BetBoom Team’s remarkable performance at Dota 2’s The International 2023’s lower bracket continues as they defeat regional rivals Virtus Pro in a series that includes the longest game of the tournament.
In the first match, BetBoom’s Nightfall and Gpk shine with flawless gameplay, dominating the game with Monkey King and Invoker. They secure victory in over 40 minutes, showcasing their excellent coordination.
The pressure was on BetBoom, known for their fragility in crucial moments, but they quickly dispel any doubts with their strong performance.
In the second game, Virtus Pro expertly drafts against BetBoom’s lineup, countering their threats effectively. Until the 40-minute mark, Virtus Pro maintains a slight lead as BetBoom struggles to secure crucial kills in team fights. However, BetBoom surprises Virtus Pro with their initiation, catching key heroes and turning the tide of the match.
Despite their efforts, BetBoom still faces challenges in team fights against Virtus Pro’s Muerta. However, Muerta’s attempt to backdoor BetBoom’s top lane barracks ultimately leads to her downfall. Caught by an Invoker Tornado, Muerta is unable to teleport back home, allowing BetBoom to secure victory.
This longest match of TI 2023 guarantees BetBoom a top-six finish at the event. In a post-game interview, TORONTOTOKYO jokingly suggests that BetBoom might consider playing even longer matches “for content.”
BetBoom’s next opponent will be determined later today as they face the loser of the LGD versus Azure Ray series.
