A short pause after half of the regional championships has passed. Teams from China, North America and, of course, Eastern Europe will start their matches today.
We are interested in the CIS, and to be even more precise, the duel between Team Spirit and HellRaisers. The reigning world champions will fight against challengers represented by HellRaisers.
It would seem that there are no surprises in this match, and Spirit should be destroyed, as they did during the first DPC season. In fact, we can get a very interesting confrontation, not without intrigue.
Team Spirit Uniform
Team Spirit will play as the nominal favorite in this match. It's pointless to argue with this.
Spirit are the reigning world champions and regular DPC season champions. After The International 10, the "dragons" not only did not sag in terms of the level of play and motivation, but it seems they only improved.
Team Spirit roster
- Yatoro
- TORONTOTOKYO
- collapse
- Mira
- Miposhka
We know this five very well, and therefore we will not separately mark someone. We can only say that while in Dota 2 patch 7.30, we should expect a confident game from Spirit.
Team Spirit last matches results
- Lost to Tundra Esports 1-3
- Beat AS Monaco Gambit 2-0
- 2-1 victory over NaVi
- 2-0 victory over HR
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2-0
Obviously, Spirit had few competitors in the regional league. The main danger for the "dragons" was represented by teams from Europe like Tundra and so on.

HellRaisers form
HellRaisers will act as catch-ups in this match. In the case of Spirit in opponents, this is easy to believe.
At the end of the first DPC season, HR sank a lot and began to demonstrate not the most confident game. If the CIS league continued for another week, or even two, and with a high degree of probability we would not have seen HR in the finals.
Composition of HR
- watson
- re1bl
- limitless
- Gilgir
- malady
HellRaisers has a rather young roster and is not yet well seasoned in battles. That is why HR perform at all local tournaments, moreover, they do it successfully.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play with each other in the regular league in the CIS. Then a clear victory was celebrated by Spirit.
Match outcome
The latest HR games are admirable. Of course, Dota 2 Champions League is not the most significant event, but this does not make HR weaker.
It's too early to talk about the victory over Spirit, but I can easily believe in 1 taken card.
Result: +1.5 on HellRaisers.
