The denouement is approaching not only in the CIS, but also in South America. The hot region will host the matches of the third round of the lower bracket today.
EgoBoys and NoPing e-Sports will play in the opening duel. A very unexpected couple right through.
NoPing, the best team of the last season, has already managed to surprise us in the closed qualifiers by falling into the lower bracket. EgoBoys, the best team in the second division, also surprised by reaching the second round of the upper bracket.
We are trying to understand the tendencies of South America and predict the outcome of the fight. It is likely that this will not be so easy.
Form NoPing
Let's start with the main, as it seemed, favorite of the tournament, which has already tarnished its name. This is NoPing.
In the first match of the closed qualifier, the team that outplayed everyone in the region, which fought against EG and Quincy, lost to the last place of the second season. If you look at the results, Infinity turned out to be not simple, but NoPing does not paint it in any way.
Fortunately, in the lower bracket, NoPing came to their senses and started playing their own Dota. It’s true, now there’s no room for error.
NoPing e-Sports Latest Results
- Lose to Quincy Crew 1-2
- Lost to EG with a score of 1-2
- Lose at Infinity Esports 1-2
- Beat Interitus 2-0
- Defeat Hokori 2-0
If we recall the ending of the second DPC season, then the important moment will be the performance of the NoPing player in the decisive match. The team can experience serious drawdowns in morale, and falling into the lower bracket of the qualifiers can provoke them.
EgoBoys Form
The EgoBoys in the closed qualifiers for The International from South America are showing very satisfactory performance. At least satisfactory for a team that has passed the second division.
In the first round of the playoffs, they beat the eminent rival Infamous, who, however, was not in his best shape. But the winners are not judged.

- Lose at Infinity 1-2
- Lose from SG e-sports 2-1
- Defeat to Infamous 1-2

Match outcome
Even though EgoBoys are trying hard and seem to be playing well, NoPing still looks stronger. hFn and the company, the main thing is not to lose to themselves, which is what they are famous for.
Outcome: NoPing wins.
