Welcome back to EGamersWorld. The first stage of DreamLeague S19 doesn't just think about ending, which means we've prepared a betting tip for Team Aster - Execration in the replay for the next round.
The match between Execration - Aster will be held on April 13 at 12:00ET and we had time to prepare our analysis. But we've had plenty of time in the last four days to analyze the hottest DreamLeague S19 games, including Aster and Execration.
We'll tell you what to expect from this bo1 and who is one step closer to qualifying for the next round as a result of these replay matches.
Team Aster - China still can do it?
Let's start with parsing the match between Team Aster and Execration with a look at the Chinese squad's form. In this match, they will have to play as favourites.
I would not single out a potential favorite in this case, but bookmakers still have confidence in Aster. The chance of a win for the only representative of the Chinese region is estimated at odds in the region of 1.7.
The obvious figure appeared by itself, as the team got into the replay, and therefore played exactly the same way as their opponent. However, Aster retain a perceived advantage either way.
It seems that the factor of their belonging to the Chinese region, though it's severely sunk in recent times, puts them ahead. Over the course of Stage 1, the team played to a 1-4-2 scoreline. On the cards, Team Aster are 6-8.
The only representative of the Chinese region started the first stage rather tightly and continued with it exactly that way. However, using their vast experience, Aster can clinch the next stage with a round robin 1.
- Team Aster: Monet, Xwy, Xxs, Boboka, Siamese C.
It is quite difficult to single out anyone from the list of players. Given that the team got to the replay, we can no longer say that they have clear headliners, but we can definitely note that it is important to create comfortable conditions for Xwy, for otherwise Aster are virtually a hundred percent thrown in.
Most popular Team Aster heroes
Aster love to play as Enchantress. She was taken 11 times and won 72% of the time.
Tiny (6 games, 66% wins), Clockwerk (6 games, 50% wins), Disruptor (5 games, 60% wins) are also picks.
If you're confident that the Chinese performers' experience and Aster's stamina will help them get through the round-robin replay, pick Aster to win the match with a Team Aster win at odds of 1.7.
Take your time selecting the winner of the bo1 match - look at the Execration form, which we cover below.
Form Execration - now South East Asia's last hope
Opposing China's 'last hope' in this match will be the last representative of the neighbouring region - South East Asia. Execration will play this match as the underdog of the match.
Bookmakers confirm Execration's status, highlighting them as number two. The odds on Execration to win this match are around 2.
The gap between the teams is small and this makes sense as the teams have played in their group with an identical scoreline. Execration made it to the replay with a 6-8 statistic on the cards.
Execration have had a rather traumatic experience on the international stage this season. They qualified for their first Major tournament of the season by winning their home league in the first round, but failed to qualify for the Lima Major 2023.
- Execration: Palos, Bob, Tino, Shanks, BDz.
There is no one good or bad in the line-up. The team plays very consistently, and that's more of a plus for Execration than the other way round.
In the DreamLeague S19, the team tried to play creatively, using heroes that are not often chosen in the professional world, but more often than not, they come up with time-tested strategies.
The most popular Execration heroes
The most pickable hero is Tiny (10 matches, 50% win rate). Other picks are Mirana (6 games, 83% wins), Visage (6 games, 83% wins), Beastmaster (6 games, 50% wins), Batrider (6 games, 33% wins).
If you're ready to believe in Execration's success in the Bo1 match - pick them as the winner of the match at odds in the region of 2.
If you still haven't decided on your personal favourite, we suggest you take a look at the history of their head-to-head encounters, which is quite eloquent.

However, betting on bo1 is always a risk. Remember that.
Bottom line: Aster win.
