BetBoom Team vs Xtreme Gaming Prediction: BB Team Wants to Recover After That Blast Slam Loss

The big Dota 2 tournament of 2025, BLAST Slam II, is going to start on February 5. The first round of the playoffs will be between BetBoom Team and Xtreme Gaming. The match is set to begin at 9:30 p.m.

BetBoom Team

BetBoom Team did not succeed in the first round of roulette at BLAST Slam II. After four matches, the team had won one game and lost three. They finished in fourth place in Group A. The Pure team will compete in the first round of the playoffs, and they will need to win four games to advance to the grand finals. Kataomi could not attend the event in Copenhagen, so TORONTOTOKYO will be playing in his place.

The team moved from Belgrade to Copenhagen on February 3, and there is no talk of preparing for BLAST Slam II.Playing with substitutes also puts an unnecessary strain on the team's playstyle. TORONTOTOKYO, who left BetBoom Team, played mostly in the third position, but he also played in the fifth position in the group stage. He continued to have a lot of deaths against the tormentor, and now there are 14 of them in his career.The tight travel time between tournaments was very hard on the core players of BetBoom Team. Both gpk and Pure, as well as MieRo, had a low kill-death ratio (KDA) in the first three games.The opponents had time to prepare for the Russian team. Yakult's Brothers played aggressively and BetBoom only got four kills. Talon Esports was a bit more generous and their players died six times.

A lot of small things went wrong for Pure at the same time. The team can't make many mistakes, but in Copenhagen, BetBoom Team didn't play its best. On paper, Pure and company should be the favorites in the series with Xtreme Gaming, but in fact, BetBoom Team is very vulnerable right now.

Xtreme Gaming

The Chinese team lost four games in the first round of bo1 and finished last in Group B. At the last FISSURE PLAYGROUND #1, Xtreme Gaming also played poorly on the first day, losing twice in the first round of bo1 and barely making it into the group stage of bo3. Will history repeat itself at BLAST Slam II?

Xtreme Gaming lost the laning stage on all the maps, and their opponents gained an economic advantage in the midgame after 10 minutes.The Chinese team has problems with drafts—the characters don't match up with each other, and the overall pattern of the game usually slides to deep leit with items. Xtreme Gaming tries to equally distribute farming between Lou and Xm. While the kerry is not always reliable, the midranger has a KDA of 6.5 throughout the month (including a complete failure at BLAST Slam II) and has helped his team achieve key victories both in the Chinese region and on the international stage.

Xtreme Gaming is considered the second strongest team in China, but earned spots in all upcoming international events in the January qualifiers. This squad may not be considered very promising, but each of the players had experience at the tier-1 level, so they will not give up without a fight in the BLAST Slam II playoffs.

Expert Betting Tips

If the teams were in top form for the match in Copenhagen, BetBoom Team would be considered the favorite, and Xtreme Gaming might have been eliminated before the match. However, the situation at BLAST Slam II is such that Pure and his team do not play a strong game, and the Chinese team in bo3 can be more dangerous than in bo1. Still, the team from Eastern Europe (although with a replacement player) should win the match and advance to the next stage of the playoffs.
