BetBoom Team have been one of the most consistent teams throughout the tournament and look well-positioned to book their place in the final.
After a slow start, BetBoom have won seven of their last eight matches, picking up victories against Aurora, Team Spirit, Tundra Esports, Xtreme Gaming and Falcons. Their ability to bounce back from setbacks has been impressive, and the team continues to show why they are considered one of the strongest rosters in professional Dota 2.
Team Yandex deserve credit for reaching the semi-finals, but their path has been far less convincing. While they have produced some impressive individual results, consistency remains a concern, and they have already lost multiple times to BetBoom this year.
The head-to-head record is another strong argument in favor of BetBoom. They have won three of the last four meetings between the teams, including the most recent clash during BLAST Slam VII. Historically, BetBoom have matched up very well against Team Yandex's style and have repeatedly found ways to control the series.
With superior depth, stronger recent results and a favorable head-to-head record, BetBoom Team look like the rightful favorites to advance.
