Luke Warr Published July 14, 2025

BetBoom Team looked the part of a serious contender to win the Esports World Cup but its journey through the playoffs starts with Tundra Esports; can you bet on them winning?

The Esports World Cup is the biggest tournament in Dota 2 these days when it comes to prizing. In terms of bringing home as much money as possible, there’s no better time to peak. All signs point to BetBoom Team being in absolute peak form, but they come across an opponent that has historically bullied them. Will that change here?

BetBoom Team vs Tundra Esports in-depth team, match analysis

BetBoom Team looked very sharp at PGL Wallachia Season 5. Despite taking a couple of losses in the early goings of the tournament, it rallied in the lower bracket and beat basically every other top team in the game today. The run was capped by beating Gaimin Gladiators, an always-tricky team that found the inside track on the meta.

While BetBoom is a squad that has historically run hot and cold, it’s hard to stop when it’s running hot. Fans last saw this in late 2025, when the team won BLAST Slam 1 and placed top-three in every other event it played in. With a second-place finish in DreamLeague Season 26, first place in PGL Wallachia Season 5, and a good start in the Esports World Cup, there’s plenty of reason to think that another strong BetBoom Team run is upon us.

Still, even in peak form, BetBoom has historically struggled with Tundra Esports. The head-to-head history between these two decisively favors Tundra. Not only that, but Tundra isn’t exactly struggling on the servers these days. Out of the nine LAN tournaments it has played in thus far in 2025, it has finished top-three in all but two.

While BetBoom’s recent success could hint at a return to the top of the Dota 2 pro scene for the team, don’t buy into that idea when they’re playing against Tundra Esports. They’re still very good right now, and have been kryptonite for BetBoom.

Rosters and roles

Best and most popular heroes

• True to the name, Tusk has been a sneaky go-to for Tundra over recent months. It’s generally strong across all the standard meta picks, with Beastmaster being a particularly good hero for the team with a 9-2 record.
• BetBoom is generally strong on all meta heroes but Vladislav “Kataomi`” Semenov’s Bane should give Dota 2 pro players nightmares.
• Naga Siren, Batrider, and Puck are the most contested heroes in the Esports World Cup thus far, with Puck getting a fair bit of play. Unsurprisingly, Shadow Shaman is the most-picked hero in the game right now as teams generally favor both wave clear and fast pushing.

BetBoom Team vs Tundra Esports betting picks and predictions

The point to BetBoom as a modest favorite thanks to its strong performance in the EWC group stage and its first-place finish in PGL Wallachia Season 5. That shouldn’t trump Tundra’s own success and its decisively winning record against BetBoom.

Best picks

• Tundra wins @ 2.03 – BetBoom Team is marked as the favorite here but it probably shouldn’t be, given the head-to-head history.
• Tundra wins 2-0 @ 3.73 – With Tundra winning 15 out of 20 maps against BetBoom this season, this is a surprisingly good return on what is a very likely outcome to this match.
• BetBoom wins map 1/2 with over 48.5 total kills @ 3.00 – For those looking to buy into BetBoom Team, this is the best way to do it. BetBoom actively looks to kill everything that moves and finds huge kill counts whether it’s in a short game or long, making lines like this one a good option.
