Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to review what's going on at BB Dacha. We are slowly closing the third game day in the group stage.
I remind you that according to the results of the group stage 6 teams will go to play-offs and only 2 will leave the tournament prematurely. Closing the third game day will be teams from the quartet B.
9 Pandas and Beastcoast will have their face-to-face meeting. The game promises to be heated, because both clubs claim to qualify for the play-offs from the second place, so we need to score points here and there.
Let's see if one of the clubs can get a clean win and improve their position in the standings, or if we will see a draw and another round of "misunderstandings".
Let's go.
Form 9 Pandas
Let's open the match analysis with an analysis of 9 Pandas' form. In this match they are playing as favourites.
Bookmakers believe in 9 Pandas no matter what. The odds for their victory are at around 2.5.
Average for bo2, not really indicating a critical advantage for the favourite. Especially 9 Pandas has no where to take it from, given the level of play at BB Dacha.
9 Pandas started the year in third place at DPC 2023: EEU Division 1 Tour 1. However, at the first international tournament of the year - The Lima Major 2023 - while still under the HellRaisers banner, they managed to get out of the group with stand-ins. \
In the second season of DPC, 9Pandas made it to the top 1, beating all direct competitors, namely Team Spirit and BB Team. In addition, 9Pandas surprised everyone at The Berlin Major 2023. In Germany, the Pandas made it to the Top 3, which was the best result for the region in a year.
The third DPC cycle of 9Pandas ended with qualification to the last Major of the season - The Bali Major 2023 - with a third-place finish in the home league. Next up was the DreamLeague S20
- 9Pandas roster: RAMZES, kiyotaka, MieRo, Antares, Solo.
All year long the team has been gaining in performance and this applies primarily to the international scene. At DreamLeague S20 it was top 7, and at Bali Major 2023 it was top 6.
Before BB Dacha 9 Pandas made their mark with a performance at the Riyadh Masters 2023. There, the team finished in the Top 6, Ledgeiv in a match to advance to the Top 4 of Talon Esports.
At BB Dacha 9, Pandas made their debut with a game against Gaimin Gladiators. The best team in the world proved to be a few goals above the Pandas and closed out the series in less than an hour.
In the previous match, 9 Pandas played against the worst team of their group, Nigma Galaxy. "Pandas" won, but with great difficulty and it was especially hard on the first map, where 9 Pandas had to comeback from a solid deficit.
Most popular 9 Pandas characters
The most piqued character of 9 Pandas is Skywrath Mage. He has appeared in Pandas games 6 times and has 3 wins.
He is followed by Bounty Hunter (4 matches, 50% wins), Tiny (3 matches, 66% wins), Bloodseeker (3 matches, 33% wins). Also glimpsed in the pool are Chen and Doom (2 matches each, 100% wins), and Enchantress (2 matches, 50% wins).
Beastcoast Form
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of Beastcoast's match form. In this match, they have been given the role of catching up.
For some reason bookmakers don't have much faith in BC. The odds for their victory are at around 4.5.
I understand that during the season 9 Pandas looked better than Beastcoast, but at BB Dacha they are no better than the Peruvians. As far as I'm concerned, the match will be even.
The team won the first season of the DPC league at home, taking the top 1 with zero losses. Yes, they were a bit unlucky on the international stage: Lima Major 2023 ended for bc at the top-12, and it was their regional colleagues Evil Geniuses that kept them out of the next DPC cycle.
Later beastcoast played at DPC 2023 SA Tour 2 Division 1, where the result was identical: 7-0 in the regular season and a pass to ESL One Berlin Major 2023. The international stage for beastcoast is not this season - Berlin ended for them in the top 14, even worse than The Lima Major 2023.
In between was DreamLeague S19, where bc played so-so, but better than at Major ahs. The team finished top 6 there and that's the best score for them so far on The International ernational stage.
In the third round of DPC 2023: SA Division 1 beastcoast were already in the top 2. EG have fully climbed to the first place of the domestic league.
- Beastcoast line-up: Parker, DarkMago, Sacred, Scofield, Stinger.
After the end of the regular season in South America Beastcoast visited the last Major of the season - Bali Major 2023. There Peruvians took the top 8 and guaranteed their place at The International 2023.
Before BB Dacha BC had time to play at Riyadh Masters 2023, where they showed not the best performance. The Peruvians failed miserably in the biggest commercial tournament of the season, finishing in the top 20 after losing to a tired TSM.
In the first match at BB Dacha Beastcoast played against Nigma Galaxy. Overall, it was easy and the Peruvians closed with a 2-0 lead, but Nigma pulled away in the second, for which they are of course a plus.
In the match before that, Beastcoast played against Gaimin Gladiators. It ended rather predictably - 2-0 in favour of GG - although before the match it seemed that BC could fight and clinch at least a map.
The most popular beastcoast heroes
Beastcoast has Tusk and Snapfire as their most favoured characters. Both characters have appeared in the Peruvian Club peak 6 times, with Tusk having a 66% winrate and Snapfire having a 33% winrate.
Enchantress (5 matches, 60% win rate) and Tiny (5 matches, 40% win rate) appear in the picks. In addition, Terrorblade (4 matches, 100% wins), Pangolier (4 matches, 75% wins), and Batrider (4 matches, 50% winrate) appear.
History of head-to-head meetings
Previously, the teams have played each other three times during the season. All matches were won by 9 Pandas.
Predicted result of 9 Pandas vs Beastcoast on BB Dacha
The 9 Pandas advantage can be believed solely because of their head-to-head history. If we take into account the results only on BB Dacha, there is parity. By the way, I will do so, and at the same time believe in the Peruvians' success on at least one card.
Bottom line: +1.5 on BC.
