We continue to follow the developments at Dota 2 Champions League Season 7. Next up is the confrontation between IVY and Winstrike Team.
Calling this match central will not work. Too much spread in the rank of teams.
IVY is one of the worst teams of the season, unlikely to qualify for the playoffs. Winstrike is one of the main contenders not only for the group stage, but also for the championship in the season as a whole.
We are trying to figure out if IVY has any chance of clinging to the series and potentially jumping on the train going to the playoffs.
Winstrike Form
Winstrike Team will play as the absolute favorite in this match. It's pointless to deny it.
Winstrike proved to be a worthy team last season, having advanced to the top division. A D2CL S7 level tournament is a clearly surmountable obstacle on the way for such experienced performers as Daxak and SoNNeikO.
Winstrike Team
- Daxak
- Dodren
- Noticed
- forcemajor
- SoNNeikO
I don’t see the point in getting acquainted with the composition in the nth circle. Winstrike Team are frequent guests in our off-season forecasts, and therefore I propose to immediately move on to the team's recent performance.
Winstrike Team Latest Match Results
- 1-0 victory over V-Gaming
- 1-0 victory over Hydra
- Lost to Mind Games with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Nemiga Gaming 0-2
- 2-1 victory over Brame
Here, the loss from Nemiga with a score of 0-2 immediately catches the eye. This result is not what you expect from a team of the level of Winstrike, but you should not forget about the status of the tournament.

IVY Form
IVY will act as an absolute outsider in this match. Their status did not come as a surprise.
As mentioned above, IVY is one of the weakest teams of the season. Conditional chekoldyriki could compete with them for this title, but they are in a different group.
Composition IVY
- Lowskill
- Mo13ei
- TheBloodySky
- Qupe
- jmn
If in the case of Winstrike we do not dwell on personalities because of their merits, then here the situation is the opposite. I don't see the point in rambling on an already obvious thing: this team is no match for Winstrike.

- Lost to V-Gaming 0-2
- Lost to B8 Esports 0-2
The icing on the cake in terms of IVY's performance at D2CL should be the loss to B8 Esports. Losing to the Dendi team with mega creeps is a sign from above.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not meet each other in official matches. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
The outcome of the fight
I won't go around and around. Easy Winstrike win.
Result: 2-0 in favor of Winstrike.
