Прогноз на матч: Tundra Esports - Blacklist International | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

We continue to watch the group stage of the Bali Major 2023. And then we look at Group A, where Tundra Esports and Blacklist will meet face-to-face.

The match is something of a breather for the spectators. My point is that the match is clearly not going to be outstanding and does not claim to be the central meeting of the tour. At least it seems so at the time of writing.

Naturally, both teams have big ambitions and definitely want to make it to the top of the play-offs grid. However, from the first few days, it looks like we'll only see 1 team from this pair in the later matches of the top draw, and it won't be Blacklist.

But that's what a Major is for destroying expectations and showing unexpected results. Let's try to see if there will be a winner in this match that will improve his results in the standings.

Let's go.

Tundra Esports uniforms

We begin the analysis of the match with an analysis of the game form Tundra Esports. In this match, the Europeans will play in the status of favorites.

Bookmakers confirm the advantage of Tundra Esports. The odds on the victory of the Europeans is at 1.3.

It looks very logical and I think the odds will be justified by the game. Tundra a few goals above their future counterparts, as indicated by their performance during the season, and the overall team chemistry.

In the first round of DPC 2023, Tundra only finished in the top 4 after a tiebreaker, finishing in the top 3 at the end of the season. This gave them a chance to play in The Lima Major 2023, which they failed, finishing in the top-12.

Things got better in the second DPC cycle. Tundra again had a replay and again they managed it, only this time it was a match for the top 2 division. Things also went better on the international stage, at the ESL One Berlin Major 2023, where the reigning world champions, The International, finished in the top 6.

DPC Tundra returned to the top of the competitive dot in the third round. The reigning world champions, The International, finished in the top 1 in their home league.

• Tundra Esports line-up: skiter, Nine, 33, Saksa, Sneyking.

Tundra attended DreamLeague Season 20, but they didn't have much zeal to win there. The team failed to qualify for the first group stage, ending up in the top 9-10.

Based on the results of the first few days of games, Tundra Esports are feeling great. The team has a 4-2 statistic and basically looks to be in the upper net of the tournament.

Blacklist International form

Continuing the match review with an analysis of Blacklist International's playing form. In this match, the team will play in the status of the outsider.

Bookmakers are confident in Blacklist's underdog status. The chance of a win for representatives of South-East Asia is estimated at odds in the region of 3.1.

To be fair, 3.1 is not 6, which means Blacklist have a chance to surprise. It's going to be tough, but the possibility remains.

Blacklist International finished in the top 4 in the first round, one step away from qualifying for the Lima Major 2023. That's nothing yet, because it was worse in the second round.

At DPC 2023: SEA Tour 2 Blacklist International were already in the top 5. Obviously, there was never any talk of a Major.

In between very mediocre results at DPC 2023, the team participated in local events. It was BTS Pro Series Season 14 where BI finished in TOP 3. The key result was their final Top-2 in the third round of DPC and their final appearance in the Bali Major 2023.

• Blacklist International: Raven, Karl, kpii, TIMS, kuku.

By the first matches of Blacklist International it seemed that their song had died, but they still managed to join the race somehow. Remarkably, this happened in a match against Shopify Rebellion, who had previously been run over by Tundra Esports.

Next are Rubick (8 matches, 62% wins), Doom (6 matches, 83% wins).

History of head-to-head encounters

The teams have not previously played each other in head-to-head matches. This match is the clubs' debut.

Match outcome

I do not expect much of a fight in this match. Tundra came to this tournament for a victory and they can earn it.

Blacklist is a little too early to compete with the clubs of Tundra's level and taking the map will be a big surprise. However, that is not going to happen.

Bottom line: victory for Tundra.
