Team Tickles vs Tundra Esports: Battle of the leaders

Major was canceled, but Valve decided to give Dota 2 fans at least something and now we are facing the Regional Finals, where the top four teams of each group stage have been selected. In the European region, Team Liquid, OG, Tundra Esports and Team Tickles will be battling it out. The teams will start at once with the semi-finals and play on a Double Elimination system. Yes, it's not the majors, but it's good that we can watch the best teams from all the regions at least in this format. Let's just enjoy the dota.

On February 11, Team Tickles and Tundra Esports will play their opening match in the Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22 regional finals for Europe. We'll find out which team will get the first win soon enough.

Team Tickles: They surprised everyone

Team Tickles surprised everyone in the inaugural European Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22 season. The team made a great showing and managed to take second place in the group stage. In addition, Team Tickles won the Dota 2 Champions League Season 6 by beating Natus Vincere in the final. The team must be in great spirits, even despite the latest defeat to Team Secret, which didn't affect anything. In the face-off, Team Tickles crushed Tundra Esports very easily. On the first map the boys only allowed six kills to their opponents, with 42 kills of their own, and the second map was over in 30 minutes and Team Tickles again made a lot of kills. It's hard to imagine that history will repeat itself in the upcoming match. That game felt more like a fluke than an objective balance of power.

Tundra Esports: Best in replay

Tundra Esports won OGA Dota PIT Season 5 at the end of December, beating the reigning world champions in the final. The European team showed a great game and confirmed that they are now one of the strongest teams in their region. Many consider Tundra Esports to be even the best team in Europe, but such thoughts don't quite fit with the team's results on Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22. In that tournament, the team only managed to slip into the top 4 with the help of replay. At the end of the group stage, Tundra Esports won four matches and lost three. However, the team left no chance for their rivals at the replay itself, winning all matches. Tundra Esports is in great form and is ready to take revenge on Team Tickles for their group stage defeat.

Expert Betting Tips

Team Tickles was able to defeat Tundra Esports very easily in their first head-to-head match, but this result looks more like a coincidence than a real power play. In my opinion, Tundra Esports is in great form right now and should take revenge. The bookmakers offer 2.50 for a 2-0 win for Tundra Esports, which looks like a good option. You can also take Total Under 2.5 maps for 1.73.
