Business Associates Preview

Business Associates is a North American Dota 2 roster featuring popular players such as EternalEnvy, Brax and Sneyking. The players are extremely versatile and have a deep hero pool. Some of them are popular streamers, but the team does not lack skill or skill diversity. Business Associates received a direct invite to the tournament. Despite the abundance of skill and talent on this squad, Business Associates seems to be in a massive slump. The team has lost nearly 80% of its recent matches against teams like Thunder Predator, Infinity Esports and CR4ZY. Some of these rosters are relatively new and inexperienced compared to Business Associates. The team’s failure to get a decent understanding of the 7.27 gameplay has hurt their chances of securing a strong finish.

Business Associates is 0-1-3 in the group stage so far and has a long way to go if it wants to qualify for the upper bracket. The team often relies to old-school heroes that are not as favored in the current meta.

Midas Club Preview

Midas Club features a Brazilian Dota 2 roster and has been fairly decent in its recent matches. While the team cannot defeat the best Dota 2 teams such as Thunder Predator and Quincy Crew, it is firmly in the middle of the table. Midas Club has tied games with Quincy Crew and CR4ZY showing glimpse of its peak form.

Midas Club’s hero drafts usually favor a team-fight oriented lineup. However, their carry role is often a greedy pick-up such as Anti-Mage or Spectre, heroes that require a lot of space to farm and get the items. Midas Club has finished in the last phase of most if its recent tournaments. Despite blips of good performances, the Midas Club team still falls short compared to stronger North American Dota 2 teams.

Pick: Draw

I am taking Business Associates and the Midas Club to tie the series. Business Associates has a lot of experience and is well-known for unusual drafts that can often force opponents off their gameplan. However, the players have not been performing at par and have lost most of its recent matches. The Midas Club team has been stale in its matches and will have a significantly more difficult time to win against Business Associates.
