Thanks to some help from the Oracle, you&#8217;ll find our top four picks below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Azure Ray<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Odds indicate Azure Ray is the fourth-best team at DreamLeague Season 22, so take this as our bold prediction for the event. After watching Azure Ray&#8217;s matches at <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.gl\/blog\/betboom-dacha-dubai-2024-betting-predictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024<\/a>, it is clear that their team form is higher than initially expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trio of players who joined Azure Ray on Dec. 31, 2023\u2014Ori, fy, and Faith_bain\u2014have already made their presence felt thanks to their immense skill and years of experience. Can Azure Ray claim a first-place finish at DreamLeague Season 22? Our crystal ball says there&#8217;s a chance for the Chinese powerhouse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Azure Ray roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lou &#8220;Lou&#8221; Zhen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zeng &#8220;Ori&#8221; Jiaoyang<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zhang &#8220;Faith_bian&#8221; Ruida<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Xu &#8220;fy&#8221; Linsen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jiang &#8220;\u5929\u547d&#8221; An<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Team Liquid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/blog\/team-liquid-overview\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"147\" title=\"team liquid\">Team Liquid<\/a>&#8217;s Dota 2 roster, with the addition of Neta &#8220;33&#8221; Shapira, is in strong form following a solid showing at their first S-Tier LAN event. Can their LAN form translate well to DreamLeague Season 22, an online event? Signs point towards yes! Liquid&#8217;s understanding of the meta and current drafting tactics indicate the squad has a better shot than many Dota 2 esports fans may believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Team Liquid roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Michael &#8220;miCKe&#8221; Vu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Micha\u0142 &#8220;Nisha&#8221; Jankowski<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neta &#8220;33&#8221; Shapira<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samuel &#8220;Boxi&#8221; Svahn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aydin &#8220;Insania&#8221; Sarkohi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. BetBoom Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following BetBoom Team&#8217;s excellent performance at the first big Dota 2 esports event of the year, the squad has silenced all but the most resilient doubters. Their current form is fantastic, which is why we\u2019re predicting a top-three finish\u2014and a potential run at the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of 20-year-old Matvey &#8220;MieRo`&#8221; Vasyunin in the Offlane (PO3), who joined the roster on Jan. 14, 2024, has done wonders for the team. Odds (roughly 5 to 1) indicate BetBoom Team has a decent chance of making it to the Grand Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BetBoom Team roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Egor &#8220;Nightfall&#8221; Grigorenko<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Danil &#8220;gpk&#8221; Skutin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ivan &#8220;Pure&#8221; Moskalenko<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vitalie &#8220;Save-&#8221; Melnic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alexander &#8220;TORONTOTOKYO&#8221; Khertek<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Gaimin Gladiators<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The odds place Gaimin Gladiators as the third most likely team to win DreamLeague Season 22. Undoubtedly, the squad, who&#8217;s remained together since early 2022, has what it takes to win any significant event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, their devastating Grand Final losses at The International 2023 and ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 have dented their team form. Plus, they had a relatively early exit (5th to 6th place) at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024. Gaimin Gladiators can return to form at any moment and smash their opponents, but will they get their groove back at DreamLeague Season 22?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gaimin Gladiators roster:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anton \u201cdyrachyo\u201d Shkredov<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quinn &#8220;Quinn&#8221; Callahan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marcus \u201cAce\u201d Hoelgaard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Erik &#8220;tOfu&#8221; Engel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Melchior \u201cSeleri\u201d Hillenkamp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternative strong picks are Team Spirit, Xtreme Gaming, Falcons, and G2.iG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gearing Up For DreamLeague Season 22<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As DreamLeague Season 22 gets closer, are you ready for what promises to be one of the top events of the year so far?
