DreamLeague Season 26: Stage #1 - Group B Overiview
2205
DreamLeague Season 26 is already underway, featuring 16 Tier-1 teams competing for the grand prize of $250,000. As in previous seasons, the tournament format divides all participants into two groups, where teams battle each other for a chance to advance to the playoff stage. In this article, we will focus on Group B, highlight the strongest contenders, and identify those unlikely to reach the playoffs.
Group B Teams – DreamLeague Season 26
Group B consists of 8 teams. Let’s start by listing them:
With this lineup, those familiar with professional Dota should already be able to identify the clear favorites. Still, we’ll break it down in more detail.
Group B Favorites – DreamLeague Season 26
The undisputed favorites of Group B are Team Falcons and PARIVISION—these teams are very likely to secure a spot in the playoffs. Additionally, Gaimin Gladiators and Avulus have shown promise, but they are still not quite at the level of PV and Falcons.
Our prediction for teams that will comfortably reach Stage 2:
- PARIVISION
- Team Falcons
Group B Underdogs – DreamLeague Season 26
Now that we’ve covered the favorites, let’s discuss the teams least likely to advance. We believe Edge and Yakult Brothers are the top candidates for early elimination. As for NAVI Junior and Talon Esports, they might surprise us with decent performances and potentially reach Stage 2, but advancing to the playoffs will be a real challenge for them.
Our prediction for teams that will not reach Stage 2:
- Edge
- Yakult Brothers
