Matchup Analysis
Quarterfinal clash in BLAST Slam SEA Closed Qualifier
Direborn and Satan666 meet for the first time in an online best-of-three quarterfinal at the BLAST Slam Southeast Asia Closed Qualifier, kicking off at 02:00 UTC on August 29.
SourceDireborn riding Lunar Horse Trophy momentum
Direborn recently claimed the Lunar Horse Trophy 8 title with a 3–1 grand final win over Mentality Monsters, banking $6,500 and showing they can close out series against solid regional foes.
SourceDireborn emerging as a top-50 SEA contender
With a 68% win rate over the last three months, 57 maps played, two first-place finishes, and $9,500 in prize earnings, Direborn has climbed to #43 in the world rankings and looks like a rising power in Southeast Asia.
SourceSatan666's battle-tested but volatile profile
Satan666 has logged around 60–63 maps across multiple events with roughly a mid-30s to 40% overall win rate and about $500 in prize money, highlighting a team that is experienced but still chasing consistency against stronger opposition.
SourceCore showdown: Dreamocel vs jenggy
Direborn's Indonesian carry Dreamocel and Satan666's Thai core jenggy headline the series, and whichever safely scales into late game more often should dictate tempo and objective control.
SourceMidlane duel between Pota2 and BeeBie
Pota2 has been a central playmaker in Direborn's recent success, while BeeBie often leans on active mids like Ember Spirit and Void Spirit, making midlane rotations and rune control a critical early tipping point.
SourceSupport units could decide the vision war
Direborn's support duo of db- and Deko has benefited from the team's strong KDA and XPM trends in recent months, whereas Satan666 leans on PhaeBin and Nine Nz to stabilize lanes and protect their cores, putting warding and smoke timings under the spotlight.
SourcePick Ideas
Direborn moneyline lean
Given Direborn's significantly stronger recent metrics—top-50 world ranking, 68% three-month win rate, and multiple titles—taking them straight up to win the series is a logical default angle.
Direborn -1.5 maps handicap
With Direborn already proving they can close out multi-map series convincingly, such as their 3–1 Lunar Horse Trophy 8 final, backing them to win 2–0 on a -1.5 maps line offers upside if their form carries into this quarterfinal.
Over 2.5 maps for upset potential
Satan666's volatility and experience across many maps, combined with this being the first-ever meeting between the sides in a best-of-three, make an over 2.5 maps angle appealing for bettors who see room for an upset or traded wins.
Direborn to take the first map
Direborn's recent momentum from winning events and strong early-game performances in regional series suggests a lean toward them capturing map one, especially against a Satan666 side still searching for consistent starts.
Player prop on Dreamocel kill output
If kill-focused player props are offered, backing Dreamocel to lead Direborn in kills across the series fits his high-impact core role within a team that regularly out-farms and out-paces regional opponents.
