Aurora is a strong mid-tier player in the global Dota 2 scene and the sole leader in Southeast Asia. In the past, this roster played under the Talon Esports tag, and it is with this organisation that most Aurora players are associated with some of their high achievements, such as the top 3 at the Riyadh Masters 2023. The roaster now plays for an Eastern European organisation, but has remained tied to its own region, taking total dominance there.
Aurora in 2024 can't boast of a top-3 finish, but has been incredibly stable. Her range of occupied places is from 7 to 12. At the last Riyadh Masters 2024, the team made the playoffs, but fell out in the first round of the lower bracket, finishing 9-12th. However, at PGL Wallachia Season 1 and DreamLeague Season 23, it made the playoffs, also stopping in the first round of the lower grid, and finishing in 7th-8th place. Aurora can compete with top teams, sometimes taking away important points from them and being part of the anti-sensation of star teams. The main option is 23savage. Kerry Aurora has long established himself as a strong performer, a star of Asian matchmaking with high MMR. In the spring, Ukrainian mid lorenof joined the team and added strength to his new team, as well as headaches to enemy visions. He often wins the centre line and contributes a lot of impakt, has a great chiropool. Q's seven-sapper has also been recognised at Dash 1 tournaments, but it's not always stable: in some places they play brilliantly, but there are also bad days.
Team Waska
Team Waska is a BOOM Esports roster, which was abandoned by the organisation shortly before the start of FISSURE Universe: Episode 3. This was announced by the manager of the roster, specifying that the players can now consider offers from other clubs. The decision is partly logical, as the BOOM Esports tag failed to qualify for either the Riyadh Masters 2024 or The International 2024, even though they were rated as the second team in South America.
After failing to qualify for the regional qualifiers, the squad was changed with Parker replacing Pakazs at the curry position. The young Peruvian talent has been recognised internationally for his beastcoast performances, as well as for his cool performance on Templar Assasin. He is prophesied to have a future as big as Pakazs, and it is symbolic that this is the replacement that has taken place in the BOOM Esports lineup. In our analysis we can't move away from the history of the team's performances when it was under the BOOM Esports tag. Note that the roster existed in this form for a couple of months, but it brought one good result for the organisation. The Peruvians took third place at Elite League Season 2 in Peru and earned $72,000 in prize money.
Team Waska's future directly depends on how the team performs in the Play-in to FISSURE Universe: Episode 2. If it makes it to the main stage, the squad will not fall apart and will continue to work together. If not, there is a high probability that after TI13 in South America a global reshuffle will be launched, and Team Waska players will be looking for new teams. Frankly speaking, the Peruvians don't have much of a chance for the first two places in the Play-in.
Expert Betting Tips
Judging by the dry facts, Aurora will be a bit stronger in the team component, while Team Waska is more interesting in terms of individual decisions. The Aurora roster has been playing together longer and the synergy on the team is well established, while Team Waska simply has a set of strong performers, some of the best in Peru. This series could last up to three cards, but we, as well as the bookmakers, will believe in the success of Aurora.
