BeastCoast vs OutSiders Prediction: Teams to show a spectacular matchup

On August 4, the long-awaited major in the U.S. kicks off.

The battle for ticketing to The International is in full swing, and the upcoming major will be decisive for many teams. All this awaits Dota 2 fans from August 4 to 14.

On August 12, BeastCoast and OutSiders will play another match in the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs. We will find out which team will be stronger very soon. The meeting is scheduled to start at 21:00 (UTC+3).

BeastCoast barely made it to the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs. The team scored only six points in the group stage and finished in sixth place. The team's play is unstable, and it is tough to predict the guys' mood. In the group, beastcoast lost to Natus Vincere, which has already left the tournament but took away points from Team Aster and the same Entity. The team doesn't need DPC points and can play relaxed, so it's unknown what kind of mood the guys will approach this match in. BeastCoast lost the first map to Fnatic in their last match but destroyed their opponent on the remaining two. While this win was significant for Fnatic, BeastCoast took away Fnatic's direct invitational to The International. The South American team looks weaker than OutSiders, but their substandard draft picks, and aggressive play could win on a single map. Underlord in the mid, Magnus at the third position, and Troll Warlord at carry. The guys have their own meta, in which they play very well, which can take the Russian team by surprise.

OutSiders had a great run in the group stage of the PGL Arlington Major 2022. The team managed to finish second in Group A with ten points. The only team to beat was PSG.LGD, which currently looks a lot stronger than any other team in the tournament. In the playoffs, OutSiders lost to Team Spirit, which wasn't a big surprise, but in the next game, they confidently defeated RNG. The fight for a direct ticket to The International should have been in full swing, but BeastCoast managed to defeat Fnatic and gave the Russian team a direct invite. This match is now a no-brainer for the OutSiders and the team can play at their own pleasure. RAMZES666 and co are of course the favorite team to beat, but they can hardly expect to win 2-0, especially after the excellent performance of BeastCoast in the previous match, where the team from South America showed what they could beat any team with.

The teams have not faced each other in these lineups.

Neither team is under any kind of pressure. BeastCoast and OutSiders have already decided their goals for the season and can enjoy the game, experiment, and not worry too much about the outcome. The bookmakers are offering odds of around 2.20 on Maps Total Over (2.5), which looks like a good option.
