7-1, but still gave away a few cards.

So, for example, we lost a map in a series against Team Spirit. Such an outcome was expected, because frankly speaking, only “dragons” were considered a serious opponent for the BB Team.

Heroes BB Team

BB Teams have near-perfect stats with only one map lost, so virtually all of the heroes they pick didn't lose. And they chose the following: Death Prophet (6 matches, 100% wins), Hoodwink (5 matches, 100% wins), Treant Protector (4 matches, 100% wins), Clockwerk (4 matches, 100% wins), Sniper (3 match, 100% wins).

Only Tiny, DK and Rubick lost. One card out of three played.

Shopify Rebellion form

We continue the review of the match with an analysis of the Shopify Rebellion game form. They are predicted to be an outsider in this match.

I fully agree with this alignment of forces. It's not even a matter of personal sympathy.

Shopify Rebellion is played in North America and, in my opinion, this is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, region of competitive Dota 2. They failed to take the lead there, even though the roster is quite strong and well-played.

Shopify Rebellion Composition

Don't let the tag fool you. Before us are the former EG, but in a slightly different formation.

Shopify Rebellion Players

• Arteezy
• Abed
• SabeRLight-
• Cr1t-
• Fly

After the transfer window, SR accepted SabeRLight into their team. An experienced player who managed to play for TSM and post-ended for Entity.

At his post, the Czech replaced Nightfall and this is a point of interest. It will be interesting to watch the confrontation of the former teammate, as Nightfall may know something about the internal kitchen of the club and this will obviously play a plus.

Shopify Rebellion Performance

SR finished the season in 2nd place in the home league. The team lost the only match, losing to a direct competitor from TSM.

That match ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of Team SoloMid. However, SR had an extra practice in the form of the BTS Pro Series.

At the commercial event, SR took the unconditional first place. In the final, the Nouns were easily demolished with a score of 3-0.

Shopify Rebellion Heroes

The most selectable character in Shopify Rebellion is Rubick. The hero appeared in picks 13 times with a win rate of 84%.

Followed by Shadow Fiend (12 matches, 75% win), Primal Beast (9 games, 77% win), Tusk (9 matches, 77% win), Mirana (9 matches, 66% win).

Everything is strictly according to the meta, but we must not forget about the signatures from the same Abed. Storm Spirit can always spawn, even though it's low popularity in the patch.

History of personal confrontations

Previously, the teams did not play each other in head-to-head confrontations. The teams will play their debut official match within the second round of Lima Major 2023 group stage games.

Match outcome

In this fight, the real outcome seems to be the victory of BB Team, but I would not jump to conclusions. All the same, we have bo2 and the first game day.

Obviously, BB Team has every chance of winning: here you have the online format of games without spectators on the stage, and the presence of Nightfall is a plus, as we talked about above. But SR is not a bastard, there is enough experience behind them, which means they can fight.

Historically, SR (read EG) play well in the group stages. This will be the bet.

Result: +1.5 on EG.
