Into the Breach and Entity will clash on Thursday for the first time since December 2021 and the first time with their current rosters. Entity are heavy favourites which makes sense considering they placed fourth in the upper division of WEU DPC at the start of the month, and they even claimed bronze in Dota 2 Champions League Season 12 a few days before that.
Meanwhile, Into the Breach’s only notable achievement of the year was finishing runner-up in the second division of WEU DPC two weeks back. Still, ITB are on a 10-1 run since April, while their only defeat over that stretch was a 1-2 loss against Riyadh Masters 2022 quarter-finalists Nigma Galaxy.
Entity are stronger, but this is a disrespectful price on Into the Breach, who have shown that they can compete against Tier 1 opponents. Into the Breach with a map handicap at $2.20 is too good to ignore.

This affair is very similar to the first one. BetBoom Team placed fourth in EEU Tour 3 Division I, while Nemiga Gaming claimed a silver medal from the second division. Nemiga hold a respectable record, having lost just three from their last 17 outings (14-3), although most of those matches were against weaker opponents.
BetBoom are one of the strongest teams from their region, and they did well at ESL One Stockholm 2022 (7th-8th) in May, but that doesn’t explain why they are priced as $1.16 favourites. This is a regional derby between rosters that know each other well, which works in favour of the outsiders. Moreover, BetBoom Team are not very consistent, and they’ve played just seven official games since the start of June.
We can imagine BetBoom Team sweeping Nemiga, but it’s just as likely for Nemiga Gaming to steal one map.
