The CIS team was matched up against 9Pandas in the deciding Bo3 round. They won one game but lost the next two, relegating them to the Lower Bracket Round 1. They eliminated Keyd Stars, Talon Esports, and Virtus.pro in their Lower Bracket journey and qualified for the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.
Azure Ray's late-game-focused draft can force BetBoom to change their game plan. However, TorontoTokyo's rich experience from TI10 can provide a significant boost for his team in their attempt to defeat the Chinese powerhouse.
BetBoom's extensive hero pool can be an advantage in the drafting phase against Azure Ray. Still, they must be cautious about losing team fights, as the Chinese players can capitalize on multiple successful skirmishes and stage a comeback.
BetBoom can defeat the Chinese team and advance to the Lower Bracket Semifinal.
