We continue to monitor the development of events during the first DPC cycle. In the next round of the CIS League, we will have a really worthwhile match.
NaVi and HellRaisers will play in a face-to-face confrontation for the first time this season. The main contenders for the composition of the Team Spirit company in the first major of the season.
Both teams finished well the first half of the first cycle and now retain their chances of being in the TOP-3. Theoretically, NaVi and HR can still compete with Spirit for leadership in the region.
Whatever one may say, this match is very important from the standpoint of the tournament situation. We are looking at how the confrontation between the CIS giants will end and who will earn the coveted points.
NaVi form
To my surprise, NaVi will be the favorite here. One can agree with this, but it is rather difficult to do it.
If you look at club tags in a vacuum, then NaVi is really a favorite, and what a favorite. But in current conditions, "born to win" is far from ideal.
NaVi Roster
- V-Tune
- Noone
- GeneRaL
- ALOHADANCE
- Solo
The combat personnel are still acclimatizing and stumbling where the road seemed to be flat. However, there are a lot of gaps in NaVi's game.

- Defeat Team Empire 2-1

- Lose at Tundra Esports 1-2
- Defeat Team Unique with a score of 1-2
From the recent performance it is clear that NaVi in the new season is a team capable of giving battle to the best, but at the same time losing cards to the worst.

HellRaisers form
They see HellRaisers as an outsider of the bookmaker. Strange considering the performance this season.
For now, HellRaisers look like a team ready to advance to the Major. It's too early to draw definitive conclusions, but you can mark HR with a pencil.
HellRaisers Roster
- Watson
- re1bl
- Limitless
- Gilgir
- Malady
HR managed to collect almost all the main rising stars of the CIS Dota. So far, the bet on the young roster is playing, but in fairness for HR's sake, we saw only in matches with teams of a lower class, although VP got in there.

The match with NaVi is very revealing and quite important. However, this has already been mentioned more than once.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams in these lineups did not play with each other. This fight will be the debut face-to-face confrontation in the new season.
Match outcome
In this fight I am expecting 3 cards. NaVi in the new roster does not seem to play less than 3 cards in a series at all, and although HR looks powerful, they do not seem so confident as to cover NaVi dry.
Result: total is over 2.5.
