With four teams already eliminated, the top 4 teams in the upper bracket are set to face off this afternoon.
Team Falcons vs Tundra Esports
It’s hard to predict the outcome of this match. Team Falcons started the year strong but stumbled in Elite League. Despite leading Group A, they only managed to win one series out of all their matches.
On the other hand, Tundra Esports have not had the best start this year in Tier 1 tournaments but have shown a turnaround at the Dota Birmingham Major. They have fought hard and defeated strong teams in the tiebreakers.
Either team could come out on top, promising an exciting Dota match!

BetBoom Team vs OG
OG seems to have plot armor at the Dota Birmingham Major, making a strong comeback after initially failing to qualify. With impressive performances, they are playing their best Dota in months.
Meanwhile, BetBoom faced drama and a drafting penalty early in the group stage but have shown resilience. With strong placements in previous tournaments this year, they have the potential to come out on top.
