BUSINESS ASSOCIATES vs THUNDER PREDATOR ESL ONE THAILAND 2020: AMERICAS BETTING PREVIEW
Business associates and Thunder Predator will lock horns for the seventh time in their history this Wednesday on the second matchday of ESL One Thailand 2020: Americas.
Business associates enter the clash following a devastating loss to Infamous, who defeated them 2-1 on Saturday. Even though BA failed to start their ESL One Thailand campaign with a win, they did not look too bad in their loss considering it was only their second official match in almost two weeks.
Infamous took the series lead with a commanding performance in game one which they won in just under 28 minutes with a 33-13 kill lead and +16.8k net worth differential. Things, however, took a sudden turn in game two, when business associates returned the favour and crushed Infamous in 25 minutes.
The second map of the series saw Clinton “Fear” Loomis and his crew accumulate a massive +32 kill differential (43-11) and a 30.2k net worth lead at the end of the game. Much of BA’s success came down to David “Moo” Hull who had an outstanding performance (15/0/17) on Void Spirit, while Braxton “Brax” Paulson did not fail to impress either with 7/1/27 on Dark Seer.
After a back-and-forth in the opening two games, business associates and Infamous produced a very close affair on the third and final map, and while the North American squad managed to keep up the pace with Infamous for the majority of the early-game, the Peruvian squad ran away with the lead at around 20th minute and won the game with a +8 kill differential (42-34) and +35.4k net worth lead.
Taking on business associates this Wednesday will be Thunder Predator, who unlike their Northern neighbours started the ESL One Thailand 2020: Americas with a win against CR4ZY (2-1).
Similarly to business associates, Thunder Predator’s opening match of the competition was relatively close. Romel “Mjz” Quinteros and co. secured the series lead with a commanding performance on map one which they won with 20-8 in kills and +18.3k net worth lead, but failed to carry over the momentum into the second map, and lost with 17-41 in kills and over 27k net worth deficit.
Nevertheless, Thunder Predator bounced back in style and took down CR4ZY in the third map thanks to another strong performance from Leonardo “Leostyle-” Sifuentes (12/1/20), Mjz (12/1/13) and Frank “Frank” Arias (13/5/22). Thunder Predator ended the final game of the series with 45-15 in kills and well over 28k net worth lead.
Thunder Predator are coming into this match following a fourth-place finish at The Great American Rivalry Season 1 Division 1 and a 6-2-2 record from their last 10 games. It’s also worth noting, that Thunder Predator are 3-1 across the last seven days.
Business associates, on the other side, finished The Great American Rivalry Season 1 Division 1 in ninth-10th place after failing to make it out of the group (2-1-6). Fear and his team are also holding onto a 2-1-7 record from their last 10 fixtures and have played only one game this month.
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES vs THUNDER PREDATOR ESL ONE THAILAND 2020: AMERICAS BETTING PREDICTIONS
Out of seven meetings with business associates, Thunder Predator drew once and split the remaining six games. While a 3-1-3 head-to-head record might suggest these two teams match up nicely, it’s worth mentioning that Thunder Predator won both of their last two fixtures against business associates (2-1 and 2-0).
The last time business associates defeated Thunder Predator was in June during the BTS Pro Series Season 2: Americas (2-0), and before that in May at the ESL One Birmingham 2020 – Online: North & South America (2-0).
The esports betting odds have Thunder Predator priced as the favourites and while there is no denying they have shown in recent weeks, we find the +1.5 map handicap bet on the underdogs far more inviting.
Business associates might have looked a bit shaky in their clash with Infamous, however, that was their first game in over a week, so they were likely a bit ring rusty and underperformed as a result of that. This time out we expect a better performance from them and if they can deliver, Fear and his crew should have no issues winning at least one map as they did four times already.

QUINCY CREW vs BUSINESS ASSOCIATES DOTA 2 BEAT INVITATIONAL SEASON 9 BETTING PREVIEW
Quincy Crew and business associates will meet this Tuesday in the upper bracket of the Dota2 BEAT Invitational, where four North American teams will compete for the largest slice of US $10,000 in prize money.
Quincy Crew returned to fight under their old banner at the end of March after Yawar “YawaR” Hassan, Quinn “Quinn” Callahan, Arif “MSS” Anwar, Malthe “Biver” Winther and Avery “SVG” Silverman were released by Chaos Esports Club, who decided to pull the plug on their Dota2 esports project. Since then, they have put up some promising results.
At ESL One Los Angeles 2020 – Online: North America, QC finished the round-robin phase undefeated and went on to secure second place. They would have been disappointed with their 1-3 loss to Evil Geniuses in the grand finals, however, as they had beaten EG earlier in the tournament.
