Teams to Watch at the 2023 Bali Major
The best of the best DOTA2 teams will be at the 2023 Bali Major, and even a couple of new faces are joining the fold! Every DOTA2 news outlet has Gaimin Gladiators as the clear favorite going into the 2023 Bali Major. However, that does not make them the top team to watch for DOTA2 esports fans and bettors.
Those three teams are Bleed Esports, Team Aster, and Evil Geniuses.
Evil Geniuses
The South American superstars, Evil Geniuses, have mostly gone under the radar despite their consistent results throughout DPC 2023. They placed fourth and fifth place at Berlin and Lima Majors, respectively, so that’s a good sign the young talents in EG are still worth the hype going into the 2023 Balir Major. For those who don’t know, the EG line-up comprised ex-Thunder Awaken and beastcoast players that rocked the TI11 fans with their phenomenal performance.
Team Aster
The highly-anticipated Team Aster needs no introduction after a parade of recognition and hype surrounding its newest member. Having SumaiL as their mid-player is arguably the most impactful roster change Aster had this season. Fans have high hopes for the King to deliver. It’s best not to place Team Aster amongst the top three at the 2023 Bali Major. They can easily get there with their talent, but it’s still too early to place them there.
Bleed Esports
Debuting in their first major is Bleed Esports from Southeast Asia. With no former accomplishments on the international level, it’s far-fetched to consider Bleed among the potential top eights in the 2023 Bali Major. In addition, Bleed won first place in SEA Division 1, which puts them well above your average SEA team.
