BetBoom Team vs Virtus.pro : Match recap and highlights
Recap
Both teams had undergone a total roster rebuild during the off-season, however Virtus.pro were forced to find a new carry right before the start of the season following Kamil "Koma`" Biktimirov’s permanent ban.
While Virtus.pro were able to find a new replacement in Alexandr "krylat" Krylatov, many were siding with BetBoom Team ahead of the match mostly due to its quality of players within the team.
Game One
Game One saw total domination by BetBoom Team as it drafted a core trio of Lina carry, Death Prophet in the midlane and Dragon Knight in the offlane.
While Virtus.pro tried to stall the game in order to achieve their item timings in the mid-game phase, BetBoom Team’s early aggression paid off as they constantly forced Virtus.pro to fight them on their terms. Additionally, BetBoom Team did not give Virtus.pro any space as the latter tapped out after 39 minutes, giving BetBoom Team the victory.
Game One saw the trio of Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko, Danil "gpk" Skutin and Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko as the main highlight of the match, as the trio had a total of 38 kills with each player having more than 10 kills.
Game Two
Virtus.pro were looking to bounce back from its embarrassing performance in Game One, as it drafted Chaos Knight for Krylat and a Batrider in the midlane for Ilya "squad1x" Kuvaldin while BetBoom opted for a more mobile lineup, retaining the Death Prophet while also picking up Ursa and Leshrac.
While the early game was more even between both teams as opposed to Game One, BetBoom Team’s ruthless aggression saw the match being a repeat of the previous game as they claimed Roshan before the 20th minute mark and a sizable net worth advantage.
Despite Pure’s Ursa having little impact, the duo of gpk’s Leshrac & Nightfall’s Death Prophet saw the game through for BetBoom Team as they claimed Game Two after 33 minutes.
Following the match, BetBoom Team are currently in second place as they had only begun their DPC campaign today. However, many within the community are convinced that BetBoom Team has what it takes to dethrone the likes of Virtus.pro and Team Spirit. BetBoom Team’s next opponents might prove to be more challenging, as it will face Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin’s HellRaisers on 14th January.
