Match forudsigelse: Shopify Rebellion - Evil Geniuses | Dota 2
The Lima Major 2023Dota Celebration continues in Peru. A little spoiled by pauses and technical problems, but a holiday.
The playoffs of the major of the same name are taking place in Lima, where 18 teams started their campaign for the champion title and material prizes: $500,000 and 1,900 DPC points. There are now 6 teams left in the race.
Shopify Rebellion and Evil Geniuses will open the third round of the lower bracket of the playoffs. Both teams are the last representatives of their respective regions in the first major of the season and both teams are eager to continue their path to the title.
Shopify Rebellion is the second team in North America. Having got to Lima Major 2023, SR passed the group stage on the 3rd line, and then, having lost in the second round of the playoffs, they went here.
Evil Geniuses are SR colleagues, the second team in South America. Having got to Lima Major 2023, Evil Geniuses reached the upper bracket of the playoffs, where after the first round they fell to the lower bracket.
We figure out who will be stronger in this fight and continue to defend the honor of our region at Lima Major 2023.
Shopify Rebellion form
Let's start the analysis of the match with an analysis of the game form of the team that got here earlier. How convenient that Shopify Rebellion will play here as a favorite.
It is possible to believe in the success of Shopify Rebellion in this match, and it is quite easy to do so. The opponent does not show confidence in this tournament, however, he has already accelerated a little along the lower bracket, which evokes disturbing thoughts.
Shopify Rebellion performed well in the group stage, surprisingly well. Shopify Rebellion played well in the playoffs as well, with strong opponents beaten in the first round, followed by drama in the second series.
Shopify Rebellion Composition
The problem with the Shopify Rebellion lineup is their morality. It was almost always like this, and in the days of Evil Geniuses it was elevated to the absolute.
Shopify Rebellion Players
- Arteezy
- Abed
- SabeRLight-
- Cr1t-
- Fly
The performers are certainly talented, but what about the metaphysical parameters? This is a question, but an insulting defeat from Team Liquid in the last series could break the fragile structure of the team.
However, they do not take away experience. They had to fix problems and approach the match at their peak.
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.
Played on BTS Pro Series. As part of the local tournament, Shopify Rebellion demonstrated class. Without much effort, they managed to close the championship even despite the presence of beastcoast-level teams in the list of participants.
Shopify Rebellion won 3 matches: against beastcoast, BB Team and HellRaisers. They got a draw in the match against Geek Slate, Aster, Entity and Knights, and lost only to Team Liquid.
In the first playoff match, Shopify Rebellion faced Team Spirit. A serious opponent gave them serious problems, but thanks to the competent team performance, and in particular Arteezy on Shadow Fiend, the team managed to win a strong-willed victory.
Team Liquid was waiting for the next round of Shopify Rebellion. On the first map, the Liquids broke EG by wiping their feet on the Marci carry, but the second one was the same drama that was mentioned above: SR lost, leading 15,000 gold at the moment.
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).
Evil Geniuses form
We continue the review of the match with the analysis of the game form of Evil Geniuses. They are in this match to act as an outsider.
The gap between the teams is minimal, what else to expect from such a stage of the championship. Yes, and the game Evil Geniuses swayed.
What started out as a half-hearted push turned into a car thumping at you. Yes, there are blots, and they are clearly visible in certain moments, but in general it has become much better.
Evil Geniuses line-up
The EG roster is revealed during the tournament, and this is good news. The public in Lima needs a hero and they got it in Evil Geniuses
Evil Geniuses players
- Pakazs
- Chris Luck
- Wisper
- Matthew

Before the start of the season and the Lima Major in particular, it looked like EG would be riding Chris Luck and Pakazs, but both of them look like nothing more than backup dancers in recent matches. All the “dirty” work is done by Wisper, who became the undisputed MVP of the match against Aster.
Evil Geniuses Performance
EG played the regular season with a 6-1 record. The only defeat happened in the 3rd week match against beastcoast.
In the first match, Evil Geniuses played against PSG.LGD. In that duel, EG confidently won the first game, and then decided to take Venomancer, which led to a defeat.
Then there was a fight with Talon, where EG, having won a difficult first map, lost on the second one without a fight. As a result 1-1
In the third series we played with Team Spirit. The Dragons managed to outbid EG, preventing the strategy from working through Timbersaw, and then beat their favorite Chaos: 2-0 in favor of EG.
After not the most successful matches, they took over their heads and beat Tundra. However, there was a completely unnecessary draw in the match with EHOME.
Towards the end of the group stage, they tied with Execration and beat GG and TSM, which eventually allowed them to reach the playoffs from the third place in the group. And there something terrible happened.
In the first playoff match against Entity EG, they did not show any games at all. Despite the rather long matches of 40+ minutes, EG failed to bring fresh ideas to the match, and Entity, thanks to unpopular decisions like Pugna in the center or Silencer in 3 positions, outplayed Evil Geniuses in all respects.
The next opponent of Evil Geniuses was Beastcoast. The Peruvian derby ended with the total defeat of the first team in South America: beastcoast were completely eliminated from the tournament without earning any DPC points or money.
In the next round, EG played against Team Aster. A colorful match named after Wisper ended with EG's victory with a score of 2-1.
Heroes Evil Geniuses
EG has according to the canons of patch 7.32. However, there are some idiosyncratic choices. However, so far only the standard has worked.
The most picked character is Rubick. Appeared 11 times and won 9 matches.
Monkey King (8 games, 87% wins), Mars (8 matches, 62% wins), Timbersaw (7 games, 100% wins), Silencer (7 matches, 100% wins) are popular.
In the last match played inventively. Appeared, for example, Sven, and also carry Kunkka (this one really lost).
History of personal confrontations
Before this match, the teams did not play each other. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Match outcome
This match should be a Dota extravaganza in Lima. It's not even about the overall level of team play, but about the confrontation storyline.
Shopify Rebellion left the fold of EG after many years of performances, and the club moved to South America. The Peruvians have a chance to prove that the top North American organization made the right choice, while Arteezy and the company have the opposite motivation.
In any case, I expect an equal fight and tend to a full-fledged bo3. Speaking of the winner, more faith in the success of Shopify Rebellion, but EG can ride on courage.
In general, I take the total +2.5 and do not try my luck.
Result: total +2.5.
