NOUNS vs ALPHA Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAIL |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | nouns -500 at BetOnline | ALPHA +333 at BetOnline |

Nouns replaced two players in December when the team added Luke “Yamsun” Wang and Rodrigo “LESL?O” Santos. With the two signings, nouns seem stronger, but the roster still has to prove that it can work together without a coach.
Their next opponents, ALPHA, are coming in from the lower division with two new players, Nicolás “wij” Moreno and Junior “Yadomi” Rimari from SG esports and Gorillaz-Pride, respectively. ALPHA don’t look exceptionally good, but they have enough talent for us to believe that they won’t struggle, and it wouldn’t be too shocking to see them compete for a top-four finish.
Nouns should do better this season, but ALPHA are a bit underrated at the offered Dota 2 esports betting odds. We like the underdogs with a map advantage at even odds or better.
THIUTH GAMING vs TSM Dota 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAIL |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Thiuth +550 at BetOnline | TSM -1000 at BetOnline |

After Soniqs released its roster, its slot was transferred to Thiuth Gaming, a team that fields a couple of unknown and unproven players who teamed up with Timur “layme” Magomedov, Jose “esK” Coronel, and Anton “antoha” Marchenko.
EsK is the only player on this roster known in the scene, having spent nearly one year competing with Wildcard Gaming, with whom he placed fourth in DPC NA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division I last season. But even though Thiuth have some solid pieces, it’s tough to say how the team will do, and it doesn’t help that they’re set to face one of NA’s top Dota 2 esports teams.
TSM underwent a surprising number of changes following a 19th-20th-place exit from TI 2022. The team brought in three new players Ilyas “kasane” Gainullin, Matthew “Ari” Walker, and Matthew “Whitemon” Filemon, despite having a fantastic season overall.
On paper, TSM looks significantly stronger than Thiuth Gaming, but with so many new faces on the roster, it’s fair to question how easy it will be for TSM to adjust and show their full potential. We can imagine TSM struggling initially, so we’re taking over 2.5 maps at a very generous $3.00 with online betting sites.
