The group stage of Lima Major 2023 is gaining momentum. Next in line is a match between representatives of Southeast Asia and Western Europe.
Entity and Geek Slate will discover Lima Major in a face-to-face confrontation. Teams from group B will try to score points in a bo2 confrontation.
Entity made it to Lima finishing 4th in Western Europe. They jumped on the last car of the departing train after the regional replays.
Geek Slate has a much more interesting story. They got to Lima Major 2023 taking 2nd place in Southeast Asia, but the road was bumpy.
We figure out whether one of the teams will be able to pick up a clear victory or whether we are waiting for a tight battle of two.
Form Entity
Let's start the review with an analysis of the game form of Entity. The representative of Western Europe will play in this match as a favorite.
The chance of Entity winning by the bookmaker is estimated by odds around 1.6. Too fatal figure, as for bo2.
You can understand the thoughts of bookmakers: although Entity have taken the last ticket from Western Europe, they still represent the premium region. However, giving them victory just because they belong to Western Europe is stupid.
Entity Composition
Entity came into the new season with minimal lineup changes. We changed the player of the first position, which, of course, affected the game.
- watson
- Stormstormer
- Toby
- Kataomi`
- Fishman
Carrie's place was taken by watson. A young talent from Eastern Europe came to replace Pure, but it failed to outshine him.
I can’t say that the Kazakh has adapted and captured the philosophy of the Entity game. In some places it is difficult for him to keep up with the pace of Fishman and the company that they have been creating for more than one month.
In addition, watson cannot be called an experienced player. The player did not shine at lans of this level, which means there will be some pressure. Add here the problem with the road in Peru and get the player is not quite in perfect condition.
Entity Performance
Entity took 4th place at DPC 2023 from Western Europe. The team played in replays for 3 teams and ended up second there.
In addition to matches at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division, Entity played at third-party events. These were tournaments from BB.
Entity played at the Xmas Show even before the start of the DPC and failed there. In the new composition, they took TOP-6.
Before going to Peru, Entity played BB Universe: Episode 1 - Comics Zone. There, the team took the TOP-4, losing to the finalists of Team Spirit.
Entity Heroes
In the new season, Entity ran into Treant Protector, which appeared in 8 matches and has a 62% win rate. Along with Treant, they play Rubick, who also appeared 8 times and has a similar win rate.
Undying feels a little worse with a 50% win rate in the same 8 matches. Almost the only team that performs Invoker. Stormstormer rolled out his signature 6 times and won 4.
Geek Slate Shape
Let's continue the review with the analysis of the game form of Geek Slate. They will play the role of second violin in this match.
Bookmakers do not believe in the success of GS. The chance of winning the residents of the top division of Southeast Asia is estimated at a coefficient of around 7.
A crushing figure, but in relation to the GS it cannot be otherwise. The team does not yet have the experience of playing in tournaments of this magnitude, and they are, to put it mildly, recently in the top division.
Geek Slate line-up
There are no big names in the Geek Slate roster, although you can’t call them nouns. It was assembled before the start of the DPC and has already shown itself from the best side.
Geek Slate players
- skem
- Kokz
- force
- NARMAN
- Roddgeee
In fact, Geek Slate is such a story about “downed pilots”. Here you have skem and Forc, who used to play for title teams like Boom and Polaris, and also Roddgeee who played for SMG and other Southeast Asian teams.
Geek Slate Performance
An interesting story happened with Geek Slate, as the team didn't actually earn a DPC slot. She absorbed it from the Mongols from Lilgun, who made it to the first division at the end of the last season and games in the lower division there.
However, the machinations were turned out not in vain. At the end of the season, GS took 2nd place in the Regional League, finishing it with a score of 5-2.
Geek Slate Heroes
The most selectable Geek Slate character is Snapfire. The hero has spawned 15 times and has a 53% win rate. Undying has similar statistics.
They also love Rubick, who played 14 matches with a 64% win rate. Ember Spirit was also picked 14 times, but has a slightly better win rate - 15% win rate.
Tusk appeared 13 times and won 46% of the time. There was also Broodmother (12 matches, 50% of wins).
History of personal confrontations
Before that, the teams did not play against each other. This match will be a face-to-face confrontation between the clubs.
Match outcome
In this fight, you can expect a blowout from Entity, but it's a little scary to give such a forecast. I'm afraid the hot representatives from Southeast Asia can make a fuss, although they don't seem to be supposed to.
In the first match, I propose to see how the teams play, but I still dare to give GS +1.5.
Result: +1.5 on Geek Slate.
