Business Associates vs. Gorillaz-Pride Preview and Prediction- Free Dota Betting Picks 8/15

Business Associates and Gorillaz-Pride will face each other in the group stage of the ESL One Thailand: 2020 Americas. The ESL One Thailand: 2020 Americas has eight teams competing for a $65,000 prize pool. The teams play in a round-robin group stage with the top four teams advancing to the playoffs. The playoffs have a double-elimination format with the grand finals being a best of five series.

Business Associates has some very popular players on its roster. The team includes players like Fear, EternalEnvy, Sneyking and Moo. However, despite featuring some big names on the team, Business Associates' performance has been sub-par. The team has been unable to win matches against relatively easier opponents, often due to very off-meta picks.

Gorillaz-Pride has lost all three of its matches so far in the group stage. The team seems to be out of its comfort zone as none of its strategies have worked so far against the top teams in North America. Gorillaz-Pride managed to win one game against Beastcoast after focusing on a strong mid to late game performance.

Pick: Map 1 Total Under 44.5 (+131 @ Pinnacle)

Business Associates’ innovative picks often allow it to have a strong performance against weaker opponents. The team can dominate this series and I expect them to come out strong in the early part of the series. I am taking Map 1 to be under 44.5 kills.
