Alliance lose eighth map in a row in DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I

The match against their former players, Alliance lost with a score of 2:0. For them, this is the fourth defeat and the eighth lost map in a row.

The first Goonsquad vs. Alliance map got off to a pretty good start for Team Nikobaby. They led over 8k gold in the 28th minute and also took two T3 towers from the opponent. However, they had a fatal fight in the rosh-pit, although the aegis went to w33 on Tusk, Goonsquad dragged out the fight and brought it to the teamwipe for Alliance. Goonsquad break the central lane, and there is nothing left of the advantage of the Alliance team. At 33 minutes, Alliance have a horrendous fight where heroes die without ransom, and Goonsquad take the two remaining lanes and make mega-creeps. Alliance tried to play again on the first map, but GG had to be written in the 39th minute.

On the second map, Nikobaby played Bristleback, where he needed a lot of farm to counter the enemy heroes. And although his overall value was not bad, the rest of the team sank a lot in gold. At the 25th minute Goonsquad have 8k gold advantage and enter the base to the enemy. The Alliance tried to rectify the situation and they go out in smoke to enemy territory, where everyone is killed. At this point, it was clear that they would not be able to win. Alliance write GG at the 37th minute.

Goonsquad 2:0 Alliance

With such a game and statistics, Alliance has almost no chance to stay in the first division. Most likely, we will be waiting for a change in the composition, we hope that this time the management will make the right decision about who will have to leave the team. After all, losing to kicked players from your squad is a clear hint that the choice to kick fell on the wrong people.

Goonsquad have been performing well in games and are ranked fifth in the DPC rankings in the WEU region. They are ahead of Gaimin Gladiators, Team Secret and Alliance.

The next match for Alliance will be against Gaimin Gladiators, while Goonsquad will try their hand against the OG team.
