Прогноз на матч: Talon Esports - Shopify Rebellion | Dota 2
The Lima Major 2023The climax of Lima Major 2023 is approaching. There are 4 teams left in the tournament and it's time to find out the name of the TOP-3 team.
Shopify Rebellion and Talon Esports will meet in a match for life. The semi-finals of the lower bracket will be held in bo3 format.
Shopify Rebellion is the second team in North America and the last representative of its region. The team made it through the group stage of Lima Major 2023, making it to the TOP-4, after which it was relegated to the lower bracket after a round.
Talon Esports is the third team in Southeast Asia, but according to the results of this tournament, it is already TOP-1. We passed the group stage with TOP-4, after the first round of the playoffs we fell to the bottom of the bracket.
Let's figure out who will be stronger in this confrontation and will be in the TOP-3 of the first major event in 2023.
Shopify Rebellion form
Let's start the analysis of the match by analyzing the Shopify Rebellion game form. They will play as the favorite in this match.
The North American club looks cheerful in this match. The bookmakers agree with this and give SR odds of around 1.5 to win.
In this tournament, Shopify Rebellion have earned themselves such a position. Their game is on the level, and team morale is on top.
Shopify Rebellion Composition
There were concerns regarding the mood of the Shopify Rebellion after the match against Team Liquid. Knowing how Shopify Rebellion players might react to losing the unplayable, the danger remained.
Shopify Rebellion Players
- Arteezy
- Abed
- SabeRLight-
- Cr1t-
- Fly
Against EG, the team cheered up, and the local public will now cheer for Arteezy. I think it will add boost.
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.
In the match against EG Shopify Rebellion showed a tempo peak with Luna. Showed twice, on the second and third map, and thus passed on.
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).
Talon Esports Uniform
Opposing Shopify Rebellion will be Talon Esports. The team will play as an outsider.
It doesn't matter what the bookmaker gives to the success of Talon Esports. They have already completed the maximum plan, but are not ready to give up.
Talon play very cool, play easily and gain momentum as the tournament progresses. They will definitely make up the problems of Shopify Rebellion.
Talon Esports roster
During the tournament, Talon Esports revealed themselves as a team, and this is due to the personal performance of the team members. No one will fall out, and this is rare.
Talon Esports Players
- 23savage
- Mikoto
- Jabz

- Oli
In the last episode, 23savage shone, which is often criticized. The support duo shone, in general, it was very cool.
Talon Esports performance
Talon Esports played the regional league with a score of 4-3. This result allowed them to take the last 3rd place for the passage to Lima.
The team also played at the M.Invitational championship, where Talon managed to get into the TOP-4, which can not be called a good result. Things went much better at BTS Pro Series Season 14, and in the end, Talon won the championship there.
As part of the group stage, they took 4th place in Pot A. They won against Execration, TSM and EHOME, tied with Gaimin Gladiators, PSG.LGD, EG and Team Spirit and lost against Tundra Esports.
In the first game of the playoffs, Talon Esports played against Team Liquid. The match, surprisingly, turned out to be quite long: while the first map lasted 31 minutes, all 49 minutes were kept on the second Talon. At the matchpoint, Liquid beat Talon with Drow Ranger and Doom by Zai.
In the next game, Talon Esports played against HellRaisers. Residents of Eastern Europe did not oppose Talon, gave Lin and deservedly went home.
In the match before that, they played against Entity. The European club was not there: 2-0 in favor of Talon.
Talon Esports Heroes
The team uses the meta Rubick (10 matches, 9 wins), Tusk (9 games, 77% wins), however, apart from them, it picks Elder Titan, unique for the tournament (8 matches, 100% wins), and the forgotten Templar Assassin in the first position (8 games)., 100% wins).
In the first match of the playoffs, there were also Naga in 3rd position and Lina with Undying, as well as the unpopular Omniknight, Faceless Void and Ember. None of them won, of course.
Later they played with Terrorblade and Templar Assassin and Zeus.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play in official matches. This fight will be the debut confrontation.
Match outcome
In this fight, I expect a beautiful DotA and the teams will show it. Shopify Rebellions look good in this tournament and seem to be able to close this match, however, Talon is not a gift at all.
The victory over Evil Geniuses charged Arteezy and the company, and thanks to this they will go further. You should not expect an easy walk at this stage, but I expect victory.
Bottom line: Shopify Rebellion wins.