Quincy Crew showed more good form at BTS Pro Series: Americas earlier this month, ending the round-robin stage as the first seed with a perfect 7-0 record. YawaR’s squad carried that momentum into the playoffs, where they defeated business associates in round one and Evil Geniuses in the upper bracket finals. Just like at ESL One Los Angeles 2020, however, EG got the better of Quincy in the grand finals with a commanding 3-1 win.
While Quincy Crew have been making some serious noise in the North American Dota2 esports scene, business associates have struggled to make any notable impact.
BA finished fourth out of four teams at ESL One Los Angeles 2020 – Online: North America after failing to win a single match in the group stage. Clinton “Fear” Loomis suffered defeats against CR4ZY (1-2), Quincy Crew (1-2) and Evil Geniuses (1-2).
Business associates looked better at BTS Pro Series: Americas, where they defeated Cloud9 (2-0), Thunder Predator (2-1) and FURIA (2-0). Their only three losses of the tournament, however, came against the exact same teams that caused them headaches as ESL One Los Angeles: Quincy Crew (1-2), CR4ZY (1-2) and Evil Geniuses (0-2).
QUINCY CREW vs BUSINESS ASSOCIATES DOTA 2 BEAT INVITATIONAL SEASON 9 BETTING PREDICTIONS
Quincy Crew have looked a far better team than business associates in recent weeks. That QC have won this matchup twice in the past 30 days makes it rather obvious YawaR and co. will have the upper hand this Tuesday. Keep it simple and back the favourites for the win.
Quincy Crew to win

BUSINESS ASSOCIATES VS QUINCY CREW ESL ONE LOS ANGELES DOTA2 ONLINE MAJOR: NA BETTING PREVIEW
Business associates and Quincy Crew are set to duke it out on Matchday 2 in the North American section of the ESL One Los Angeles Online Major, in what will be their second-to-last match of the tournament before the playoffs.
Quincy Crew’s squad have returned to fight under their old banner following their departure from Chaos Esports Club earlier this month, when the North American esports organisation decided to call it quits on their Dota2 project due to COVID-19 outbreak.
Representing Quincy Crew are now Yawar “YawaR” Hassan, Quinn “Quinn” Callahan, Arif “MSS” Anwar, Malthe “Biver” Winther and Avery “SVG” Silverman. The one new member of this Quincy squad compared to the previous incarnation is Biver, who takes over the role formerly occupied by Joná? “SabeRLight-” Volek.
YawaR and co. had a few impressive showings as Chaos, including first place at DreamLeague Season 13 North America Closed Qualifiers and runner-up finishes at DOTA Summit 11 and ESL One LA Major NA qualifiers. Despite their strong performances in qualifiers, however, Chaos EC failed to deliver at Leipzig Major, where they finished 13th-16th after they lost to Aster in round one of the playoffs.
That did not stop Yawar’s squad from putting up a very impressive show at LA Major qualifiers, where they forced Evil Geniuses into a three-map series and defeated business associates twice with a 4-1 aggregate score.
Joining the clash of the organisation-less teams are business associates, a quintet of players which formerly represented J.Storm before the North American outfit decided to release their members without warning earlier this year.
While playing under J.Storm, Clinton “Fear” Loomis and co. had a fairly successful run on the Dota Pro Circuit. They pocketed top-six finishes at DreamLeague Season 12 and the MDL Chengdu Major, but success has been hard to come by since then and it seems like the lack of proper training facilities and financial backing has taken a toll on the team.
Business associates finished third at ESL One Los Angeles NA Major Closed Qualifiers and later put up two underwhelming displays at StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 3 and WeSave! Charity Play – North America, where they finished seventh-eighth and third-fourth respectively.
Perhaps it would be fair to give business associates some slack for their WeSave! Charity Play placement, given that it was a charity event and that they took Evil Geniuses to three maps, but it is hard to overlook their defeats to forZe and BOOM Esports at the StarLadder tournament.
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES VS QUINCY CREW ESL ONE LOS ANGELES DOTA2 ONLINE MAJOR: NA BETTING PREDICTIONS
Quincy Crew are priced as heavy favourites to pocket a W here, which is fair when you consider they defeated business associates twice at the ESL One Los Angeles 2020 North America Closed Qualifier. That said, the outsiders should not be underestimated.
It’s easy to forget how strong J.Storm used to be. While they were never one of the top teams in the Dota 2 esports scene, they had their fair share of impressive results.
Most J.Storm’s success was due to Fear, who is one of the most storied Dota2 player-coaches and widely regarded as the best Dota2 player from North America. He might not be the player he once was, but his experience and leadership are invaluable assets.
Fear’s presence might not be enough to inspire business associates to an upset win, but the underdogs have what it takes to force a three-map series.

