The Dota 2 Champions League Season 4 playoffs are coming. The last playoff before the start, we really hope the most ambitious tournament of recent years, The International 10.
In the last review, we evaluated the odds of Winstrike and Brame, and now it's time for the second pair of the upper bracket. B8 Esports vs. Creepwave.
This match, like the first one, promises to be very interesting. How it will happen in practice - we will find out.
We figure out who will emerge victorious in our confrontation and move further along the grid.
Creepwave shape
The first will be the undisputed favorite of the match between Creepwave and B8 Esports. With this, no questions arise.
The debutants of the league in the fourth season made a very serious statement for a bright future for themselves. Already in the group stage it became clear that Creepwave would have to be reckoned with.
The fact that they ended the group on the second line is more likely a decision of the Creepwave themselves. Having arranged for themselves a comfortable exit to the playoffs, the team allowed themselves to relax, for which we will not blame them in any case.
Creepwave Recent Results
- Defeat Nemiga Gaming 2-0
- Beat B8 Esports 2-1
- Defeat V Gaming 2-1
- 0-2 loss to Galactic Aliens
- Lose to Brame 0-2
Again, I don’t think that the team, which went through the group stage without any problems, has abruptly forgotten how to play and, in fact, gave two matches without ideology.
Heroes of the Creepwave
Most Picked Creepwave Heroes in Patch 7.30: Tidehunter (5 Matches, 40 Win%), Sven (4 Matches, 25 Win%), Bane (4 Matches, 25 Win%)
The most successful heroes of Creepwave 7.30: Chen (2 matches, 100% win), Monkey King (1 match, 100% win).
Form B8 Esports
B8 Esports will do the job as a nominal outsider. With this, I think, no one will argue.
Despite the fact that B8 Esports have apparently progressed for two seasons, this still does not make them a stable team. We have all the makings for this, but there is still a lot of work.
Nevertheless, reaching the top bracket of the playoffs once again suggests that B8 Esports are moving in the right direction. This is quite pleasant, since we will potentially get another strong "middle peasant" in the CIS arena.
B8 Esports Recent Results
- Defeat V Gaming 2-1
- Defeat Nemiga 2-0
- Lose at PuckChamp 1-2
- Defeat Winstrike Team 2-1
- Defeat Khan 2-0
In the last matches of the group stage, B8 Esports played well. Hopefully the trend will continue in the playoffs.
B8 Esports Heroes
Most played B8 heroes: Shadow Demon (18 matches, 55% win), Void Spirit (15 matches, 66% win), Undying (10 matches, 50% win).
Most successful B8 heroes: Beastmaster (4 matches, 100% win), Dark Willow (3 matches, 100% win), Lina (3 matches, 100% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams met twice during the season. Both times, Creepwave celebrated the victory.
The outcome of the fight
As much as I like B8, they will have problems in this match. Throwing dust in their eyes in the final rounds of the group stage, the Creepwave dulled the vigilance of their opponents. In the playoffs, I expect to see filigree performances from them.
Outcome: victory for Creepwave.
