On the tenth anniversary day of the Dota 2 Champions League Season 5 group race, Khan and Hydra will face off.
This fight will not be devoid of intrigue and, perhaps, will give us something more than beating one of the teams.
I sincerely believe in this and for no reason at all. The teams, in my understanding, are actually equal.
We are figuring out who will be stronger in this match and will strengthen their positions in the standings.
Khan shape
The potential winner of this match is seen by the bookmaker Khan. I don't want to strongly argue with this, but the gap between the teams, in my understanding, should be even lower than proposed.
Khan made a good splash last season, unexpectedly squeezing out several games from teams that seemed to be in a class much higher. They have made two substitutions this season and are playing quite average so far.
Khan roster for Dota 2 Champions League Season 5
- Layme
- Pikachu
- Pjon
- Goddam
- Accell
I don't see much point in dwelling on the five Khan. It is very difficult to single out someone from their camp, and it is not necessary at all.
Khan Recent Results
- Win over Brame 2-0
- Lost to Creepwave 1-2
- Lose to Brame 0-2
- Defeat Team Empire 2-0
- Defeat Nemiga Gaming 2-1
So far, Khan naturally lost to the favorites of the tournament and won against teams of a lower class (if we speak of Empire). The victory over Nemiga is a very good indicator.
Khan heroes
Most played Khan heroes in patch 7.30: Morphling (9 matches, 44% win), Troll Warlord (7 matches, 57% win), Lina (6 matches, 50% win).
The most successful Khan heroes in patch 7.30: Tiny (3 matches, 100% win), Io (2 matches, 100% win), Monkey King (2 matches, 100% win).
Hydra shape
Hydra will oppose Khan as catching up. Step on your heels, I would say.
At the start of the tournament, it seemed that the Kyrgyz composition of Hydra was an undertaking, to put it mildly, but during the campaign, Zayac and the company were accelerating and now they have a place in the TOP-4. The squad still lacks stability, but hard work will fix that.
Hydra roster for Dota 2 Champions League Season 5
- dream`
- Askold
- Blizzy
- Le don
- W_Zayac
Apart from dream, Blizzy and W_Zayac, Askold deserves praise. This mid lane plays on an interesting pool of heroes like Earth Spirit, which often makes his opponents perplexed.
Hydra Latest matches
- Lost to Creepwave 0-2
- Lose to Nemiga Gaming 0-2
- Lost to HellRaisers with a score of 0-2
- Beat NoMarci 2-1
- Defeat Team Empire 2-1
Hydra play in a wave-like manner, but it's stupid to blame them for that. At Dota 2 Champions League Season 5, it's hard to find an unconditionally stable team. The only ones that come to mind are Creepwave, but not about them now.
Hydra Heroes
Most played Hydra heroes in patch 7.30: Tidehunter (3 matches, 0 Win%), Ember Spirit (2 Matches, 0 Win%), Snapfire (2 Matches, 0 Win%).
The most successful Hydra heroes in patch 7.30: Bane, Night Stalker, Lion, Beastmaster, Monkey King have 1 match and 1 win each.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, in these lineups, the teams did not play with each other in official matches.
Result of the match
I will expect an equal fight and approximately equal play from this match. I'm going to catch a map from Hydra.
Exodus: +1.5 on Hydra.
