Once we recovered from the ubiquitous replays of the first DPC season, they caught us outside of it. At Dota 2 Champions League Season 7, the group stage came to an end and now we were supposed to review the playoff pairs, but this did not happen.
Teams in both groups failed to identify the strongest and will now participate in replays for 2nd-4th place. Let's start the review of this action with the Winstrike vs V-Gaming match in Group B.
Winstrike Form
Winstrike will play as the favorite in this match. I think this is quite easy to agree with.
A pair of tiebreaks formed as needed. We are not the first to see Winstrike in such a situation, and therefore there is faith in their success.

At the end of the group stage, D2CL Winstrike made a mistake with substitutions, but it seems that they will approach the tiebreaks fully armed.

It's impossible to call Winstrike's performance at D2CL successful. If it were like that, the team would go directly to the upper bracket of the playoffs.

Form V-Gaming
V-Gaming will face Winstrike in tiebreakers. The same V-Gaming that have already opposed Winstrike in replays, but already within the DPC.
Then the team went to them in the status of an outsider, this time the distribution of forces is similar. The difference is obviously in the status of the tournament and the teams.
V-Gaming roster
- TA2000
- hAze
- destroyed
- Antares
- ArrOw
Apparently Antares fit into the team tightly and suits the Kazakhs, and therefore will remain at the base. Although, perhaps his future depends on the upcoming replays?

The Kazakhs went through the season very confidently, but the end of the race turned out to be exhausting. As a result, now they are here.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play each other 4 times. All 4 matches were won by Winstrike.
Match result
Since the teams know each other as flaky, a clear advantage is on the side of Winstrike. The clubs have played each other more than once and V-Gaming has never been able to take the meeting.
Outcome: Winstrike wins.
