If the match between OG and COOLGUYS becomes a New Year's gift for the first, then the duel between Team Secret and Team Liquid will be a gift for lovers of high-quality Dota. I really hope so.
The fight for the top positions in the standings is no joke, and therefore neither Team Secret nor Team Liquid will pull their sleeves down towards the end of 2021. And yes, the results of the teams at OGA Dota PIT Season 5: Europe/CIS are not indicative.
What's important is what happens within the DPC. And there are interesting things.
We figure out who will be stronger in the battle of the giants and will arrange for themselves an important victory before going on pause.
Team Secret uniform
The bookmaker sees Team Secret as the favorite in this match. The situation is twofold.
The bookmakers' opinion regarding Team Secret was influenced by the results of the latter at OGA Dota PIT Season 5: Europe/CIS. There Secret is in the TOP-3 and today they have a chance to become champions.
Team Secret Roster
- Nisha
- SumaiL
- Iceiceice
- YapZor
- Puppey
The composition, as it turned out, is working and very solid. But this does not prevent Secret from experiencing difficulties in the matches of the top division of Europe.
Team Secret Recent Results
- Beat Tundra Esports 2-1
- Defeat Team Liquid 2-0
- Defeat Nigma Galaxy 2-0
- Lose to Nigma Galaxy 0-2
- Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1-2
This is what happens in Europe. Today you beat Nigma Galaxy with no chance, and tomorrow you fly 0-2 with no chance as well. The competition is very tough.
Team Secret Heroes
Top Picked Team Secret Heroes in Patch 7.30: Magnus (7 matches, 71% win), Monkey King (5 matches, 100% win), Snapfire (5 matches, 60% win).
The most successful Team Secret heroes: Monkey King (5 matches, 100% win), Slardar (3 matches, 100% win), Templar Assassin (3 matches, 100% win).
Team Liquid Form
The bookmaker sees Team Liquid as catching up in this match. Again, the big question is whether this is the case.
Judging by OGA Dota PIT Season 5: Europe/CIS, then yes, Liquid is not in favor. But when you look at DPC 2021/22 Season 1, you can't say so.
Liquid Roster
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- zai
- Boxi
- iNSaNia
The updated roster, with two TOP-3 of The International, is working. Here, by the way, an interesting storyline emerges.
Team Liquid Latest matches
- Defeat Team Tickles 2-1
- Lost to Team Secret 0-2
- Beat Tundra Esports 2-0
- Defeat Alliance 2-0
- Lost to OG with a score of 1-2
So far, Liquid is 4-0 in the upper division. But this is a very shaky 4-0 and, perhaps, by the end of the year Secret will spoil the mood with "liquid".
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).
History of personal confrontations
In the new season, the teams managed to meet within the OGA Dota PIT Season 5: Europe/CIS. Then Secret celebrated the victory.
Exodus
I expect an equal fight and I think the game will be on 3 maps. This is my stake.
Outcome: total +2.5.
