An interesting duel between NoPangolier and Winstrike in the Decider Tournament for ESL One CIS DPC 2021. The winner goes to the first division, and the loser goes to the second.
NoPangolier defeated rather weak HellRaisers at this championship, and then lost to Team Empire. Winstrike, in turn, lost against NoTechies, but defeated Gambit Esports.
Both teams gathered their rosters just a few days before the qualifiers, No Pangolier has a completely new roster, but they played a lot together before that in different teams. Winstrike decided to make 3 substitutions at once and, it seems, have strengthened quite well. There are young players there and excitement about the importance of a place in the first division will definitely influence.
