Shopify Rebellion vs TSM TI 12 Dota 2 Lower Bracket Round 1 overview and predictions

Shopify Rebellion had a challenging start to TI12 Dota 2 as they lost two group-stage series against Team Liquid and BetBoom. Nevertheless, they managed to draw their series against Azure Ray and Thunder Awaken, which helped them avoid elimination.

In the deciding Bo3 match, Shopify Rebellion were pitted against the undefeated Team Spirit, who silenced the North American team in a dominant fashion. Even though Shopify Rebellion had a good early game in the two losing matches, they couldn't handle the late-game pressure against the TI10 champions.

TSM, on the other hand, had a mediocre run in the group-stage matches but managed to finish second with a score of 4-4 since it was a relatively weak group, except for Tundra and Talon.

The team's TI journey started with a clean defeat at the hands of Tundra. The North Americans then whitewashed Talon before drawing against Keyd Stars and PSG Quest. At the deciding Bo3 series, they locked horns with Virtus.pro, who sent them to the lower bracket.

The Bo3 series between Shopify and TSM could go either way. However, we can expect Abed and Arteezy to carry their team to the Lower Bracket Round 2, eliminating TSM in the process.

Having said that, TSM's late-game potential could possibly help them defeat Shopify, especially with their picks like Riki, Lifestealer, and Lone Druid.

The winner of this matchup will face the loser of the fourth Upper Bracket Quarterfinals series(nouns vs Azure Ray).
