The playoffs of the third season of the Dota 2 Champions League are rapidly reaching the end. There are only 4 teams left in the tournament, and we will be watching their matches today.
We've already talked about V Gaming and HR, now it's time to take a look at a couple of losers. Who would have thought that B8 Esports and Team Empire would fight for getting into the TOP-3.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger and will pass in the TOP-3, and who is destined to stop at the 4th line.
Team Empire uniform
Empire will be the nominal favorite in this match. I agree with this completely.
In general, it was not expected to see Empire at the bottom of the bracket, let alone fall there after the very first round of the playoffs. In general, at D2CL Season 3 Empire, we see not the same as it was just a few weeks ago during ESL One Fall 2021.
Empire Recent matches
- Victory over HellRaisers with a score of 2-1
- Beat B8 Esports 2-0
- Lost to Spider Pigzs with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Nemiga Gaming 2-1
- Beat PuckChamp 2-1
So far, Empire is progressing along the lower bracket not without problems. We see this in every match of the "Imperials".
Team Empire Heroes
The most voted Empire heroes in patch 7.30: Lina (6 matches, 33% win), Mirana (5 matches, 60% win), Pangolier (5 matches, 60% win).
The most successful Empire heroes in patch 7.30: Medusa and Tide (3 games and 3 wins each), Shadow Demon and Vengefull Spirit (2 matches and 2 wins each).
Form B8 Esports
B8 Esports will play on the other side of the barricades in the match for getting into the TOP-3. Of course, they will act as an outsider.
However, in the course of the tournament, B8 Esports quite unexpectedly turned from "whipping boys" into a rather worthy team for the D2CL level championship. Dendi and the company are seizing the moment and giving their best, which is clearly commendable.
Also worth noting is the work of the B8 scouts (if any). Young talents like Watson can significantly "lift" the CIS scene.
B8 Esports Recent Results
- Lost to Team Empire 0-2
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-0
- Lose from V-Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Team Unique 2-1
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-0
Getting into the TOP-4 is already a good result for B8 Esports. However, perhaps the pressure of the Dendi team will continue further?
B8 Esports Heroes
Most played heroes in B8 Esports: Shadow Demon (16 matches, 56% win), Void Spirit (9 matches, 66% win), Undying (9 matches, 44% win).
The most successful heroes of B8 Esports: Elder Titan (4 matches, 100% win), Beastmaster (3 matches, 100% win), Bloodseeker (2 matches, 100% win).
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams met twice during the season. For the first time, the victory was celebrated by B8, but the last match in the D2CL group stage remained with B8.
The outcome of the fight
All good things come to an end sooner or later. I think the B8 Esports streak will end at this point
Outcome: victory for Empire.
