The first DPC cycle starts on November 30 in Western Europe. More precisely, the top division of this very cycle.
Everything is as usual: eight teams compete for a prize pool of $ 205,000, as well as 690 DPC points. These points play a key role, as they will be important in the future when distributing invites to The International 11.
In addition, the top four top division teams will represent the region in the first Major tournament of the season. The competition is no joke.
For the passage to the first major, Team Liquid will also fight COOLGUYS, who will play in the first match of the season for both teams. And it seems that the winner is already known here.
We are trying to figure out if COOLGUYS has a chance and whether the mix that overcame the lower division last season can defeat the title rival, who recently changed the roster.
Team Liquid Form
Let's start the review of the match with a team that has something to say and wants to say it. Team Liquid will approach this match as the absolute favorite, which is not surprising at all.
Last season, Team Liquid was a formidable force in Europe, but being one and performing well are two different things. Therefore, Liquid were left behind in The International 10, having not mastered the qualification from Europe and, as a result, changed the roster for the new season.
Updated roster of Team Liquid
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- Boxi
- zai
- iNSaNia
The team was joined by MATUMBAMAN and zai - players who do not need representation, who will replace the departed Taiga and qojqva in their posts.
Team Liquid Latest matches
- Draw with sg e-sports 1-1
- Draw with Beastcoast 1-1
- Draw with Team Empire 1-1
- Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
- Draw with Alliance 1-1
These were the last attempts of the past roster in ESL One Fall 2021, where we were finally convinced of the fading of the roster, which had played together for more than one year.
Team Liquid Heroes
The most played heroes of Team Liquid in patch 7.30: Void Spirit (5 matches, 60% win), Earth Spirit (4 matches, 25% win), Omniknight (3 matches, 66% win).
The most successful Team Liquid heroes: Monkey King, Keeper of the Light, Dark Willow, Mars, Slark (1 match and 100% wins).
COOLGUYS Form
Team Liquid will be opposed by COOLGUYS, who advanced to the top division after a successful performance last season. They will fight as outsiders, of course.
Last season we were able to watch COOLGUYS under the Level Up tag. Since then, the line-up has changed slightly.
COOLGUYS Roster
- ThuG
- No! Ob
- Funn1k
- OmaR
- dnz
The newcomers are ThuG and OmaR, which have replaced RdO and LeBronDota. In general, the replacement seems to be of equal value, since the departed players, like the newcomers, do not stand out much against the background of all TIR-2 performers.
Tournament practice behind the updated Level Up, now COOLGUYS, has not been noticed. They will receive it very soon, and it is unlikely that it will be pleasant.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the clubs did not play with each other in official matches. The fight in the upper division of Western Europe will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
It seems that the most that COOLGUYS can count on is 1 card drawn. And it is doubtful to believe in such an outcome, and therefore I will bet on the net of Team Liquid.
Outcome: 2-0 Team Liquid.
