Taking part groups at BTS Professional Collection S13 Americas
All eyes on South America
SA groups are the brand new craze on the town, even the North American powerhouse, Evil Geniuses, is keen for one.
Bestcoast and Thunder Awaken‘s unicorn roster comes into the body as probably the most achieved SA squad in TI historical past. TA scouted the roster after TI10, which previously performed for NoPing esports. Whereas the latter org ultimately fail to construct a crew that rivals its predecessors, TA went on to make historical past.
Sadly, even a promising line-up reminiscent of TA’s doesn’t final lengthy as all TA gamers departed proper after TI11. However, TA will ultimately showcase its new line-up at BTS Professional Collection S13 as group stage begins on November 25. This may clarify why TA solely obtained a Part 2 slot regardless of their nice accomplishment at TI11.
Whereas, their native rival, beastcoast boasts a assured roster, that includes two former TA gamers, Herrera “DarkMago” Gonzalo and Rafael “Sacred” Yonatan. The 2 carry gamers have been credited for a lot of essential performs throughout their time in TA, so beastcoast’s determination to recruit them may simply be a game-changer for beastcoast going into DPC 2023. Sadly, it’s the top of an period for the previous TI9 Notorious roster with two founding gamers out.
North American powerhouses
It’s a rough off-season for North American Dota 2 teams, as all their representatives drop like flies at TI11. Whereas EG seems to be to play on the SA area for a extra promising crew and inexpensive division, TeamSoloMid stays true to the NA roots.
However, they’ve just lately introduced the departure of Kim “DuBu” Doo-young, whereas there has not been any information on the opposite gamers. That is uncommon, contemplating a roster change of solely the arduous assist participant would imply completely nothing when DuBu wasn’t their captain/drafter beforehand. Therefore, we would simply see TSM shock the fanbase with a extra drastic roster shuffle.
Nouns additionally just lately introduced the departure of Guilherme “Costabile” Costábile and Nicolas “Gunnar” Lopez, their carry duo. It is a breath of recent air since new carry gamers redefine the crew’s playstyle altogether.
The Large Reveal
It wouldn’t be too farfetched to foretell the ultimate invite may simply be for Evil Geniuses. The slot in Part 3 is for high candidates within the scene, so we will solely anticipate the most important namesakes to be in that slot. Since EG hasn’t introduced their official roster but, it appears pure that BTS Professional Collection S13 Americas saved their remaining invite underneath closed doorways.
After all, the much less thrilling potential invite might simply be Quincy Crew (previously Soniqs). EG hasn’t participated in BTS Professional Collection for a number of seasons, so the chances of getting EG debut their new roster right here may simply be too good to be true.
Regardless, the BTS Professional Collection S13 Americas incorporates a narrative into what we will anticipate from the Americas area at DPC 2023. With SA groups being the distinguished one, NA groups have to choose up their tempo momentarily.
