Team Falcons vs Shopify Rebellion Prediction: the Falcons Won't Be Caught Off Guard

Prediction for the ESL One Birmingham 2024 match, which will take place on April 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Falcons had a rough time in the Elite League after dominating at the BB Dacha and in the DreamLeague. They had some trouble even in the group stage, as OG showed the world how to beat the season's best team, and in the finals, Xtreme Gaming showed it once again. Even after the loss, the team isn't out of the running. They keep making it to the finals, a great result for a new team. The main thing is that the rumors about replacing Malr1ne with SumaiL are just rumors.

The Dota 2 project by Saudi investors has been more successful than the CS project. Falcons got into Dota 2 by picking up two players from Tundra Esports' main roster, which won The International 2022: Sneaky and the amazing skiter. With their new teammates, they've been killing it this season. The patch is a perfect fit for ATF, which is looking to dominate the professional scene. Last season, he watched from home after playing for OG, Nigma Galaxy, and a temporary loan to Quest Esports. Cr1t- and Malr1ne players have had arguably the best games of their careers over the past three months. The result for the Falcons is that the roster has grown and is getting closer to more big wins.

Shopify Rebellion had a solid start to last season, getting prizes in the regional DPC league. The players from the previous roster also had a successful showing on the international stage, finishing fourth at the Lima Major 2023 and in the top three at DreamLeague Season 19 and DreamLeague Season 21 (third and second place, respectively). However, the main tournaments of the year—Riyadh Masters 2023 and The International 2023—brought setbacks for Arteezy, making a roster overhaul inevitable. With the legendary North American curler SabeRLight—who was the only player left to play in the new season— Arteezy and his team decided to make some changes. The new Shopify Rebellion roster welcomed Yopaj (who transferred from Asian BOOM Esports), Thiolicor, and Kitrak (from D2 Hustlers and OG, respectively). The revamped team made their first appearance at the BetBoom Dacha Closed Qualifier.

The only major event where we saw Arteezy's squad was DreamLeague Season 22. The North American squad didn't do so well at the event. They came in 7th, which isn't an acceptable result for the leader of North America.

It's pretty obvious who the favorite is, and if the Saudis don't have any substitutes in their lineup, Team Falcons should win.
