Forutsigelse av kamp: Team Spirit - Talon Esports | Dota 2
The Lima Major 2023We continue to review the third gaming day of Lima Major 2023. The next match is between Talon Esports and Team Spirit.
Representatives of group A showed a worthy debut. Both clubs are in the TOP-4 before the start of the new game day.
Talon Esports continues to surprise. After two gaming days, the team won 6 maps with 2 lost and is on the 2nd line of the group.
Team Spirit is not far behind: the “dragons” won 5 maps out of 8 played. Before the start of the game day, they are on the 3rd line.
I propose to figure out what to expect from the match and what result of this bo2 will be its logical conclusion.
Team Spirit Uniform
We begin the review of the match with an analysis of the form of Team Spirit. They are in this match to play in the status of a favorite.
Chance for TS to win in this match is estimated by odds around 1.8. Total advantage on paper.
In favor of Spirit before this match, their status and past merits play. In addition, the factor of belonging to Eastern Europe plays an important role, because it is considered a more premium region than modern Southeast Asia.
Team Spirit roster
At this major, TS is playing with a new mid player, but he fits the roster perfectly. Larl shows that it is no worse than the departed TORONTOTOKYO, and in some respects, such as laning, perhaps better.
Team Spirit Players
- Yatoro
- Larl
- collapse
- Mira
- Miposhka
Spirit lost 3 maps and failed in some places - that's a fact. In general, the “dragons” roster looks very combat-ready and efficient.
Team Spirit made it to the Lima Major taking second place in the home league. The Miposhk-i team won 6 matches, losing the last match against BB.
Spirit played at two commercial tournaments: BB Xmas Show and BB Universe - Comics Zone. Both of Spirit's commercial championships finished in second place.
The first match of the Lima Major 2023 group stage ended well for Spirit. “Dragons” expectedly beat their opponents from TSM, but in the next meeting the situation changed dramatically.
In the match against GG Team Spirit, they looked toothless. The European club closed the meeting dry.
On the second day, Team Spirit played against two big opponents. First, we finished a draw with PSG.LGD, and then we won against the hosts of Lima Major 2023 - EG.
Heroes Team Spirit
Spirit's approach to drafting hasn't changed much since the end of DPC 2023: WEU - Upper Division. The Dragons are still happy to use Tusk (9 matches, 77% wins), Snapfire (9 matches, 77% wins), Rubick (8 games, 75% wins).
Mirana is chosen a little less often (6 matches, 50% of wins). Even rarer are Natures Prophet, Sniper (6 games each, 60% win rate) and Tiny (6 matches, 40% win rate).
Talon Esports Uniform
Let's continue the review of the match with an analysis of the game form of Talon Esports. In this match, they play in the status of a catch-up.
Moreover, they are so far behind, as if they are grazing the rear in the standings. Bookmakers absolutely do not believe in the victory of Talon Esports: the odds for such an event are around 7.
In principle, you can understand bookmakers. Talon Esports had a tough season, barely jumping on the last train to Lima, but the team is experiencing a renaissance at the Major itself, and this must be reckoned with.
Talon Espots line-up
First of all, the key to the victories of Talon Esports is the composition of the club. The team management managed to bring together quite combat-ready people from Southeast Asia.
Talon Esports Players
- 23savage
- Mikoto
- Jabz
- Q
- Oli
Of all the teams in this tournament, it is Talon Esports that pleasantly surprises. Few people expected anything from them, but so far the result is excellent.
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.
However, I had to play in tiebreaks. There, Talon beat Blacklist 2-0.
The team played at the M.Invitational championship, where Talon managed to get into the TOP-4, which can not be called a good result. She also took part in BTS Pro Series Season 14, where she took TOP-1.
In the first match of the group stage, they played with Gaimin Gladiators. They showed the fight and deservedly took the card, using their heroes, which I warned about in that analysis.
The second game was even more interesting. Talon Esports shut out their colleagues from Execration with a 2-0 win in a head-to-head derby.
The second game day brought Talon a fighting draw against Evil Geniuses and a clear victory over Team SoloMid. All this together allows you to be on the second line of the standings.
Heroes Talon Espots
Talon has very specific peaks. The team uses Rubick (10 matches, 9 wins), Tusk (9 games, 77% wins), but they also pick Elder Titan (8 matches, 100% wins), Templar Assassin (8 games, 100% wins).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in official matches. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Match outcome
In the duel between TS and Talon, I expect a bright fight. The latter are intriguing, using the author's developments, expressed in the peaks of atypical heroes.
I believe in Talon and I think that they can get hooked on the map.
Result: +1.5 on Talon.
Talon Esports is the 18th team in the world ranking. After TI, we managed to play enough matches to evaluate them. Firstly, at DPC I expected a much stronger performance from them. I would like to see them in 1st place, considering how poorly Fnatic and BOOM performed. But they are located only on the 3rd line, passing Execration and GeekFam in front of them. Maybe they don't rate DPC much, but it's still not clear to me. On BTS Pro Series S14, they show total domination, moving around the upper bracket without any problems, and in the finals they even closed Fnatic 3:0. In their first match in the Major, they managed to win a card from Gaimin Gladiators, and in the second they confidently won 2:0 Execration.
Team Spirit. 8th team in the world ranking. At their last tournament of the past year, BetBoom Xmas Show took 2nd place, losing in the final to Gaimin Gladiators with a score of 2:3. At the first DPC in their region, they played 7 matches, of which they managed to win 6. They lost only in the last match of BetBoom 1:2. I can’t say that the opponents didn’t have a chance, but in some important aspects, the spiritualists always turned out to be stronger. BB Universe Ep 1 also proved to be a success for the team. We took 2nd place on it, losing in the final to Tundra Esports 2:3. They confidently start the Major with a 2-0 victory over TSM, but in the next match they can't do anything with Gaimin Gladiators. They fight to a draw with PSG.LGD and confidently outrun EG 2:0.
Expected a better performance from TS. We couldn't even fight for the map against GG and gave the map to not the strongest LGD. But nevertheless, one gets the impression that if the Talons are banned from the monkey and the pack, they will not be able to win in any case. I think Spirit can handle it.
I'm a bettor, I live only by this. I devote all my time to this. There are no more interests.
I have been running my business for quite a long time and have achieved some success in this. Believe me or not - everyone's business. But why not try? Maybe you like this life too!
Team Spirit win!
