Royal Never Give Up turned the game against Team Aster as part of DPC CN 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I
ІлляDPC CN 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I is now in full swing. The fourth tournament week brought us many interesting matches, one of which we will tell you about.
Royal Never Give Up met Team Aster as part of the DPC CN 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I, and the match was really impressive, because both teams are the favorites of the season, and in general they are not the last places in the Chinese top.
The first map started with FB for Team Aster at the third minute in the mid lane. I would like to note their unusual choice of a hero for the mid lane, it was Pudge, a very infrequent guest on the professional stage. From there, the teams traded kills occasionally, with little advantage to one of them, until at 18 minutes a fight broke out in the forest of the forces of darkness, as a result of which Aster earned a 5k gold advantage. The next fight is again in the same forest, but already at the 23rd minute and they consolidate their dominance by taking Roshan. Then the teams stopped the skirmishes and went to the farm, until a comeback occurred at the 33rd minute. RNG managed to win a small fight, taking Roshan at the same time, and completely evened the gap, after which they went to the base of the opponents and calmly finished the game at 38 minutes with a score of 20-24.
A special mention deserves Chalice, who performed excellently on Nature's Prophet. He constantly pushed the lanes and drew the attention of opponents to himself, thereby preventing them from breaking their structures.
The second map started more intensively. Team Aster players took the FB in the first minute and continued their dominance, earning eight kills by the 10th minute, giving up only two in return. Further, the situation slightly went in favor of RNG. They often made one or two quick kills and retreated, which helped them not to widen the gap in the economy. In the end, the team justified its name, even having lost two sides, they did not give up, and repeated the experience of the previous map, one won the fight, and the team successfully takes Roshan. As a result, RNG wins the match in the 50th minute with a score of 19-19.
After the meeting, the situation for both participants did not change much: RNG still continue to occupy the first line of the rating, in turn, Aster, stepping on their heels, are in second.
