Welcome to EGamersWorld!
We've put together a betting tip for Team Aster vs Team Spirit in the first round of the lower net at ESL One Berlin Major 2023. The skill-based games start here.
In the first duel of the pro-life matches, we will see a clash of regions and styles. Refreshed Aster will play against shaky Team Spirit in a bo3 match.
After watching the teams play in the group stage of the ESL One Berlin Major 2023, we can tell you what to expect in the upcoming clash, which teams will leave the championship, and which will continue on their way to the championship.
Let's get started.
Team Spirit formation
Let's start with the analysis of the Team Spirit vs Team Aster match by taking a look at Team Spirit's uniforms. The Dragons are the favourites, as indicated by the odds in the bookies.
The odds on Team Spirit's victory are estimated at around 1.5. Such a figure is not taken out of thin air, and here's why:
Team Spirit have played the regular season well. In the DPC 2023: EEU Upper Division Team Spirit finished in the top 2, which earned them a trip to Berlin.
Team Spirit play on the international stage and are as good as Team Aster. Spirit also finished in top-2 in the first DPC season before going to the Lima Major 2023.
The first major of the season was a kind of "warm-up" event for Team Spirit. TS played at the tournament of such level for the first time with the new mid-laner, but the result left much to be desired - they didn't manage to get higher than TOP-8, but even such a position is pretty good considering the above mentioned.
- Team Spirit line-up: Yatoro, Larl, Collapse, Mira, Miposhka .
In addition to The Lima Major 2023, Team Spirit took part in DreamLeague Season 19. The big $1,000,000 tournament finished in the top 10 for TS, which is hardly a good result.
In Berlin, Spirit did not lose a single series in the group, which allowed them to reach the top of the play-offs. There, however, they were waited for there by Gaimin Gladiators, who didn't feel the Dragons in the first map and beat them in class in the second.
Now here we are.
Team Spirit's most popular heroes
Team Spirit's top most chosen character is Crystal Maiden. The character has appeared in spades 6 times and has an 83% win rate.
In addition to CM, Disruptor and Underlord are both valued, having been spiked 5 times each with an 80% win rate. Also had Skywrath Mage (4 matches, 100% wins), Doom (4 matches, 75% wins), PL, Viper, Slark, Riki appeared 3 times each and has 100% wins.
Ready to believe in Eastern Europe in the person of Team Spirit - bet on the victory of Team Spirit with odds in the region of 1.5.
We will talk about Team Aster.
Team Aster Form
Let's continue the analysis of the match with Team Aster's form. The team from China will play as underdogs in this encounter.
The bookmakers will give odds of just over 2.3 for Team Aster to win. They're a comfortable bet for the Chinese representatives.
Team Aster have been struggling all season long, but The Berlin Major 2023 could be the starting point for the Chinese representative. Prior to the Berlin tournament, the Aster were not doing so well:
In the first round of the DPC 2023, Team Aster "gave away" the region's top seed, Ledgeiv at the PSG.LGD. Following a Top-2 in DPC 2023: China Upper Division, Team Aster went to Peru, where they played an "average" game, with Monet and company finishing in the Top-8, exactly like Spirit in that tournament.
In the second round of DPC 2023: China Upper Division Team Aster finished in the top 4, which was already noticeably worse than the last time. However, that was enough to qualify for The Berlin Major 2023, and before that, Aster played at DreamLeague S19.
As part of DreamLeague S19, Aster played in the top 9-10. Again, so did Spirit.
- Team Aster line-up: Monet, SumaiL, Xxs, BoBoKa, Siamese C.
Another similarity between Spirit and Aster lies in the team's roster. Spirit played with the new mid-laner at The Lima Major 2023, while Aster played with the new mid-laner at The Berlin Major 2023, and with what kind of a mid-laner.
SumaiL has seriously changed Team Aster's approach to the game and given them the opportunity to relieve Monet of his role as the team's sole rusher. SumaiL is doing it, and it's coming out well.
At The Berlin Major 2023, they finished 5th in the group with an 8-8 score. And they made it to the play-offs after the replay.
The most popular Team Aster heroes
Rubick was the most frequently picked, with 6 matches, 50% wins. There was also Keeper of The Light, Storm Spirit (5 games, 80% wins).
There was Monkey King, Underlord, Terrorblade, and Pugna (4 matches each, 75% wins).
If you're ready to believe in SumaiL in this bo3 - bet on Aster victory with odds in the region of 2.3.
The teams haven't played each other before, so we won't have any additional information for a successful bet.
Predicted Team Spirit - Aster result
In this match I expect a full-fledged Bo3. The teams are virtually identical in terms of performance before the tournament, but in the event itself Spirit look a little better. However, I do not want to forget about the SumaiL factor and you should not.
Pakistani mid laner is still a serious performer, as proven by virtually all Aster matches. I don't think Larl will be able to hold his own against such a formidable SumaiL who the whole team will be playing for.
Bottom line: +2.5 total/winning for Team Aster.
