So if i understand

Underdog: Nobody expects them to achieve anything and they probably wont
Dark horse: Nobody expects them to achieve anything but are capable of going far?

So talon is an underdog and trace is a dark horse

Underdog for me at least is match specific, while Dark House is like the whole tourney, you can be both in a match(ex. Acend in Finals of Champs 2021),

underdog is the team predicted to lose in a specific match
dark horse is a team that could potentially make a surprise run in the entire event
