BetBoom Dacha - Main Event. Group stage. Second game day. Group B. The second match in Group B promises to be just as thrilling as the first. I would go so far as to say that it seems less predictable and more evenly matched. In this contest, beastcoast will be battling it out with this year's top team, none other than Gaimin Gladiators.
South America's beastcoast has shown strength in the first two seasons and put on quite a show at the last major tournament, proving their might against the Evil Geniuses. However, they had a bit of a slump in the latest season and had to make changes. Consequently, Hector K1 Rodriguez was replaced by David Parker Nihon Hote. Surprisingly, the team managed to make it past the first round of the loser's bracket at the major tournament, a feat they had not accomplished before. Thus, the changes, which initially seemed odd, turned out to be beneficial. Now they are entering the tournament as a dark horse. Their performance at the Riyadh Masters has not been seen for one and a half months; the current form of the team and how well they can perform on Lan is questionable. Notable, given the quick pace of the tournament, with group stages and playoffs each lasting just three days - there won't be much time to acclimatise.
As the reigning champions, the Gaimin Gladiators won five out of six tournaments this year, including all three major matches. They also triumphed in both DreamLeague Season 19 and DreamLeague Season 20. However, they fell short at Riyadh Masters, a high-stakes tournament with a 15 million dollar prize. Now, they have an opportunity to redeem themselves here in the BetBoom Dacha tournament. Assessing their current form is tricky as they haven't seen much action in the past one and a half months. Many players admit to taking a break for the last month, which adds to the intriguing question of their current status heading into the tournament. Nonetheless, we anticipate outstanding performance from the Gaimin Gladiators, especially considering their unfinished business from the last tournament.
Beastcoast and Gaimin Gladiators have encountered each other in four matches so far. Of these, GG have emerged stronger three times, with one match ending in a draw.
It is unsurprising that Gaimin Gladiators are seen as the favourites for this match by bookmakers, with the odds for their victory pegged at 2.03. The possibility of a draw appears next plausible outcome at 2.10, according to Betsiti. The odds for a beastcoast victory seem bleak at 6.90. My suggestion would be to place a bet on a draw at 2.10. Since both teams have not played for one and a half months and are still acclimatising themselves to the tournament, the odds for a draw seem quite high.
