BetBoom Team uniform
Russia's BetBoom Team are having a pretty good season, although they haven't shone at Major tournaments in the ranking season. The season started with a convincing win at the DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I, where the players earned $30,000 in prize money, 300 DPC points and a trip to the Major tournament in Lima. Lima Major 2023 ended rather quickly for Save- and the team. For 15th-16th place BetBoom Team did not receive any prizes. Third place in the DPC EEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I earned them $27,000, 160 ranking points and a trip to Berlin for the Berlin Major 2023. Before travelling to the German capital, BetBoom Team finished in 9th-16th place at Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1. At ESL One Berlin Major 2023, the Russian club finished in 13th-14th place, once again coming up empty-handed. Silver at DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division I, in addition to $28,000, secured the team an invitation to The International 2023 based on the total DPC points earned during the season. At the next tournament in the Pinnacle Cup series, Save- and his teammates were able to rehabilitate themselves by finishing second in the standings and earning $8,000 in prize money. The team's first significant achievement of the year was DreamLeague Season 20, where BetBoom Team reached the finals and Ledgeili Gaimin Gladiators by a score of 2-3, earning $175,000. Bali Major 2023, the third and final Major event of the season, the Russian team also failed, finishing in 9th-12th place.
The last tournament before travelling to Yerevan for BetBoom Team was the Riyadh Masters 2023, a LAN championship in Saudi Arabia with an impressive prize pool of $15,000,000. BB Team received a direct invitation to the group stage of the tournament, bypassing Play-In thanks to their successful performance at DreamLeague Season 20. As a result of the group stage draw, Save- and team found themselves in Group B. There the team demonstrated a convincing game, defeating six opponents and losing only to Team Secret.

Team Secret uniforms
Team Secret have dropped significantly in both their season and overall level of play this year. Although a year ago Puppey and his teammates won silver at The International 2022. The DPC 2023 ranking season started for Team Secret with a disappointing eighth place at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I, where the players played with a 1-6 statistic, received $22,000 as a consolation prize and dropped to the second division. A convincing win over lesser opponents on DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II put them back into the top 8 of the region and earned them $17,000. The third round of the DPC Team Secret failed again, playing to the same score as the first round. Puppey and his team were thus relegated to the second division and had to play qualification for The International 2023. The 11th-12th place at DreamLeague Season 20 brought Team Secret $20,000. Only TS's participation in Riyadh Masters 2023 smoothed out the season financially. The tournament in Saudi Arabia brought the team $300,000 for 9th-12th place in the standings.
Prior to participating in BetBoom Dacha Team Secret took part in The International 2023 - Western Europe Qualifier. Puppey and team started their qualification for the Dota 2 Western Europe World Championship in the top set with a match against OG. The victory on two maps in a row ensured their passage to the semi-finals. There Team Secret could not cope with Entity and, having lost two maps, lost the right to make a mistake. In the quarter-finals of the lower grid Team Secret defeated Level UP with the score 2:0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the losers. A 1-2 loss to Quest Esports denied Puppey and his teammates a chance to qualify for The International 2023.
Team Secret's recent results stats:
- A 1-2 defeat to Quest Esports
- A 2-0 win over Level UP.
- 0:2 loss to Entity
- 2:0 win over OG
- 0:2 defeat by 9Pandas