BUSINESS ASSOCIATES VS FORZE STARLADDER IMBATV DOTA 2 MINOR SEASON 3 BETTING PREVIEW
StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 3 is set to kick off on Thursday, March 5 at Kiev Cybersport Arena, where eight teams will duke it out for the largest slice of US $300,000, 660 Dota Pro Circuit points and a ticket to the ESL One Los Angeles Major. The event will begin with Group A fixtures, where we will see the former J.Storm squad, business associates, take on newcomers forZe in a best-of-three (Bo3) match.
Following the unexpected departure from J.Storm, David “Moo” Hull, Leon “Nine” Kirlin, Braxton “Brax” Paulson, Joel Mori “MoOz” Ozambela and captain Clinton “Fear” Loomis assembled a stack named business associates that will represent the North American region at the tournament.
The last event Fear and company participated in under J.Storm’s banner was ONE Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational Singapore back in December 2019, where they finished in 11th-12th place following three crushing defeats against Alliance, Team Secret and Virtus.pro and two stalemates against TNC Predator and Team Aster.
Since the turn of the year, the ex-J.Storm squad have participated at the Los Angeles Major North American qualifiers. They got off to a strong start by topping their group, but they fell flat against Chaos EC twice – once in the semi-finals (1-2) and later in the lower bracket finals (0-2) – and wound up in third place.
Despite the LA Major qualifier woes, business associates dusted themselves off and secured entry to the Dota2 Kyiv Minor with a perfect run through the StarLadder qualifiers, beating the likes of Zoomies and Fighting PandaS.
ForZe head to Ukraine with a fresh squad acquired from Gentlemen on January 15, marking their first entry into the Dota 2 esports scene. Representing the Russian outfit are Alexander “Gibkiy” Tkachenko, Egor “19teen” Lexutin, Evgeniy “Chu” Makarov, Ivan “VANSKOR” Skorohod and team captain Stanislav “633” Glushan.
Since assembling their first-ever Dota 2 team, forZe have produced a mixed bag of results. They won OMG.BET Cup 2 in mid-January, where they defeated jfshfh178 (2-0), Empire Hope (2-1) and Vikin.gg (3-1), but failed to go the distance at the Hainan Master Spring Invitational – CIS Qualifier, running third after losses to HellRaisers (1-2) and Cyber Legacy (1-2).
Shortly after, forZe took a swing at the ESL One Los Angeles 2020 CIS Closed Qualifier, where they put up two stalemates against Team Spirit and EXTREMUM and won against HellRaisers to set themselves up for a playoff spot. Their plans fell through, however, as forZe lost to HellRaisers in the group tiebreaker match and came away empty handed.
ForZe found their stride at the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 3 CIS Qualifier, where they avenged their defeat against HellRaisers and edged past Cyber Legacy in the lower bracket finals to book a spot in Kyiv.
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES VS FORZE STARLADDER IMBATV DOTA 2 MINOR SEASON 3 BETTING PREDICTIONS
This fixture marks the first meeting between these two rosters, as Gentlemen never played against J.Storm and business associates have yet to clash with forZe in their short history in the Dota 2 scene.
Even so, esports bookmakers seem to agree that business associates are the favourites to claim the spoils. That seems fair, considering J.Storm were a solid team with several accolades under their belt, but the ex-Gentlemen are no pushovers.
ForZe have picked up the pace in recent times, which is enough for us to believe they can keep business associates on their toes and push the series into three maps.

]]>What makes the supposed disbandment of the team even harder to comprehend is the fact that J.Storm got off to a strong start in the 2019/20 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) season. In October 2019, J.Storm qualified for the first Dota 2 Major of the year with a third-place finish in North American qualifiers. At the MDL Chengdu Major, Fear and his crew made headlines as they claimed a fifth-sixth finish and 900 DPC points.
In December, J.Storm also made an appearance at DreamLeague Season 13 North American Closed Qualifier, but they crashed out of the event before making it to the playoffs. Towards the end of the year, J.Storm also claimed a bronze medal at the WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020 North America Qualifier and an 11-12th finish at the One Esports Dota 2 World Pro Invitational.
With a top-six finish at MDL Chengdu and an appearance at the Leipzig Major qualifiers, J.Storm earned 920 DPC points to sit eighth in the 2019/20 season standings. Considering the entire roster is still together and will play under a different name, the big question is whether or not Fear and company will get to keep their hard-earned DPC points.
The former J.Storm roster is currently competing in the ESL One Los Angeles 2020 North America Closed Qualifier, which will conclude on Wednesday, February 12. The teams participating at the qualifiers are: Evil Geniuses, Fighting PandaS, Chaos Esports Club, Team Xolotl, Demon Slayers, ghoul, DoZe Esports, Team Team, Zoomies and business associates.
At the time of writing, neither J.Storm nor their former players have made any official statement about the situation.
