BetBoom Team looked the part of a serious contender to win the Esports World Cup but its journey through the playoffs starts with Tundra Esports; can you bet on them winning?

The Esports World Cup is the biggest tournament in Dota 2 these days when it comes to prizing. In terms of bringing home as much money as possible, there’s no better time to peak. All signs point to BetBoom Team being in absolute peak form, but they come across an opponent that has historically bullied them. Will that change here?
Betting tip: BetBoom looks ready to have a run at the top, but don’t bite on it against Tundra.
My BetBoom Team vs Tundra Esports pick: Tundra wins (1.98 at GG.BET)
BetBoom Team looked very sharp at PGL Wallachia Season 5. Despite taking a couple of losses in the early goings of the tournament, it rallied in the lower bracket and beat basically every other top team in the game today. The run was capped by beating Gaimin Gladiators, an always-tricky team that found the inside track on the meta.
TUNDRA vs TALON – ELIMINATION MATCH – ESPORTS WORLD CUP 2025 – EWC 2025 DOTA 2
While BetBoom is a squad that has historically run hot and cold, it’s hard to stop when it’s running hot. Fans last saw this in late 2025, when the team won BLAST Slam 1 and placed top-three in every other event it played in. With a second-place finish in DreamLeague Season 26, first place in PGL Wallachia Season 5, and a good start in the Esports World Cup, there’s plenty of reason to think that another strong BetBoom Team run is upon us.
Still, even in peak form, BetBoom has historically struggled with Tundra Esports. The head-to-head history between these two decisively favors Tundra. Not only that, but Tundra isn’t exactly struggling on the servers these days. Out of the nine LAN tournaments it has played in thus far in 2025, it has finished top-three in all but two.
While BetBoom’s recent success could hint at a return to the top of the Dota 2 pro scene for the team, don’t buy into that idea when they’re playing against Tundra Esports. They’re still very good right now, and have been kryptonite for BetBoom.

The GG.BET live odds point to BetBoom as a modest favorite thanks to its strong performance in the EWC group stage and its first-place finish in PGL Wallachia Season 5. That shouldn’t trump Tundra’s own success and its decisively winning record against BetBoom.
