Keyd Stars vs BetBoom Team TI 12 Dota 2 Lower Bracket Round 1 overview and predictions

Keyd Stars is one of the two South American teams that entered TI12 through the South American open qualifiers. They had a rough start at TI, narrowly avoiding elimination after drawing against PSG Quest, Tundra, and TSM.

Additionally, they were wiped clean in the group stage Bo2 match against Talon. In the deciding final Bo3 series, Keyd Stars were relegated to the Lower Bracket after losing to LGD Gaming.

BetBoom had a great TI12 group stage run as they went on to win against Azure Ray, Shopify Rebellion, and Thunder Awaken. However, they lost the Bo2 series against Team Liquid.

After securing a safe spot in the group, they were pitted against 9Pandas in the bracket-deciding Bo3 match. They won a game and lost the next two against their CIS rivals and dropped to the Lower Bracket.

Who will advance to the next round?

That said, Betboom have a high chance of defeating Keyd Stars as they delivered consistent gameplay throughout the group stage. Keyd Stars, on the other hand, barely escaped elimination, lacked teamwork, and usually got outdrafted.

Betboom's GPK and Nightfall have an explosive partnership with their heroes and can carry the team to Lower Bracket Round 2. Additionally, TorontoTokyo's valuable experience and drafting style can help BetBoom defeat the Brazilian team, as he was one of the members of Team Spirit that won the T10.

The winning team of this Lower Bracket matchup will lock horns with the losing team of the second Upper Bracket Quarterfinals(Team Liquid or Talon Esports).
