BetBoom Team vs. One Move Prediction on May 25, 2023

Match info

We make a prediction for the match BetBoom Team vs. One Move which will kick off the second day of games in the second week of the Dota 2 DPC EEU 2023: Division 1, Tour 3. This is one of the tournament’s main duels and it will start on Thursday, May 25, on the Stockholm (Sweden) online server at 1 PM local time.

Meeting statistics

The situation is becoming more heated as The International 2023 participants are to be determined. In the final campaign of the season, teams with strong performances prior to the commencement of the third tour are scrambling to earn points, and BB Team is one of those. They’ve been playing well at DPC all year, and a victory at DPC 2023: EEU Division 1, Tour 3 might secure them a spot at TI 2023. It’s too soon to let their guard down, though, as their opposition isn’t weak at all.

Let’s predict how the upcoming game will conclude, who’ll be stronger, and who’ll score the required number of points.

The current form of BetBoom Team

We begin the match analysis by examining the BB Team’s game form. They’ll participate as the match’s favorites in this contest. Betting sites Dota 2 are pretty much certain in such BB’s pre-game position, which is reflected in low odds. The five players on their roster perform well in environments that are comfortable for them, and the online DPC format is one such environment.

The opening tour of DPC 2023 EEU Division 1 was performed well by BB Team. It was successfully concluded in favor of the just-assembled team, which received a fair number of DPC points. This didn’t benefit them on the international stage though because they didn’t pass the group stage for The Lima Major 2023. The second cycle roughly followed the same canons, but the outcome was significantly worse. BB Team placed third overall in DPC 2023: Tour 2. The international stage, however, continues to pose a problem for them, as they failed to progress further than the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023.

The positions of Egor “Nightfall“ Grigorenko and Ivan “Pure“ Moskalenko were exchanged by the organization before the third tour began. The latter is now in position 3, while Nightfall assumed the carry role in which he made his professional stage debut. Pure has so far made a seamless transition to the offlaner position. Nightfall has already played a single at The Berlin Major 2023 and was quite convincing there, so there are no worries about him.

Everything has been going well so far, with BB holding the shared top spot in the standings. The team defeated Hydra and Virtus.pro 2-0 each to earn two victories in two games. Storm Spirit has been employed the most by the BB Team (5 games, 60% winning percentage). Primal Beast and Pugna are the team’s best picks for position 4, respectively, and each of these characters has four matches with 100% victories.

The current form of One Move

Let’s continue with the game analysis by putting a spotlight on the One Move form. They take the role of outsiders in this game, which makes perfect sense. Their chances of winning as unsatisfactory according to oddsmakers who don’t truly believe they’ll succeed.

Truth be told, One Move is a “strong middling“ side even though they are just one position behind the third-placed BB Team in the table. One Move’s game improves in DPC from season to season, although there’s never enough for a big success. They finished the first tour in fifth position with a score of 2-5, managing to “rip off“ cards from some favorites. But that was it. In the second tour of DPC 2023, a similar occurred once more. Although this part of the season was much better for One Move, the outcome remained the same. Even though they had a score of 3-4 this time, One Move were able to take the map from all of the top teams in the region, including Team Spirit, 9Pandas, and BB Team, but they were unable to go past the TOP-4.

The attempts by One Move to compete in regional competitions were unsuccessful. Some would want to claim that DPC 2023: Division 1, Tour 3 is doing well for them, but that’s not quite accurate. One Move defeated UALEIKUMNIHAO 2-0 to start the third tour on the right foot and defeated Hydra with a score of 2-1 in the next match. Something then went wrong. A resounding loss from 9Pandas is understandable given that they are the league’s top challenger for an ultimate victory, but falling to Nemiga isn’t what you’d anticipate from a team that asserts to have held the top spots in the league for the majority of the season. Although One Move are currently 2-2, yet there are still more games to come.

The previous season’s most used One Move hero was Tiny (31 games, 54% victories). Timbersaw additionally made an appearance in selections for One Move having the most wins (16 games, 56% victories). One Move are capable of winning at least a map or even a series against BB Team based on past performances. Don’t, however, set high expectations for them.

Head-to-head encounters

This season, the teams have faced off twice. Although BB threw away a card in a duel in the most recent season, they won both times.

Match analytics

BB Team are expected to prevail in this match, but the key question is whether One Move will be capable to pick up one card or not. No, in our opinion. Considering recent One Move performances, particularly against Nemiga, don’t give them much hope. Prediction: First blood for BetBoom Team at odds of 1.76 on Betwinner.
