There are only two weeks left until The International 10, which means we still have to wait. Fortunately, there are local events like Dota 2 Champions League Season 4 for this.
The group stage of season 4 is in fact just beginning, which means the juiciest yet to come. We hope our case will be just like that.
Day 6 will open with a PuckChamp match against Nemiga Gaming. We will try to figure out what to expect from the series, and who will eventually emerge from it as the winner.
PuckChamp Form
PuckChamp will be the favorite in this match. With this I more than agree.
PuckChamp has shown promise since the DPC seasons. As for me, they are on the right track to justify them.
The team does not slide into endless reshuffles, they work on the atmosphere within the team (which is clearly visible from the social networks of the team). Perhaps the effectiveness is still far from the desired, but as they say patience and work will grind everything.
PuckChamp Latest Results
- Defeat qwerty 2-0
- Defeat Team Unique 2-0
- Lose from V Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Defeat from Team Empire with a score of 1-2
- Defeat V Gaming 2-0
PuckChamp got off to a great start on D2CL season 4, beating perhaps its main rival, V Gaming, all the more dry.
PuckChamp Heroes
Most played PuckChamp heroes in patch 7.30: Keeper of the Light (8 matches, 87% win), Sven (6 matches, 83% win), Gyrocopter (6 matches, 83% win).
The most successful PuckChamp heroes in the patch: Lina (5 matches, 100% wins), Sand King (3 matches, 100% wins). Bane (3 matches, 100% wins).
Nemiga Gaming Form
Nemiga Gaming will act as the catch-up in this match. Fully deserved.
In general, Nemiga is a very interesting team. It seems that you look at them and think: "They are playing well, after all." But immediately after that, the third map against Galactic Aliens happens and somehow I don't want to call the game good.
Typical TIR-2/3, capable of outplaying its counterparts in rank, but also capable of flooding as if not flooded. Hence the incomprehensible effectiveness.
Nemiga Gaming Latest Results
- Defeat V Gaming 2-0
- Loss from HellRaisers with a score of 0-2
- Defeat from Team Empire with a score of 1-2
- Lose from V Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Defeat to Galactic Aliens 1-2
So far at D2CL Season 4 Nemiga look like one of the weakest teams. They have already earned 2 losses, and in the match against PuckChamp I think they will also earn the third.
Heroes of Nemiga Gaming
Most played heroes of Nemiga Gaming: Pangolier (7 matches, 57% win), Sven (6 matches, 100% win), Lina (6 matches, 66% win).
Most successful Nemiga heroes: Sven (6 matches, 100% win), Vengeful Spirit (3 matches, 100% win), Zeus (2 matches, 100% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play with each other three times during the season. They won PuckChamp twice, and the last face-to-face meeting in the framework of D2CL S3 remained with Nemiga.
Match outcome
PuckChamp has been "harnessed" for a long time and it seems to me it's time to "go". They had a great start to the season and I hope they will continue to play in the same spirit in the match against Nemiga.
Outcome: Puck Champ wins.
