BOOM Esports vs. Thunder Awaken Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024 overview and prediction
BOOM Esports, despite their recent regional change and roster shuffle, are performing better than expected. They ended up as the runners-up in both ESL One Birmingham 2024: South America Closed Qualifier and DreamLeague Season 22: South America Closed Qualifier.
Heroic defeated them twice in the final qualification match. Nevertheless, BOOM Esports did quite well in the qualifying matches as they defeated the likes of Thunder Awaken, Heroic, Estar_Backs, and beastcoast.
Their talented squad, with little tier 1 competitive experience, may have the right ingredients to send their rivals back home, as this side excels in disable-based late-game drafts. BOOM Esports lost the Decider Match 2-0 against Xtreme Gaming and dropped to Dota 2 Games of the Future 2024 Round 1.
On the other hand, Thunder Awaken has had a miserable post-TI season start. They finished fourth in DreamLeague Season 22: South America Closed Qualifier and were eliminated from ESL One Birmingham 2024: South America Open Qualifier #1 right at the beginning. Thunder Awaken defeated HYDRA 2-0 in the Elimination Match and qualified for Round 1.
We predict that Thunder Awaken will be eliminated from Games of the Future 2024, and BOOM Esports will advance to face PSG Quest in the Quarterfinals.
