The group stage of Dota 2 Champions League Season 15 is only gaining momentum, which means that even more interesting matches await us.

Previously, the teams had one meeting with each other, then the victory went to X3, today they will again have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.

Shape X3

As I wrote earlier, the team's performances at D2CL are almost always unsuccessful, in season 6 the team took 10th place, in seasons 10 and 11 - 9th. In addition, the Russian team can boast only 1 place at Russian Championship 2022, and 3 place at CPC 2022. The players also performed well at the last DPC EEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II, where they took 6th place, which allowed them to stay on their rank.

At the current tournament, the team played the first HF match on the second game day, and the match was quite interesting. The first map was tense, both teams constantly seized the initiative, and the match dragged on for 61 minutes, but in the end, X3 pulled out the victory. The second map was less intense, X3 had a great early stage and mid game, thanks to winning fights with Enigma's ultimate, and did not take the game far into the late game, the match ended at 37 minutes.

• 1x Series - win X3 2:1 No Bounty Hunter

Match prediction

It is difficult to determine the winner, both teams are far from the strongest and play at approximately the same level. X3 looks a bit stronger with their participation in DPC leagues and tournament victories. In addition, the team has already won the first match, unlike future opponents, which clearly affected the team's morale.

Outcome: X3 victory
