The first week of the Dota 2 Champions League Season 5 group stage has somehow come to a criminally fast end, don't you think? Perhaps it's for the best, let's move on to the DPC sooner.
But, until this happens, we continue to admire the battles here. And next in line we have a legendary battle.
B8 Esports vs. NoMarci. Dendi vs. SoNNeikO. What could be better?
In fact, almost everything, but oh well.
Let's figure out what to expect from the battle of these heavyweights, and which of the teams will ensure victory in this fight.
Form B8 Esports
Let's start the analysis with B8 Esports, as the team is seen as the favorite of this match. Very interesting, of course.
B8 is rated as a nominal favorite only because they have not yet had time to really play on D2CL. If they played this line-up of 4 matches, I am actually sure the opinion will change.
B8 Esports roster at D2CL Season 5
- V1olent
- Dendi
- Bd3px
- Velheor
- Gatciy
Yesterday, before the start of the match with Creepwave, there was an emergency change. Velheor joined the team, but he is unlikely to succeed in making the weather.
B8 Esports Recent Results
- Defeat Winstrike Team 2-1
- Defeat Khan 2-0
- Lost to Creepwave 0-2
- Lose from V Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Creepwave 0-2
Of course it's too early to judge the first map, but it seems that B8 has no chance at all in this line-up. Absolutely nothing is glued: they lose either to the classic Medusa or to the carry Tidehunter.
B8 Esports Heroes

The most successful B8 Esports heroes in patch 7.30: Beastmaster (5 matches, 100% win), Bloodseeker (4 matches, 100% win), Gyrocopter (2 matches, 100% win).
Form NoMarci
NoMarci will play as the catch-up in this match. Here is our exit.
Yes, the NoMarci team is totally unimpressive and totally unsympathetic to me. But against the background of the current B8, they look much stronger for me.
NoMarci Roster
- Daxak
- Dodren
- Noticed
- forcemajor
- SoNNeikO
We are familiar with the roster and unlike B8, this roster already has a slight chemistry. Nevertheless, they went through the open qualifiers here, and played 3 matches in the group stage, and therefore, in this regard, the team is in favor.
NoMarci Latest Results
- Lose from V Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Creepwave 1-2
- Loss from HellRaisers with a score of 1-2
Although all the matches were lost, there was a struggle in each. And the rivals are at a level higher than B8.
Heroes of NoMarci
Most played NoMarci heroes in patch 7.30: Disruptor (4 matches, 0% win), Tidehunter (4 matches, 0% win), Monkey King (3 matches, 66% win).
The most successful NoMarci heroes in patch 7.30: Abaddon (2 matches, 100% wins), Magnus and Dark Willow (1 match and 100% wins).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play with each other in official matches.
Outcome
Earlier I said that NoMarci Team Hydra is the main contenders for me for the last line. You can safely add B8 to this list.
In this fight, I will believe in NoMarci, as there has been a tendency for SoNNeikO to lose the start of the tournament and perform well in the later stages. In addition, now we have to play with B8, which, judging by yesterday's game, are not here at all.
Outcome: NoMarci's victory.
