There are only a few stops left until The International 2025, with PGL Wallachia Season 5 being one of the most lucrative among them. While Dota 2 is stratified in a big way right now, the tournament gave fans a shocker of an upset in the group stage as BetBoom lost to the unheralded Edge. So how can they get the better of an elite Team Spirit?
Betting tip: BetBoom took a shock loss to Edge in the opening round of this event but it should be able to regain its footing against a familiar foe it regularly beats.
My BetBoom Team vs Team Spirit pick: BetBoom Team wins (2.35 at gg.bet)
BetBoom Team has struggled with consistency throughout 2025. The team has proven itself capable of winning tournaments, as seen with its first-place run in Fissure Universe 4. Despite that and an invitation to The International 2025, it’s had an up-and-down year overall.
Fans are getting another taste of that in PGL Wallachia Season 5. The team was coming in hot after a second-place run in DreamLeague Season 26. While that run would theoretically be a prelude to a strong showing in PGL Wallachia, BetBoom instead took a surprise loss to Edge in the opening match. Worse, this was an Edge team that was playing with two substitutes from the struggling Team Secret in David “Parker” Nicho Flores and Clement “Puppey” Ivanov.

That put BetBoom into an unenviable position where it needed to work its way out of a hole with a nasty Buchholz score putting them in stiff matchups. The team managed to do so, punching a playoffs ticket by beating Team Tidebound.
That bad seeding might actually help BetBoom here, though. The team’s struggles have landed it in a matchup against regional rival Team Spirit; a matchup that actually favors the seemingly shaky side.

BetBoom Team, for whatever reason, seems to have Team Spirit’s number. While the head-to-head record is likely skewed in some part due to substitutions on Spirit’s part, the current Team Spirit roster stumbled against them when they played in FISSURE Universe: Episode 4. Even though Team Spirit is the better team on paper, keep that in mind when you check the GG.BET live odds.
