Welcome back to EGamersWorld!
We have prepared a betting tip for the BB Team - 9 Pandas match on day 3 of the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023. The Eastern European derby will open the second round of Group A clashes.
Looking ahead, it should be noted that the game promises to be hot. A derby in 2023 will be difficult to surprise, but the Berlin Major 2023 will put a whole new twist on the show.
We will tell you what to expect from the confrontation, whether one of the sides can win the match and improve the already good position in the standings.
BB Team Form
We'll start the analysis with the game form of the upcoming meeting's favourites - BB Team. The DPC betting odds favour the top team in the first leg with a winning percentage around 2.7.
Before the Berlin Major 2023, it would have been impossible to pick the BB as the underdog, but the German tournament has made its adjustments. The BB Team now looks like the strongest team from Eastern Europe at The Berlin Major 2023.
The BB Team had a really tough time before the Long Championships. After winning DPC 2023: Tour I, but completely failing at The Lima Major 2023, BB Team started to stagnate: Top 3 at DPC 2023: Tour II, Top 12 at Pinnacle Cup: Malta VIbes #1 and no entry to DreamLeague S19.
It seemed that BB Team could be written off the list of contenders for the top play-offs grid, but a patch intervened. The release of patch 7.33 cheered the team up, and the stand-in and re-structuring of the roles within the squad also had an impact.
- BB Team line-up: Nightfall, gpk, Resolut1ion, Save, TORONTOTOKYO .
Team Pure did not make it to Berlin. Before the start of the tournament it seemed to be a shock for the BB, but Nightfall, who returned to the carry role, was quick to take over and due to the popularity of his signature characters showed a good performance.
The BB Team managed to surprise the public on several occasions before the Long Sogpeg match. The team is in 2nd place and has a 1-3 series statistic.
BB Team has already drawn against the three main contenders for the top slot: Aster, Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators. In addition, BB have beaten TSM, which puts them in a very advantageous position ahead of the game against 9 Pandas.
BB Team's most popular characters
The most popular and successful BB Team character in the Berlin Major is Phantom Lancer (3 matches, 100% wins). In addition, Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Pudge and Storm Spirit have played 3 times each and all have a 2-1 score.
Otherwise, everything is the same: there's Ember and Death Prophet, and Ursa and Undying. Still playing Terrorblade (2 matches, 50% win), but Phantom Lancer is still stronger.
If you're ready to believe in BB Team's dominance in this match - pick them as the winner of the match at odds of 2.7.
We'll talk about the 9 Pandas' game form on the other hand.
Form 9 Pandas
We continue our BB Team vs 9 Pandas betting tip with a round-up of the latter's form. 9 Pandas will play as the underdog in this match with the odds of winning around 4.2.
Such a figure does not come out of nowhere, although, before the Berlin Major 2023 Long Cong, it seemed that 9 Pandas would have the advantage here. This was indicated by the performance prior to the Long Conger Championship, mirroring that of BB.
In the first round of DPC 2023, Pandas finished in the top 3 and attended The Lima Major 2023. At the first Major tournament, the team reached the play-offs but did not progress beyond the first round.
Already in the second round of DPC 2023, the Solo team finished in first place and in addition won the Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1. The progress can be seen with the naked eye, but at The Berlin Major 2023, the team, like BB Team, has to play with substitutes.
- The line-up of 9 Pandas: Ramzes, Kiyotaka. MieRo, Antares, RodjER.
The substitution looks more global than that of the BB Team. RodjER has to replace Solo, who was not able to get the visa in time and it is not clear whether he will get it at all. However, the effectiveness in the group stage is not much of an obstacle.
Before Long Song match, 9 Pandas had a 1-4 stat, and they're 4-2 on the cards. The scoreline is almost like BB's: draws against Liquid and Aster and a win over TSM.
The most popular 9 Pandas heroes
Alchemist still remains in the top picks. The hero has appeared in spades 4 times and has a 100% win rate. Among frequently used heroes are Techies (3 matches, 66% win rate), Doom (3 matches, 66% win rate).
Also played with Doom, Tiny (2 matches, 100% wins), and also Skywrath Mage (2 matches, 50% wins).
Ready to put your faith in 9 Pandas with a substitute in the slot of five and captain - pick 9 Pandas to win the game at odds in the region of 4.2.
9 Pandas - BB Team personal match history
The teams have played twice in the DPC 2023 and also in the Lima Major 2023. BB Team won the first round, but lost in the second round and at the Lima Major 2023.
Predicted result of the BB Team vs 9 Pandas match
In this game, I see the most obvious result as a draw. The teams are virtually identical in this tournament, as evidenced by the performance and tag teams they have played.
In addition, both teams play with stand-ins and also know each other well from DPC 2023: EEU Upper Division. In general, it should be hot and without a winner, although at The Berlin Major 2023 every now and then interesting things happen, so I will not be surprised to see one of the sides win.
Bottom line: a draw.
