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

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The International 2023 - SEA Qualifier continues. Things are heating up every day.

We've been talking about the top set of The International 2023 - SEA Qualifier, where teams are competing to be the first to reach the grand finals. Now we're talking about the upper grid semifinals, where Blacklist vs Bleed will be played in one of the matches.

In one of the articles on EGamersWorld I mentioned that the qualifications for Dota 2 International 2023 are among the closest in terms of competitiveness of the teams here. Blacklist and Bleed are a prime example of this.

In the second semi-final of the top set, Blacklist and Bleed will compete for the right to advance to the final of the top set. There, the winner of the pair will play against the winner of the Team SMG/Execration pair.

We will see which of the teams will be stronger and will play in the next round to qualify for the Grand Final of the qualifiers.

Let's go.

Bleed Esports uniforms

Let's open the showdown with an analysis of Bleed Esports' form. In this match, the team will play in the status of favourites.

However, the favourite is too strong. Bookmakers give the odds of 1.81 for the victory of Bleed.

In fact, we have no favourites and outsiders here. There are two equal teams and it can not but be happy.

Bleed managed to achieve a minimal advantage in this match thanks to an overall good season. They earned 500 DPC points for the year and that's good in their debut year within the DPC ecosystem.

They started the year with an appearance at the local M.Invitational 2023. Bleed won that tournament, beating BOOM in the grand finals.

Next up was an "inside" DPC performance. The first two rounds proved to be a challenge: at DPC SEA 2023 Tour 1: Division 1 Bleed finished in 6th place with a 3-4 score, and then repeated the "success" of the first round, again finishing in the top 6, but now even closer to the critical mark of 7th place. At DPC 2023: Sea Division 1 Tour 2 Bleed played with a score of 2-5.

The quality boost that brought 500 DPC points to the club came in the third round of the DPC. Quite unexpectedly, Bleed beat all the competitors in the region, including Talon Esports, and finished in the top 1 in the league.

• Bleed's roster: JaCkky, Kordan, iceiceice, DJ, DuBu.

The last championship before the qualifiers for The International 2023 was the Major in Bali. Home Major, which Bleed finished in 13-14th place.

In the first round of qualifiers, Bleed faced Boom Esports. The once prime team of the region could not impose the fight and as a result Bleed passed Boom with a score of 2-0.

Most popular Bleed Esports heroes

Mirana, Tusk and Primal Beast are among the most picked heroes. All have 6 matches and 83% wins.

Blacklist International uniforms

We continue our match analysis with an analysis of Blacklist International's form. In this match they will have to play the first number one.

Bookmakers, in general, are not ready to determine the winner of the match. The odds for a Blacklist victory are at around 1.89.

A perfect balance in terms of odds, not otherwise. What else can we expect, from a match for the top 3 qualifiers.

In the first round of DPC 2023, Blacklist International finished in the top 4, one step away from reaching the Lima Major 2023. That's nothing, because at DPC 2023: Sea Division 1 Tour 2 the situation was worse. At DPC 2023: SEA Tour 2 Blacklist International were already in the top 5. There was obviously no Major to speak of.

In between very mediocre results at DPC 2023, the team participated in local events. This was the BTS Pro Series Season 14, where BI took the top 3.

The key result for the year, however, was a top-2 finish in the third round of the DPC followed by an appearance at Bali Major 2023. Unfortunately for Blacklist and their fans, the club with big name players failed to show class at their only international tournament of the season. At Bali Major 2023, Blacklist finished in the top 14.

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

Bali Major 2023 was the last tournament for BI before the Long Sogpeg qualifiers for The International 2023. Despite a very mediocre result, the club kept the squad unchanged.

The team met Army Geniuses in the first round of the upper grid, where Blacklist got to thanks to the top 2 on the third round of the DPC and 360 DPC points in the asset. The match ended 2-0 in favour of Blacklist, but it was not an easy ride, Blacklist had some problems, especially on the first map.

Pangolier is one of the most popular heroes in Blacklist International. He appeared in the peak 9 times and has a 77% win rate.

History of head-to-head meetings between Blacklist and Bleed

Blacklist and Bleed have played each other 4 times during the season. Bleed have won only 1 match and that was outside of DPC.

Predicted result of Blacklist vs Bleed at The International 2023: SEA Qualifier

The most logical option here is the total +2.5. Taking into account the closeness of the teams in terms of performance and minimal problems in the first matches of the qualifiers, I would expect a really equal fight here.

Bottom line: total +2.5.
