The upcoming match between DK and Team BDS in the Worlds 2023 Swiss Stage Round 3 is a crucial one for both teams.

Worlds 2023 Swiss Stage – DK vs BDS – October 23, 11:00 CET
DK and Team BDS are both #4 seeds from Korea and Europe respectively. DK had a tough start, facing G2 and KT in their first two series. Similarly, Team BDS faced JDG and lost to MAD Lions on Day 2.
Both teams are now in a do-or-die situation and need a win to stay alive in the tournament. The stakes are high and this match will be a battle to the finish.
Will Adam carry BDS over the line?
Adam has been the standout player for Team BDS, creating leads on his own in the top lane. However, his pattern has been figured out and his main picks have been banned in recent matches. MAD Lions even banned three of his champions in their match, forcing him onto Renekton.
DK may not be able to take the same approach in their draft as it would give too much leeway for other roles, especially in the bottom lane. Kellin has not been performing well in the tournament so far and is a weak link that BDS can punish. DK will have to make a choice: in a Bo3 series, they may end up bleeding a game.
However, DK's cleaner objective setup and teamfighting give them an edge. Eastern teams are better at coordinating the right plays in key moments of the game, allowing them to gain crucial advantages post-20 minutes. This trend is likely to continue in this series.
Prediction: DK 2 – 1 BDS
In conclusion, this match is a must-win for both DK and Team BDS. While Adam has been a standout player for BDS, DK's cleaner objective setup and teamfighting give them an edge. Eastern teams are better at coordinating the right plays in key moments of the game, allowing them to gain crucial advantages post-20 minutes.
