A couple of years after becoming South America’s highest roster on the TI stage with Infamous, the five players, now fighting under the banner of the beast, are looking to deliver another memorable performance and make their players proud. fan.
After StingeR and mates finished in the top 8 at TI9, the roster was signed into the post-event shuffle from beastcoast, and have since stuck together and have overcome numerous challenges, including the last year and a half of the pandemic. Their ultimate goal has never changed and they have kept their focus on what’s important: The International 10.

However, the online-only 2020 period isn’t exactly something to be proud of in terms of results. beastcoast was one of two South American teams that qualified for the Los Angeles Major and as the tournament was the first in a long line of events canceled due to the pandemic, champions of the online version of ESL One put together for each region reigned. Unfortunately, that was their only title for the entire year, although they subsequently played in numerous online competitions.
Over the past few years, South America has consistently produced a team that would go on to deliver some gaudy shocking and wreak some havoc in major tournaments. However, they have yet to deliver a championship squad, and while there are many logistical reasons that keep SA squads from thriving, they were also lacking in the in-game discipline department. When it comes to SA Dota, one often questions the temperament of their players and the fact that they are driven by strong emotions. An unsatisfactory run of the group stage or a defeat in the early stage of the playoff round is usually followed by an exit in the next knockout series.
However, beastcoast is one of the teams that has actually adapted to the pressure of the low end and that is how they have delivered the upheaval in previous years, including TI9.
They made it into the top 8 at TI9 without having a coach or analyst with them and without too much time to practice. At the time, they only had a week of bootcamping in China before the event, but the fact that they didn’t have time to reveal too much from their gameplay in the pre-event scrum could have been really beneficial to them. However, the absence of a coach at the TI was felt and recognized by the players. So, this year they won’t make the same mistake again.
beastcoast welcomed SA veteran Mariano “Papita” Caneda to the coaching position in early August, when they had already gathered for the pre TI-10 bootcamp. They have started the most intense training sessions for the biggest tournament of the year in North America and will have several weeks of bootcamping in Europe as well before TI10.

Although they are one of 12 teams that secured their spot at TI10 via Dota Pro Circuit points, beastcoast is not one of the teams that have shone or stood out during the year. They had two good runs through the SA Regional Championships, placing first in the first season and second in the next. Unfortunately, when they were the first SA league team, at the Singapore Major, they failed to make it to the tournament due to covid related issues. Along with NAVI, they were the only two teams to completely miss the event, and while for the CIS rep the competitive year continued in utter disaster, beastcoast found the strength to move forward.
Furthermore, the circumstances that led them not to undertake the journey have created an even stronger bond between the players, who now whenever they have the opportunity, speak of the strong bond of friendship they have and their ability to resolve any problems they may have discussing it openly.
Being the reason that prevented the team from going to the Major had a strong impact on Scofield, who in May of this year decided to speak openly about his acute anxiety and how he works to overcome it.
In a recently released documentary shot by the organization at AniMajor, he even explained how the love for the game and the support he is receiving from his teammates have helped him keep playing, even if that could still hurt. more his health.
After Thunder Predator stole the show in Singapore, beastcoasts were hoping to do the same in Kiev at WePlay AniMajor. A good run would not only play well for their overall morale, it would also secure them a ticket to TI10. Unfortunately, a few too many draws and a couple of group stage defeats interrupted their adventure at the start of the tournament. One of the first things they talked about after the tough final defeat in the group, against Team Nigma, was their “shame”, not only for the outcome of that particular streak, but for their overall performance at the AniMajor.
Proving their worth
In the aforementioned documentary, it’s been mentioned a few times by several players who feel like they don’t deserve the TI invitation this year. It was Evil Geniuses’ win over Nigma at the low end of the playoffs that secured them the ticket, and while that was a relief, none of the players are happy with how the season has turned out for them.
This alone will most likely motivate them to go further on the TI10 stage, to eliminate the guilt and show that they really deserve it.
One of the main reasons SA teams have fans on their side is their chaotic yet extremely flashy play style. This is happening mainly because the SA scene has always lacked a structured game plan. While beast costs, K1 said in the video made on AniMajor, no one in the SA scene has a well-developed plan that respects the timing, rotations, and super-focused strategies built for the team they are facing. “Nobody in SA does that,” he said, while admitting that what they always rely on is every player’s instinct. Unfortunately, when instinct is misleading them, unforced errors occur, a game is lost, and apathy stabilizes. This is a circle the beast is trying to break before TI10 starts.

While they can bring the craziness of the SA to the TI stage, it’s hard to imagine them as TI10 champions. A realistic prediction would be that they can definitely improve their position in the top eight of TI9. beastcoast has some heroes of comfort and design peculiarities that can fool even the most experienced.
K1, although he only started his professional career in 2017, is Wraith King’s all-time leader in professional games. It has the most games played on the hero and boasts the most wins, 26 of which. He is also the one who introduced Abaddon’s carry into pro games and is still willing to mess with his opponents by picking him first, which in 99% of cases would mean the hero is played in a support position.
Patch 7.30 brought direct and indirect buffs to Silencer, a hero StingeR abused back in the days of TI9, and while he was pretty off-meta, it worked perfectly in his hands. The recent ESL One Fall 2021 was another disappointing event for them, but it revealed that beastcoasts are testing everything that looks powerful in the current meta. From Earthshaker, Keeper of the Light, Queen of Pain and Sven, to Slark, Omniknight and Sand King, they are all open to finding what suits them best. With Papita now on their side to give them more guidance and work with them on controlling their emotions and with more than a month of bootcamping in two different regions, this could very well be another year for the five guys who brought SA Dota under. the spotlight in 2019 to go even further.
