Thunder Awaken vs Infinity Prediction: Taking Revenge

The BTS Pro Series Season 13 playoffs will continue on Thursday night, December 9th, in the Americas. Thunder Awaken and Infinity will face each other in the first match of the new game day.

The organization said goodbye to the star roster after a spectacular performance at The International 11 and recruited a new five. It now features Europe’s top-20 ladder player Smiling Knight, 18-year-old South American hopeful Alone, and former Infamous’ supports Accel and Michael-. 

The entire group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 13 Thunder Awaken has lost only to Infinity. In the remaining series, the team earned three wins and three draws - enough to advance to the top net. In the playoffs, there was a victory over beastcoast, and in the semifinals, TSM reached the final in a hard-fought struggle, sending the Smiling Knight team to the lower bracket. The drafts focus on strong lines, and there is a prime choice of Nature’s Prophet. The hero appeared in seven meetings, though he could only win three. Jakiro (71% in seven games) and Ember Spirit (57% in seven games) should be banned.

The Knight is at the top in terms of KDA (6.9 - fifth place in the tournament) and dies the least (2.3 deaths per map). Among the players from the South American region, he performs with high quality, and this factor could be crucial in the rematch. 

After failing to qualify for The International 11, the Costa Rica squad held a quality reshuffle. As a result, only the supports, Genek and Prada, remained on the team, and Infamous former players Parker, Leostyle, and Frank joined them. All three recruits played in Last Chance TI11 and could have won the series in the playoffs against Xtreme Gaming with Paparazi and old eLeVeN in a moment. 

In the group stage, Infinity didn’t fail even once, finishing 11-3 on the maps. In the playoffs, the team nearly made a comeback against nouns on the second map. They were one step away from advancing to the next stage but made a mistake in one team fight. After losing in the upper bracket, Infinity easily outplayed Wildcard Gaming and went to a rematch with Thunder Awaken.

Parker is still playing at the tournament MVP level, with 13 kills per map, averaging 500 creeps, and has the first GPM per minute (840). The team likes to vary their picks, having played 38 heroes in the last month, and none of the characters appearing more than three times (the exception is Tusk, with four games with a 75% win rate). 

In the last series between the teams, Infinity gained the character win on the maps twice. On the first one, Thunder Awaken killed more often but did not develop an advantage. On the second, Infinity recovered with a 10,000 gold advantage. Parker’s form is admirable, which could be a factor in Infinity’s victory. However, the Smiling Knight squad could have already concluded the previous encounter and chosen a different game plan. Thunder Awaken benefited from their recent victory over beastcoast. That win and a tight series against TSM can positively affect the players’ spirits, and the team can take revenge in a tough battle.
