We continue to study the lower bracket of the playoffs at Dota 2 Champions League Season 7. Next up is the match between CIS Rejects and Mind Games.
Not the most familiar commands for the lower grid, but these are the realities. Two major players will meet in a match for life, and today we will not count one team at D2CL.
We are trying to understand who will be the winner in this not the most predictable meeting.
Form Mind Games
Mind Games will be the favorite for this meeting. It is Mind Games, according to the bookmakers, who have more chances to win in this confrontation.
Cema and company quite deservedly carry the status of the strongest team in this match. It's all about team stability.
Lineup of Mind Games
- 7jesu
- fn
- Petushara
- Bignum
- Slayer
The team does not swap players during the season and continues to play with the full roster, which is a plus. Also, the performance of Mind Games during this D2CL season cannot be cancelled.

In the match against HellRaisers the team looked good, especially on the first map. They could not win, but in fairness, few people expected this.

Mind Games Most Picked Heroes: Tidehunter (8 matches, 50% win rate), Rubick (8 matches, 37% win rate), Lina (7 matches, 42% win rate).
Most successful Mind Games heroes: Batrider (2 matches, 100% win rate), Treant Protector (1 match, 100% win rate).
CIS Reject Form
CIS Rejects will play as an outsider in this match. It is rare to find such a phrase in the review of CIS Rejects matches.
Indeed, recently CIS Rejects almost always play as a favorite, but this meeting is an exception. The fact is that CIS, like most teams, are playing around with roster changes.
Composition of CIS Rejects
- Ramzes
- Depressed Kid
- 9pasha
- RodjER
- fng
Here, almost anyone can miss the game, no matter what replaces the retired Yatoro players. Even the champion of The International cannot guarantee victory in a match against not the most serious opponents.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams in these lineups did not play with each other. The duel in the lower bracket of the playoffs will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Match outcome
In this match, I hope for the "rebellion" of the CIS Rejects and a rebuff from their side. Nevertheless, I believe more in the triumph of Mind Games.
Outcome: victory for Mind Games.
