The long-awaited first Major of the season has arrived. We are preparing for the start of the matches of ESL One Stockholm 2022, which will be opened by BOOM and BetBoom.
Southeast Asia versus Eastern Europe. A battle of different playstyles and dota philosophies.
Both teams showed a good game within their regions and qualified for the championship without any problems.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this match and earn the first points in the Major.
BOOM shape
BOOM will play as the favorite in this match. Their chance of success is estimated by a coefficient in the region of 2.1.
I have no doubts about the advantage of BOOM. In all respects, they look stronger than their opponents: starting with the names in the roster, ending with the performance in the season.
Composition BOOM
- Jackky
- Yopaj
- fbz
- TIMS
- Skem
Don't forget that behind BOOM is Mushi full of experience. In this regard, BOOM is definitely in favor.

Heroes of BOOM
Most Picked BOOM Heroes in 7.31: Death Prophet (8 matches, 75% win rate), Weaver (7 matches, 100% win rate), Kunkka (6 matches, 66% win rate).
Top performing BOOM heroes in 7.31: Weaver (7 matches, 100% win rate), Templar Assassin (4 matches, 100% win rate), Sand King (4 matches, 100% win rate).
Form BetBoom
BetBoom will be catching up in this. The chances of their success are estimated by a coefficient in the region of 5.3.
We will not dispute such a figure, because, in my opinion, it is well deserved. Not only do they play in the bo2 group, but also in terms of the level of the team, to put it mildly, at different stages.
Line-up of BetBoom

BetBoom has certainly performed well in Eastern Europe, but don't rely too heavily on that. From the experience of the game, the BetBoom roster has D2CL matches, not a single away event and three bo3s in Eastern Europe.
BetBoom Latest Match Results
- 3-2 victory over Gambit Esports
- 2-1 victory over Team Spirit
- 2-1 victory over NaVi
- 2-0 victory over the Outsiders
- Victory over Mind Games with a score of 2-0
A solid streak that will definitely end at ESL One Stockholm 2022. If not in this match, then in one of the next ones for sure.
Heroes BB
In patch 7.31 BB's most picked were: Io (6 matches, 83% win), Pango (6 games, 83% win), Grimstroke (6 matches, 66% win), Visage (5 matches, 80% win).
Most successful BB heroes in patch 7.31: Chaos Knight (3 matches, 100% win rate), Death Prophet (2 matches, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
The only thing that can stop BOOM from winning is the bo2 format. BetBoom's passive playing style may pay off on one of the cards, but faith in this is extremely low.
Bottom line: BOOM wins.
