The final day of Dota 2 Champions League Season 3 has come. Today we will find out the name of the champion of the third season.
But before that, we would like to know who will play for the right to be called the champion of D2CL. We have only two options.
V Gaming is already in the final, which means that either HellRaisers or B8 Esports will compete against them. There is no other way out.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from the final of the lower bracket, whether HR will be able to get revenge from the Kazakhs or B8 Esports will continue their expansion.
HellRaisers form
HellRaisers will approach this fight as a nominal favorite. This, as for me, is sad.
It's sad that a team showing a game like HR is the favorite. However, it is not for me to decide.
Yesterday's match of HR against V-Gaming turned out to be as simple as possible for the latter. Either HR got up on the wrong foot, or decided to try something (for example, the Dawnbreaker peak), but the outcome was, to put it mildly, depressing.
HR Recent Results
- Defeat from Team Empire with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Qwerty 2-0
- Defeat Nemiga Gaming 2-0
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-1
- Lose at V Gaming 0-2
At the beginning of the playoffs, it seemed that here it is, a real “uprising” of HR, but yesterday's fight blurred this idea.
HR Heroes
Most played HR heroes in patch 7.30: Sven (6 matches, 65% win), Invoker (5 matches, 80% win), Shadow Demon (5 matches, 80% win).
Most successful HR heroes in patch 7.30: Keeper of the Light (3 matches, 100% win) Ember Spirit (3 matches, 100% win).
Form B8 Esports
B8 Esports are suitable as a catch-up to the match. And as for me, it is not so.
This is the first time I say this, but B8 in this match looks like a potential winner and favorite to me. Nevertheless, at D2CL, the Dendi team shows a good game.
Yesterday, after an unprincipled defeat on the first map, B8 managed to come to their senses on subsequent maps and, as a result, broke into the TOP-3. And so far it is somehow not clear why HR should stop such B8s.
B8 Esports Recent Results
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-0
- Lose from V Gaming with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Team Unique 2-1
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-0
- Defeat Team Empire 2-1
The B8s are overclocked and I would not want to screw up, but it looks like Dendi has finally found a recipe for creating a successful team. Of course, it might just be a lucky coincidence.
Heroes B8
Most played heroes in B8 Esports: Shadow Demon (16 matches, 56% win), Void Spirit (9 matches, 66% win), Undying (9 matches, 44% win).
The most successful heroes of B8 Esports: Elder Titan (4 matches, 100% win), Beastmaster (3 matches, 100% win), Bloodseeker (2 matches, 100% win).
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams played three times during the season. HR won twice, B8 Esports won the last match.
Match outcome
In the past days, I somehow did not really believe in B8 Esports, constantly subconsciously returning to the old days of the Dendi club. Now, after yesterday's games from both teams, there is much more faith in B8 Esports, and the odds on them are a little more pleasant.
Outcome: victory for B8.
