Today in China will be the final match of the season. In the replay for 2nd place, Team Aster and RNG will meet.
Both teams are 5-2 and are in contention for a higher spot on the podium. Both teams started the season with changes, and therefore the 2nd line in the top division of China will be a good sign.
This fight will be a repeat of the meeting between Team Aster and RNG in the last round of regular games. Let's see who is stronger this time.
Team Aster Uniform
Like last time, Team Aster will be the favorite in this match. The faith of bookmakers in the victory of Aster is stronger, even despite the previous series.
Before the previous match, we singled out Aster as a potential winner. RNG managed to surprise by taking away points from Aster and winning the match.
Team Aster roster
- Monet
- Ori
- xxs
- Boboka
- Siamese.C
Aster's main problem this season is the inability of 3 players to reach China. The team played separately throughout the season, and therefore Aster's achievements are respected.

The last series against RNG took place on unfavorable conditions for Aster: the match was played the next day after the final day of the Intel World Open Beijing, where Aster put a lot of effort into taking the championship. LaNm said that the team had almost no sleep before the final day of DPC 2021/22.
Heroes Team Aster
In patch 7.30 Team Aster favored Pangolier (11 matches, 45% win rate), Storm Spirit (10 matches, 70% win rate), Chen (9 matches, 77% win rate).
Most successful patch heroes: Batrider (3 matches, 100% win rate), Rubick (2 matches, 100% win rate), Slark (2 matches, 100% win rate).
RNG form
As a nominal outsider, RNG will suit this match. You can agree with this.
The victory in the head-to-head battle during the regular season was not easy for RNG. With the new roster, the Kings have difficulties in almost every match, even though most of them win. What is worth the victory over IG in the debut match of the upper season.
Composition RNG
- god king
- Somnus`M
- Chalice
- FelixCiaoBa
- xNova
The RNG roster looks very strong, but the performance makes it doubtful. They can beat Aster, but they can flood LBZS.

Aster RNG managed to win not only thanks to their personal performance, which they certainly have at their best, but also thanks to the condition of the former. Aster were exhausted after the IWB finals, which the "kings" wisely took advantage of.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams had a face-to-face confrontation within DPC 2021/22 Season 1 – China Upper Division. Then the victory was celebrated by RNG.
Match outcome
In this fight, I expect a rematch from Aster. Rested and motivated, they look stronger than RNG, even despite the previous meeting of these teams.
Bottom line: Aster wins.
