Boom E-sports vs Tundra Esports Prediction: the Teams to Share Points

On August 4, the long-awaited major in the U.S. kicks off. PGL Arlington Major 2022 will host 17 of the best teams in the world (Xtreme couldn't make it to Arlington due to visa problems), who will compete for $500,000 in prize money and 4,570 DPC points. The battle for ticketing to The International is in full swing, and the upcoming major will be decisive for many teams. All this awaits Dota 2 fans from August 4 to 14.

On August 4, Boom E-sports and Tundra Esports will play their opening match in the group stage of the PGL Arlington Major 2022. We will find out which team will be stronger very soon. The meeting is scheduled to start at 20:00.

Boom E-sports made it to the U.S. with the complete roster, which already sounds good. The team is in great shape. They took first place at Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22 for Southeast Asia, winning six matches out of a possible seven. Talon Esports had the same result at the end of the season, but Boom E-sports proved to be the region's leader in a replay with a 2-1 victory. In the closed qualifiers for ESL One Malaysia 2022, the team did not experience any problems, winning all three matches. At the same time, in the decisive game, the team again outplayed Taon Esports 2-1 and took a slot in the tournament. In their region Boom E-sports shows excellent results. The guys have won nine of their last ten matches. However, if you remember the last major, there Boom E-sports could not even get into the top 8. The team lost its first match in the lower net of the OG with a score of 0:2 and left the tournament. On the international stage, the team is struggling. The Southeast Asian region is now one of the weakest and even the best can not boast solid results in major tournaments. The PGL Arlington Major 2022 should be no exception. However, given the good form of Boom E-sports and frequent return of individual maps from Tundra Esports, we can assume that in the upcoming match, the teams will exchange victories on the maps.

Tundra Esports held the last tournament with a replacement. 33 could not go to Gamers8 Riyadh Masters 2022 because he is an Israeli citizen. Without him the team could not show a decent game and lost three out of four matches. They outplayed only Deboosters, the outsider. Nevertheless, at the PGL Arlington Major 2022 the team will play in full squad, which can not but rejoice, because Tundra Esports is one of the strongest teams in the world and should fight for the championship in the major. The complete lineup shows a great game, but we should take into account that this is a bo2 and draws can be a frequent occurrence, even for the leaders of the pro scene. Especially at DPC Tundra Esports often played the maximum number of maps and sometimes won 2:0. And the last face-to-face match between Tundra Esports and BOOM was a good fight. The Europeans took the first map confidently, but the second one they gave up for 25 minutes, giving their opponent a good advantage. However, after losing one fight, Luna and Pugna simply demolished the entire base and won the game in just a few minutes. Nevertheless, BOOM showed that they could clinch one card from even such a strong team. 

Boom E-sports is in good shape and should put up a fight Tundra Esports. Bookmakers offer odds of 2.20 on a draw, which looks like a great option.
