The team “BetBoom” was considered one of the favorites for the DotA 2 tournament Lima Major. However, contrary to expectations, they performed surprisingly poorly. They had recently proven their skills in the DotA Pro Circuit 2023 Winter Tour.
The DotA team BetBoom is regarded as one of the best teams in Europe. No surprise, as they have well-known players like Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko, Vitalie “Save-” Melnic, and Alexander “TORONTOTOKYO” in their ranks. All players with great potential and plenty of tournament experience.
However, it seems that their favorite status has gone to their heads a bit. Instead of training and perfecting their strategy, they preferred to play other games. In general, the professionals were not fully focused. This arrogance is now costing them dearly. They are not the only professionals risking their careers recklessly.
At the beginning of 2023, DotA received a new champion. Watch the trailer for the new DotA hero “Muerta” here:
Arrogance comes before a fall
“BetBoom” entered the Lima Major as a favorite alongside “Team Liquid”. However, viewers were astonished when the team essentially defeated themselves. The outcome is disastrous: 4 draws and 3 losses result in second-to-last place in group B.
The team’s performance was so poor that even experts are baffled. How could it come to this? A player from the competing team “HellRaisers” believes he knows the answer. The player “Kyotaka” stated that “BetBoom” was not focused: “They were semi-AFK […] it was just easy to counter them.”

Has the hype gone to the team’s heads? Actually, that’s unlikely, as “BetBoom” brings a lot of talent and experience to the table. Nevertheless, the coming weeks will not be easy for the team. They couldn’t collect any DPC points at the Lima Major tournament, which are important for qualifying for the biggest DotA tournament “The International 2023”.
Fans are now wondering how the team can cope with this heavy setback. Can they make a comeback or will they fail to meet their ambitions?
