We continue to study the group stage of the seventh season of Dota 2 Champions League. We have a very interesting match ahead of us.
Winstrike Team and Mind Games will play in the central confrontation of the third gaming day at D2CL Season 7. The struggle of the participants of the highest division, by the way.
The Winstrike Team managed to fight their way up through the second division. Mind Games were on the verge of relegation to the second league, but managed to cling to the slot and keep their place in the elite league.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from the fight, and who will be stronger as a result.
Winstrike Team Uniform
The bookmaker sees Winstrike Team as the nominal favorite in this match. Their right.
Winstrike Team did not impress me much during their appearance before the start of DPC 2021/22. In fact, the composition turned out to be quite combat-ready and the passage to the first division confirms their viability.
Winstrike Team
- Daxak
- Dodren
- Noticed
- forcemajor
- SoNNeikO
It is not clear whether Winstrike will play specifically in this roster, but if they do, everything looks very good.

Form Mind Games
Mind Games are seen as catching up in this match. You can agree with this, or you can disagree.
Mind Games has a very interesting story in the new season: it was Team Unique, which the rapper bought out. The first games, the players, apparently, were not excited by the ongoing changes and leaked all the matches.
Lineup of Mind Games
- 7jesu
- fn
- Petushara
- Bignum

The roster is quite combative and it was noticeable already in the course of the top division.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in official matches. This fight will be the first face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Outcome
In this match, I expect an equal fight, but I tend to win Mind Games. While both teams are on the rise right now, it looks like MG's experience in the top division will have an impact on their performance.
Exodus: Mind Games win.
