We will not say goodbye to Dota 2 Champions League Season 5 soon. And good.
After all, we are already accustomed to the teams, and therefore we will continue to monitor their attempts. On the second day of the second game week, we will have a Team Empire benefit show.
They will play two matches in a row and I'm afraid this will be their end. Within the framework of D2CL, of course, since they have a slot in the DPC major league, and therefore we will definitely see them there.
We are trying to figure out if Team Empire will be able to make a comeback in the tournament and improve their position after 8 days of D2CL.
Form V Gaming
Since we talked a lot about Empire above and wondered if the "Imperials" could strike back, then they are here as catch-ups. This is true.
V Gaming, although they look much weaker this season than in the past, still look more solid against the background of Empire. This is, first of all, thanks to the backbone of V Gaming, which stayed to play together, gaining only support from position 5.
V Gaming roster at D2CL S5
- TA2000
- hAze
- destroyed
- ArrOw
- Antoha
The names are familiar from previous seasons, except for the point substitution of the 5th position.
V Gaming Latest Results
- Beat B8 2-1
- Defeat to Winstrike Team with a score of 1-2
- Defeat to Hydra with a score of 1-2
- Beat NoMarci 2-1
- Lose to Brame 0-2
As we can see, this season for the Kazakhs is still extremely difficult. But things are even worse for their rivals.
Heroes of V Gaming
Top Picked V Gaming Heroes in Patch 7.30: Disruptor (17 matches, 70% win), Batrider (15 matches, 73% win), Bloodseeker (15 matches, 60% win).
The most successful V Gaming heroes in patch 7.30: Specter (5 matches, 100% win), Anti-Mage (4 matches, 100% win), Naga Siren (4 matches, 100% win).
Team Empire uniform
Empire was talked about in the previous analysis of their match against HR. There isn't much to add.
They are here as an outsider. The outcome of this match is largely determined by the outcome of the match against HR.
Empire roster on D2CL S5
- lightless
- Mannik
- Ghostik
- [T] SA
- Kaori
As for me, the bet on the “youngsters” didn’t work for the “Imperials” when collecting the squad.
Team Empire Latest matches
- Lost to Brame with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Nemiga Gaming 2-1
- Lost to Khan 0-2
- Lost to Creepwave with a score of 1-2
- Defeat to Hydra with a score of 1-2
Here, with a high degree of probability, the defeat from HR will be added, and we will get a very sad picture.

The most successful Team Empire heroes in patch 7.30: Medusa (4 matches, 100% win), Vengeful Spirit (2 matches, 100% win), Razor (2 matches, 100% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, in these lineups, the teams did not play with each other.
Result of the match
I repeat that the outcome of this match, in my understanding, entirely depends on the result of the match against HR. If "Empire" shows the fight against "HellRaisers", it will be able to catch on to this series.
I would bet on V Gaming as a prefair, but they are not sugar this season either. In general, I will believe in Empire and give them a discount of 1 card in this fight.
Exodus: +1.5 for Team Empire.
