Let's digress for a moment from DPC 2021/22 Tour II. Fortunately, there is D2CL Season 8 for this.
The eighth season of Dota 2 Champions League has already reached the playoffs, but we cover it less often due to the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, some matches are worth hooking on.
One of these is the duel between VP and Winstrike. Yes, not just a match, but a duel for reaching the grand final.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger and earn the right to reach the grand final.
Form Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro will play as a clear favorite in this match. Arguing with this is simply pointless.
Having received a direct invitation to the playoffs, the "bears" so far justify the trust of the organizers. By the way, Xakoda has officially joined the roster.
Virtus.pro roster
- Pure
- gpk
- DM
- yamich
- Xakoda
The mono-national roster of Virtus.pro looks strong, but only against the backdrop of current rivals. And really serious bands traditionally remain outside D2CL.
Virtus.pro latest match results
- 2-0 victory over PuckChamp
- Victory over HellRaisers with a score of 2-1
- Lost to Team Spirit 0-3
- 2-1 victory over Gambit Esports
- Victory over Entity with a score of 2-0
While Virtus.pro is on horseback, there is a feeling that this will continue to be the case.
Heroes Virtus.pro
Virtus.pro's most picked heroes in patch 7.31: Shadow Shaman (3 matches, 100% win rate), Beastmaster (2 matches, 100% win rate), Weaver (2 matches, 100% win rate).
The above heroes are the most successful Virtus.pro characters.
Winstrike Team Uniform
Winstrike Team will act as an outsider in this match. This is true.
Winstrike Team, like Virtus.pro, received a direct invitation to the playoffs from the organizers. Like Virtus.pro, they justify the faith of the organizers so far.
Winstrike Team
- Daxak
- Larl
- Noticed
- forcemajor
- SoNNeikO
By the way, it is worth noting that Winstrike Team is no longer Winstrike Team. In connection with the war in Ukraine, the organization disbanded the roster, and now only the tag remains from the club. The situation does not seem to affect the performance, but morality can definitely be knocked out.
Winstrike Team Latest Match Results
- Lost to NaVi 1-2
- 2-0 victory over Brame
- Lost to V-Gaming 0-2
- Beat AS Monaco Gambit 2-1
- 2-0 victory over CHILLAX
The opponents on the way of the Winstrike Team were not the most solid ones. VP should be a major stumbling block.

Match outcome
This fight has more faith in VP. They show a confident game and it seems that Winstrike will not be a problem for them.
Result: VP 2-0 victory.
