Prediction for the match between BetBoom Team and Nouns which will take place on August 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Stability in their second season on the ESL Pro Tour and no roster changes brought BetBoom Team enough points to become the first team locked in for the Riyadh Masters at Esports World Cup 2024. They finished 4th at the Kuala Lumpur tournament, 3rd at BetBoom Dacha and 2nd at DreamLeague Season 22. Based on these results and trajectory, one would expect them to finish 1st at Elite League. However, they finished in 11th-12th place.

After that, the Russian team rehabilitated themselves and became the vice-champion of ESL One Birmingham 2024. Everything was going towards the collection of the team's game power, but suddenly there was another slump. PGL Wallachia Season 1 ended with BB players finishing in a dismal 9-11th place. At the end of May at DreamLeague Season 23, BB Team finished third. At the tournament in Riyadh, the Russian squad performed, on the whole, not bad, but we expected less from them, and the 5th-6th place doesn't look so bad if we evaluate the stable average result of the team during the whole season. At the tournament FISSURE Universe: Episode 3 BB Team looks like a home team, but started with a very sad defeat to Tundra Esports, but the team did not give up and continues to fight for the playoffs.

The important game was against Gaimin Gladiators. Winning the first map, defeat on the second and a spectacular decider put the Russian team in the decisive match for a slot in the playoffs against the Americans. So is BB Team strong? Victory over the Riyadh champions means nothing yet, the Europeans have clearly decided not to focus on this online tournament ahead of the start of TI13.

nouns are a promising team from North America who have already made a name for themselves at regional tournaments. Their style of play is aggressive and dynamic, which allows them to successfully deal with mid-level opponents. However, against more experienced teams such as the Gaimin Gladiators, they often encounter problems.

The Americans unexpectedly made it through the ‘meat grinder’ stage of the play-in tournament, although they started it with a loss to G2.iG. They followed that up with excellent wins over Aurora and PSG Quest, as well as a grand final success over 1win in the battle for the second slot in the main event. Sensationally, the Americans continued to gain momentum and kicked off with a strong-willed victory over Gaimin Gladiators, the champions of the Riyadh Masters Arabian tournament. But creating sensation all the time didn't work out, although it was close even with Tundra Esports. Even against the formidable Pure and Co, the Americans managed to pick up a card. It's hard to call nouns a clear outsider in the decisive battle for a slot in the playoffs, but it's getting harder and harder to believe in their constant miracle at this event. At some point the fairy tale must come to an end.

The Russian team is considered the favourite by all experts and bookmakers. It's hard to disagree with this, but the Americans are also worth believing in on one of the cards. We are waiting for a full-fledged BO3.
