We continue to count the days before the start of the new DPC season, simultaneously glancing towards the Dota 2 Champions League, which has saved us from boredom more than once. There, by the way, the second week of games started successfully.
After 7 days, we have already outlined favorites and losers, and we already roughly know what to expect from the teams. Of course, this does not negate the factor of surprise and the tricks of the teams, which can definitely happen, but nevertheless, everything is better than it was before the start.
The introduction was delayed. HellRaisers against Team Empire on the second day of the second week of the group stage.
HellRaisers form
Let's start the analysis with HellRaisers, who are the favorites in this fight. We can agree with this.
There were very few HellRaisers in the first week, but this was enough to be convinced of their efficiency. The new HR roster is as follows:
- watson
- re1bl
- Limitless
- Gilgir
- malady
When forming the roster, HR, like most CIS teams, was inspired by the history of Team Spirit. The club took under its wing very fighting performers who have already earned honors for their past merits. The main headliners of the line-up are definitely a pair of watson and re1bl cows.
HellRaisers latest matches results
- Beat B8 Esports 2-1
- Lose from V Gaming with a score of 0-3
- Lose to Brame 0-2
- Beat NoMarci 2-1
- Defeat Hydra 2-0
So far, HR has two victories over the league debutants Hydra and NoMarci, but these debutants are far from being whipping boys.

Team Empire uniform
Team Empire will act as the catch-up in this match. I can also agree with this.
It seems that Team Empire is waiting for a disband or at least a major reshuffle in the roster. The leader of the Ghostik team spoke about this during one of the streams.
The idea with the young doesn't seem to have quite caught on, which might have been expected. The effectiveness confirms that completely "green" performers are unlikely to be able to impose a worthy fight on more experienced rivals.
Team Empire roster for Dota 2 Champions League Season 5
- lightless
- Mannik
- Ghostik
- [T] SA
- Kaori
If there are changes, it is unlikely that the team will leave [T] SA and Ghostik. It seems that this is the backbone on which the "Empire" is built.

- Lost to Brame with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Nemiga Gaming 2-1

History of personal confrontations
Previously, in these lineups, the teams did not meet within the framework of official games.
Outcome
In this match HellRaisers look much stronger, and I don't see why they can lose. For the "Imperials" not everything is going smoothly within the team, and the latest results are weighing on a heavy burden.
Outcome: victory for HellRaisers.
BOOM
