DotA does not stop on the day of knowledge. Dota 2 Champions League Season 2 is not thinking of ending and will offer us 3 group stage matches.
The opening confrontation will be the match between B8 and V Gaming. Potentially, the match could surprise.
Not the most status teams play on D2CL, which means you can wait for almost anything. This fight runs the risk of becoming just that - unpredictable.
However, no one canceled the game with one wicket. And whether the duel between B8 and V Gaming will be such a match - let's try to figure it out.
Form V Gaming
In the status of a favorite, V Gaming will approach this fight. It's silly to argue with that.
The Kazakh team announced itself in the second season of D2CL. They passed the open qualifiers and, surprisingly many, showed a good game in the group stage.
In the playoffs, the team reached the 5-6th place, having lost in the decisive meeting for themselves the Hellbear Smashers, who in turn reached the second line. This season, the Kazakhs received a direct invitation and are already justifying the organizers' decision by winning 3 out of 3 matches.
V Gaming Latest Results
- Lose at Empire 1-2
- Lost to Creepwave 1-2
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-0
- Beat PuckChamp 2-0
- Victory over HellRaisers with a score of 2-0
In the third season, V Gaming has already outplayed almost all direct competitors. The B8 is not exactly like that.
Heroes of V Gaming
We have not seen the new V Gaming patch yet, which means we will build on the data already available.
Most played heroes in patch 7.29 in the last month: Lina (13 matches, 76% win), Ax (12 matches, 66% win), Puck (12 matches, 58% win).
Most successful V Gaming heroes: Winter Wyvern (4 matches, 100% win), Faceless Void (4 matches, 100% win).
Form B8 Esports
B8 Esports will act as the catch-up in the match. It is stupid to disagree with this.
We can start at least with the fact that B8 shouldn't have performed at D2CL Season 3 in principle. The team received an invitation, as Winstrike will not be able to participate in the tournament.
I think it will not be a surprise to anyone if Dendi and the company fail to show a decent result. I would be surprised if they beat someone stronger than the conditional qwerty.

You can add to this list a probable victory over qwerty, in the match against which, at the time of writing the forecast, B8 is leading on the second map (the first Dendi and co were taken).
B8 Esports Heroes
The situation is similar to V Gaming.
Most played heroes: Hoodwink (9 matches, 55% win), Terrorblade (4 matches, 100% win), Puck (3 matches, 100% win).
Most successful heroes: Terrorblade (4 matches, 100% wins), Puck (3 matches, 100% wins).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not meet in official matches.
Match outcome
As I said above, if B8 Esports can beat V Gaming, I will be very surprised. Therefore, I believe in the pure victory of the Kazakhs.
Result: V Gaming 2-0.
