A new day brings new new DPC matches. This time we will watch the confrontation between the teams of Western Europe, and to be a little more precise, the teams from the top division of Western Europe.
The match should turn out to be colorful, because the reigning champions of the region, the Gladiators, are playing. The team that made a breakthrough last season and forced to reckon with itself.
Rivals will be Brame. An ever-promising team that will once again play in the top division after a disappointing relegation from the first draw in 2021.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this match and earn the first important points on the way to the Major.
Uniform Gladiators
Gladiators will play as the nominal favorite in this match. It's stupid to argue with this, but what's stopping you from doing it?
Gladiators are the reigning European champions, which means they will be in favor in almost any situation. Of course, there is an advantage on paper, but you should not completely trust the input data: here I suggest recalling the performance of Gladiators at Dota 2 Champions League Season 7, where there is not much left of the champion game of gladiators.

After triumphing in the first season of the DPC, the gladiators are tired. I can't explain the last episodes otherwise.
Heroes Gladiators
On the new patch, Gladiators did not play official matches. They had enough time to prepare for the start of the season and study the new realities of DotA, which means we can expect interesting decisions like Shadow Fiend for the first position and so on.
Brame form
Brame will act as a nominal outsider in this match. All to the point.
Brame is a team that made its way to the top division of Western Europe through the thorns of the second league. The path of the Greeks to the elite division cannot be called easy: they went through the regular season, and besides, they played in replays.
Composition Brame

The Greek five completed the roster on February 18, saying goodbye to the two cores represented by Nefrit and ThuG, whose places were taken by Focus and ThuG.

After the end of the DPC season, Brame, just like the Gladiators, got tired, which translates into such performance.
Heroes Brame
The situation for the Greeks is similar to that of the Gladiators. The team did not play official matches on the new patch.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in official matches. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Outcome
In this duel, the teams will accelerate. For me, the outcome is not so obvious, since the Gladiators, after a solid performance last season, showed a very sluggish game at the end of it.
In this match, Brame has a chance to grab at least a map.
Match outcome: +1.5 on Brame.
