OG

OG travelled to Peru without their captain Ceb. Sebastian is now spending more time with his family, and he is replaced in the fifth position by former PSG.Quest mainstay, kaori. For OG, the performance at Elite League Season 2 is crucial - Timado is from Peru and Wisper is from Bolivia, although he reached his peak form with the Peruvians in beastcoast and Evil Geniuses. They have rare opportunities to play in front of their home fans, and now have a good chance of lifting the title in front of them.

It cannot be said that OG are considered the main favourites to win the tournament, but the team stands out noticeably among all the participants. OG has had strong results from time to time in 2024, finishing top-4 at ESL One Birmingham 2024 and top-6 at DreamLeague Season 22. With Ceb in the lineup, one could argue that this team is stronger on LAN than online. However, OG is now without its leader, and those roles have fallen evenly on everyone. At the Riyadh Masters 2024, the team settled for 9th-12th place, showing absolutely nothing in the playoffs against Tundra Esports and PSG.Quest. The teamplay is built around bzm, the Bulgarian midrunner in prime form is as good as the best visions at his position, and with the arrival of Timado, opponents have to watch out for both barkers. OG likes to play from strong lines, impose their game from the first minutes and create pressure around the map.

It's hard to judge the team's form on Elite League Season 2, because the opponents were Apex Genesis and Yellow Submarine - these teams are far inferior in the level of play. The real test of OG will be with Heroic, and if in this meeting the team bzm need to win confidently. On paper, OG should reach the grand finals.

Heroic

Heroic is the best South American team at the moment. K1 and company are consistently taking slots in all the tier-1 tournaments from their region, leaving BOOM Esports and beastcoast behind. The ‘heroes’ have progressed a lot in six months, making the playoffs twice at DreamLeague Season 23 and ESL One Birmingham 2024. At the Riyadh Masters 2024, the team also started with a good start in the group stage, but finished with a bad start, failing to reach the bottom of the group stage. But there is no need to write Heroic off in Peru.

Firstly, the Peruvian fans will be especially worried about Heroic, and fans in South American countries can even influence the outcome of matches. Secondly, Heroic understands the established meta and can adjust to it. Heroic drafts are already closer to European ones, more balanced, and the emphasis is on K1 and 4nalog.

Heroic has confidently defeated Cuyes Esports and Execration, but have a tough meeting with OG ahead. However, for ‘heroes’ such matches are not so scary, they have been fighting on the dash-1 level for half a year, and they were not the boys for beating. The history of face-to-face matches shows that Heroic's rival was more successful on the distance, but more often than not the matches ended in draws. Why don't the ‘heroes’ rewrite that history right now?

Expert Betting Tips

OG is without its captain in Peru. This fact might not have affected the matches against Yellow Submarine and Apex Genesis, but here the opponent will be more serious. Usually OG and Heroic meet in HE2 format, and most of the matches ended 1:1. Bookmakers believe that OG will be the favourite in this encounter, but we will reinsure ourselves and wait for the third card.
