BetBoom Team vs Outsiders Match Preview, Live Stream, Odds, Picks & Predictions

The Winner Qualifies for ESL One Stockholm Major

BetBoom Team will be facing Outsiders on April 30 at the upper bracket finals of the DPC EEU Tour 2 playoffs. BetBoom Team came into the playoffs as the 8th seed and managed to upset The International champions Team Spirit in the first round. They went on to defeat Natus Vincere quite convincingly and now come into this match looking like a strong contender for a spot in the major. The team trying to take down BBT is Russia’s Outsiders, this roster is comprised of Virtus.pro players as they were forced to play under a neutral name due to the sanction imposed on the Russian organization because of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Before the tournament began, BetBoom Team wouldn’t be even close to being considered a team capable of securing a spot for the ESL One Stockholm major, but the conversation has changed drastically. The team captained by SoNNeikO has proven to be one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Europe region and they won’t give the Outsiders an easy time in this match. Outsiders already took down one CIS Rejects, which is one of the two teams that was promoted from Division II, the other one being the BetBoom Team. This matchup is turning out to be one of the best we’ll have in the playoffs so let’s get into our selection for our esports pick of the day.

From Worst Team, to Best Team

BetBoom Team was placed against the strongest participant of the tournament Team Spirit. If we look at their most recent results, there was no clear indicator that made us think that BBT would be able to convincingly take down the TI10 champions. They had positive results, but it wasn’t necessarily against the strongest teams in the world. Just a week ago they played the Dota 2 Champions League Season 9 grand finals where they took down 3-2 Gambit Esports, and the day before they defeated Virtus.pro.

Their latest match against Team Spirit is the one everybody is talking about. BetBoom started the series by winning the first game after 55 minutes of pure chaos. It’s not that uncommon for the underdogs to take 1 game out in a series. Team Spirit managed to even the score after winning the second game quite convincingly. The unexpected happened in the third game when BetBoom switched things around in their draft and took down Team Spirit securing a spot in the winners’ bracket semi-finals.

Natus Vincere tried to stop BetBoom’s run but they weren’t able to do it. BetBoom lost the first game of the series against the strong late-game-oriented draft from Na’Vi. Game 2 of the series was a complete stomp from BetBoom as they managed to close it out by the 32-minute mark. In game 3, Na’Vi had a better game but it wasn’t enough to take down the now favorites according to the dota odds.

Outsiders’ Revenge Opportunity

The Outsiders run so far this tournament has been nothing short of solid. They started the tournament facing CIS Rejects in a best-of-3 series. The Rejects were swinging hard right off the gates as they defeated the Outsiders in a very exhausting 52-minute game. After some changes in their draft, Outsiders was able to take down CIS Rejects in a convincing fashion 2 games in a row. Now they had to face the Ukrainian organization Mind Games, the team that recently took down PuckChamp. This series was not a challenge at all for the Outsiders as they took them down twice in less than 70 minutes of total playtime.

We have to mention the most important thing about this matchup, the Outsiders’ roster recently fell against BetBoom Team in the Dota 2 Champions League Season 9 semi-finals. The interesting thing is that they were able to take down Gambit Esports quite convincingly, and let’s remember that Gambit Esports went all the way to 5 games against BBT in the grand finals. It is very clear that if the Outsiders play their best game then they’ll have a big chance at taking down BetBoom Team.

BetBoom Team vs Outsiders Predictions

The most recent head-to-head went in favor of BetBoom Team when they took down Virtus. pro 2-1 at the Dota 2 Champions League Season 9 semi-finals. The last game of the series was a complete stomp by BetBoom Team as they closed out the game before the 24-minute mark.

There is only one scenario where I see Outsiders taking this series home. If BetBoom Team has a very bad day or somehow botches their drafts, then there is a huge possibility for Outsiders to score a victory. But I believe that BetBoom Team has been playing consistent enough and they will have a clean series against Outsiders, taking the series home and securing a spot in the ESL One Stockholm Major backed by dota betting aficionados.
