Matchup Analysis
Fresh quarterfinal clash in BLAST Slam VIII
Ice Cream Men visit TPB3 in an online BLAST Slam VIII Southeast Asia Closed Qualifier quarterfinal, a best-of-three series set for 29 August 2026 at 08:00 UTC and marked as their first recorded head-to-head meeting.
SourceIce Cream Men remain a scouting mystery
Ice Cream Men enter this series with no tracked match history, no available past results, and no world ranking on major databases, leaving opponents guessing about their laning setups and draft tendencies.
SourceTPB3 carry momentum from InterActive thriller
TPB3's lone recorded series is a 2–1 victory over InterActive Philippines in the BLAST Slam Southeast Asia Open Qualifier, suggesting they have already handled pressure in a tight series but still lack a large sample size at this level.
SourceSe and Ace12 showcase TPB3’s late-game composure
In a 56-minute win over BPM Esports that finished 46–39 in kills with a massive net worth swing, TPB3 leaned on Se’s Treant Protector and Ace12’s Mirana to stabilize teamfights and close out a grueling contest, underlining their comfort in extended games.
SourceMongolian upstarts testing the SEA qualifier field
TPB3 arrive as a Mongolian stack competing in a Southeast Asia closed qualifier while still listed as unranked in global Dota 2 standings, framing them as intriguing dark horses rather than established regional favorites.
SourcePick Ideas
Modest series moneyline lean toward TPB3
With TPB3 holding a 100% match win rate off their 2–1 success against InterActive Philippines and Ice Cream Men showing no recorded form or ranking, a cautious lean toward TPB3 on the series moneyline is reasonable while acknowledging high variance.
Over 2.5 total maps in a volatile best-of-three
This is a best-of-three quarterfinal between two unranked sides, and a dedicated total-maps market lists Over 2.5 as a tradable outcome, so backing the series to reach a deciding third map aligns with the profile of a close, swingy matchup.
Map 1 upset potential for Ice Cream Men
Map 1 winner markets price both teams as capable of taking the opener, and Ice Cream Men’s complete lack of scouting tape makes them an archetypal high-variance side that can spring early-game surprises against a still-emerging TPB3 lineup.
Overs on game duration props
TPB3’s 56-minute marathon against BPM Esports indicates they are willing and able to play through long, late-game scenarios, making overs on single-game or series duration an appealing angle if bookmakers post time-based markets.
Assist and participation props for Se and Ace12
Given TPB3 have previously entrusted Se and Ace12 with high-impact heroes like Treant Protector and Mirana in their BPM win, props emphasizing assist totals or kill participation for these playmaking supports may offer better value than pure carry kill lines.
