BOOM - Bleed predictions and free betting tips [27/08/2023]

The International 2023 — Qualifiers. Southeast Asia. Upper bracket. The first game day of the qualifiers. The fourth match of the upper bracket and the finale of the entire game day, which will become the longest in these qualifiers and the largest in terms of the number of matches. BOOM Esports versus Bleed Esports will be deciding who will advance further in the upper bracket, and who would drop to the lower one.

BOOM Esports

Surprisingly, BOOM Esports became the favourites. The team shook the Southeast Asian transfer market. The transfer, or more precisely, lease of E BoBoKa Ji Biao looks like a real boost for the team that kicked off from the first division last season. Furthermore, they have Jian Wei xNova Yap and Erin Yopaj Jasper Ferrer in the lineup, very well-known and powerful players. It's hard to predict how this squad will perform in these qualifiers - the lineup is pretty solid, and just because they didn’t fare well in the recent seasons means nothing; now the run to TI12 starts anew, and it’s starting from the upper bracket for them, which already eases their task. Hence, BOOM Esports can be considered, if not the favourites, certainly a team that, if it wins, will not cause a huge surprise.

Bleed Esports

A match in the lower part of the upper bracket, the second team in ratings after Execration, it also has many experienced and renowned players in the lineup. Daryl Koh iceiceice Pei Xiang, Djardel DJ Mampusti and Du Young DuBu Kim will be attempting to make it to yet another The International for themselves. Moreover, they even won the last season of the first division of this region, hence, they have 500 points in the DPC rating. Yes, they couldn't achieve any result at the major itself, but on the flip side, it's not really important how the team performed on the global stage now; it matters that they were already the strongest in the region and now they just have to repeat the last season. Whether they'll manage is a big question, because the competitors are very strong, but the team unquestionably is one of the favourites.

Face-to-face meetings

BOOM Esports and Bleed Esports faced each other 2 times. Both times Bleed Esports turned out to be stronger, once with a score of 2:1, the second time with a score of 2:0.

Predictions

Betscity heavily believes in Bleed Esports in this confrontation. The team, which has many experienced players who participated in the main tournament of the year, face odds of 1.49 in this match. In the meantime, their opponents from BOOM Esports, also boasting numerous quality players, only go for 2.50. I wouldn't risk betting on the favourite's victory, after all, BOOM Esports had a very good off-season and reinforced their lineup, so I would be cautious and choose the map total over (2.5) for 2.07.
