We continue to review what is happening within the Eastern European DPC division. Next in line is a very fundamental confrontation.
As part of the second match of the first day of the second week of games, BB Team and Darkside will play. A battle of favorites with a fairly deep storyline.
BB Team will approach this fight to fight on the first line of the standings. The team played 2 matches and won 4 maps.
Darkside breathe their counterparts in the back. The team has 3 matches and two wins, and besides, they share the first place with the same BB, Nemiga and Team Spirit.
We figure out which of the teams will knock out the opponent from the first line and get the opportunity to lead it alone.
BB Team Uniform
Let's start the review with an analysis of the game form of BB Team. The team will approach this match as a favorite.
The bookmakers single-handedly give their preference to the team. Chance to win BB is estimated by odds around 1.1.
Such a stunning difference in quotes is caused by several factors. The first is a roster.
BB Team
In the new season, BB decided to take the path of maximum gain by signing a stack of friends. These friends, moreover, are very enviable performers in the region with experience behind them.
BB Team Players
- Pure
- gpk
- nightfall
- Save-
- TORONTOTOKYO
In fact, we have a Virtus.pro hodgepodge with TORONTOTOKYO in the top five. The latter, by the way, is successfully adapting.
BB Team Performance
Let's not remember the BB from last season. Then the team did not look bad during the competitive year, but later played The International absolutely mediocre.
The new BBs got together before the start of DPC 2023 with the obvious goal of winning the first round and qualifying for the Major. Both of these are quite real.
In the first game at DPC 2023, BB Team beat VP with a score of 2-0, without really feeling the representatives of their former club.
Then there was a game with HR, which also did not distinguish itself by severity for BB. gpk and company won it 2-0.
Heroes BB
At DPC 2023, BB Team has not lost a single game yet, and therefore the team has an ideal win rate on all characters. The team selected Death Prophet 3 times, Hoodwink 2 times, Ursa, Treant, Lina, Ember, Rubick and others like Silencer, Mirana once.
Darkside form
We continue the review with an analysis of the Darkside game form. They are outsiders in this confrontation.
And outsiders with a capital letter. The bookmakers do not give the Ramzes team a chance - the odds for winning are at level 7.
Frankly, such a figure seems too fatal. I agree that Darkside is on the second fiddle, but I don't expect such a serious gap in terms of the game.
Darkside line-up
The new SoNNeiKo roster with Ramzes is slowly gaining momentum. How far they will go is a big question, but so far the team has managed to win some games.
Darkside Players
- Ramzes
- re1bl
- DkFogas
- RodjER
- SoNNeiKo
Although the team has been together quite recently, the individual parts of the team have experience of playing together. This is SoNNeiKo + RodjER last season and RodjER + Ramzes back in the days of the “golden” VP roster.
The opponents also have it, which should add interest to the meeting.
Darkside Performance
The only tournament where Darkside has been seen so far is DPC 2023: EEU Upper Division. The team played 1 game within the upper division.
Carried it out against NaVi. After a completely lost first map, Darkside, in particular RodjER on Tiny, turned the situation around and ended the series in their favor.
Later, Darkside played against Nemiga Gaming. The team won against their counterparts with a score of 2-0.
Heroes of Darkside
As part of the DPC Darkside, they play methodically without inventing the wheel. Picks Crystal Maiden (3 matches, 66% win), Dark Seer (2 games, 100% win), Tiny (2 matches, 100% win), Leshrac (2 matches, 50% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not meet each other in official matches. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Exodus
In this fight, I don't expect a perfect game from either side. I see more of a victory for BB, but I won't be surprised by the card taken from Darkside. This will be the bet.
Even the handicap on Darkside looks dangerous, but the coefficient is just too pleasant.
Result: +1.5 on Darkside.
