Aurora vs Team Secret Prediction: the Asian Squad Will Earn Points

Prediction for the DreamLeague Season match, which will take place on February 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Aurora

In DreamLeague Season 22, the Asian team is playing with a substitute. Instead of Armel, Lorenof from Team Tickles pulls the team to the next level. The replacement is temporary. But there are different rumors around Aurora. If the Asians perform poorly in the DreamLeague, the roster replacements might not be that temporary. Aurora came to Dota 2 via Southeast Asia and, in the process, snagged the region's best roster for 2023, Talon Esports. Aurora signed the entire Talon roster except for Mikoto, who joined Bleed Esports. In his place, 23savage, Jabz, Q, and Oli were joined by Armel from Team Secret. They were the highest-scoring team in the Asian region in 2023 and the fourth by points in the world, but things did not go well in the new season. Their first appearance in 2024 qualified them for the DreamLeague Season 22. The Aurora players struggled but won, almost losing in the final to Team Darleng (3:2). But that final was the first sign of failure, which happened in the ESL One Birmingham 2024 qualifiers. They lost first to Neon Esports (1-2) and then to Execration (1-2). The Asians were directly invited to the BetBoom Dacha, but their tonus raised many questions. But the exit to the next DreamLeague group stage is almost decided, though some points are still to be gained.

Team Secret

After missing out on The International 2023 and finishing seventh at ESL One Kuala Lumpur, Team Secret had to change their roster. The team said goodbye to MidOne and signed Kordan. MidOne's departure was a surprise, as he returned to Team Secret at the end of 2023 after three years with OG and Team SMG. Ekki, who previously served as an assistant coach at Secret before leaving to join Wisla Krakow and TSM, has also joined the team. However, this time, he returns to Secret not as a coach but as a support. Ekki will replace Yamich, who will move to the bench after almost a year in the team. Secret's expectations remain unpretentious, but with the numerous changes in the roster, this could be the right time to make a breakthrough. Still, things are not going so smoothly in the tournament's group stage. They have only one defeat (to Shopify Rebellion) in the last two days but no victories. Three draws keep Secret in the game, but the European team needs wins.

Expert Betting Tips

Both rosters have players from the Asian region, so it's kind of a mini-derby. Points are crucial, especially for the European team, but Aurora is on such a roll that it will be hard to stop them.
