A chance for Team Spirit to defend their championship title. Preview of BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024
After the protracted and large-scale ESL Pro League Season 19, a more lamp-like and faster tournament awaits us – BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. The championship at home has changed its location: it has moved from UAE to Serbia. It will also mark the first appearance of Dust 2 on the competitive Counter-Strike 2 scene. The group stage of the tournament will be held according to the classic and many forgotten GSL system. Eight teams are divided into two groups in which they will play each other in BO3 matches – the two best teams will advance to the playoffs. Group A included MOUZ, Virtus.pro, Team Falcons and BetBoom Team, which replaced Cloud9 at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. Team Spirit, HEROIC, MIBR and Aurora will play in the second pot. In this material we will discuss the upcoming championship, and also identify the main favorites, teams that may surprise, and outsiders.
Top favorites BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024
Team Spirit returns after a long break after PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. The team did not perform at the past IEM Chengdu 2024 and ESL Pro League Season 19, which can be both good and bad. In general, an extra vacation from official matches never interfered, but given the prime form of Danil donk Kryshkovets at the major and the triumphant IEM Katowice 2024, the team wanted to perform right here and now and try to establish their era of dominance on the professional stage. Nevertheless, the team spent their free time usefully, gathering for a bootcamp, where they prepared new tactics and ideas. Despite the failure in the playoffs of PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, the team still remains one of the strongest in the world and is capable of beating any favorite. Their main rival FaZe Clan will not be at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, which means that Team Spirit has the best chance of winning the championship title. If this happens, the team will become a two-time BetBoom Dacha champion and win two events from the tournament operator in a row. It was with BetBoom Dacha 2023 that the path of those very Spirit who fell in love with the whole world began.
If we do not take into account the performance that Danil donk Kryshkovets can show, the main favorite of BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 would be MOUZ. The team performed well at the last major LANs and reached the grand finals for the second time in a row. It hasn’t reached the championship yet, but it’s still a huge achievement for such a young team. MOUZ will begin their journey to BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 immediately after the final day of ESL Pro League Season 19: they will only have one day to get to the venue. This will certainly affect the team’s performance and they will feel some fatigue, which will prevent them from competing with Team Spirit to their full potential.
Another team that can claim the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 championship title will be Virtus.pro. The team had a successful debut with Denis electroNic Sharipov and reached the quarterfinals at ESL Pro League Season 19. VP has not yet fully adjusted to the new player, but the team’s progress after strengthening is already visible. Before BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, the team will have some time to prepare and perhaps they will come to surprise their opponents with preparations for Dust 2. It is still difficult to say whether Virtus.pro will be able to compete with the main favorites in the form of Team Spirit and MOUZ, but they must get into the top four.
Who can surprise at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024?
BetBoom Team also got into good shape at ESL Pro League Season 19. The team does not yet reach the level of world giants, but it no longer experiences such problems with equal opponents as it did before. Cloud9’s refusal from BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 gave the team another chance to compete at the championship after a failed qualification, and they will definitely want to take advantage of it. Surprisingly, Kirill Magnojez Rodnov quickly joined the tier-1 scene and the new team, which allowed it to reach a new level in results. This is unlikely to help BetBoom Team compete for the championship title, but it is capable of surprising the favorites and reaching the top 4.
For the first time in a long time we will see Denis deko Zhukov and Aurora on a major LAN. The team remains the main dark horse of BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024; it is completely unclear what to expect from it. She can finish the championship either in last place or in the top 4. Recently, the team took first place at Skyesports Masters 2024 and second at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2024. While the team is not ready to compete with Team Spirit and MOUZ, it can definitely give the fight to other teams.
HEROIC is considered a promising team with a large advance payment. There are confident insiders circulating online about the upcoming replacement in the team after ESL Pro League Season 19. The new sniper of the team should be Abdul degster Gasanov, who will replace Nico nicoodoz Tamjidi. The current sniper HEROIC was one of the weakest players in the lineup and often failed in individual performance. But transferring a degster after a long period of inactivity is also a big risk. It is not a fact that the player will be able to return to his previous form. However, if he performs as well as he did in OG, HEROIC will have good prospects in the upcoming tournaments.
Outsiders BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024
Don’t expect anything from the Team Falcons super lineup. After all the changes and several failed tournaments, he shows no progress and there are no prerequisites for positive changes. Most likely, the team will face drastic changes after BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. In its group, it looks like the weakest participant, and the first match awaits it with Virtus.pro, hungry for victory. But even then it won’t get any easier; in the elimination match she will most likely meet with BetBoom Team, to whom she already lost at ESL Pro League Season 19.
MIBR also turned out to be an outsider at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024. Unlike Team Falcons, she manages to perform in small tournaments and on the Brazilian stage with varying degrees of success. However, at the championship in Belgrade she is unlikely to be released from the group Team Spirit and Aurora. MIBR turned out to be stronger than the roster of Denis deko Zhukov in the grand final of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2024, but the team from the CIS will definitely want to take revenge and give it their all.
The BetBoom Dacha series championships are famous for their dynamism and speed due to their fairly short format. Teams have no time to enter the tournament meta and change their tactics, so either you start playing right away, or your path in the tournament will end very quickly. This format is ideal for the main favorites – Team Spirit and MOUZ, who are starting to lose their form towards the last stages of the tournament. It is very difficult to stop them over a short distance, but we will see whether the other teams succeed at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, which will take place from May 14 to 19.
Final forecast for BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024:
- Favorites: Team Spirit, MOUZ and Virtus.pro;
- Dark horses: BetBoom Team, Aurora and HEROIC;
- Outsiders: Team Falcons and MIBR.
