Alliance vs COOLGUYS: Battle of the outsiders

The new season in Dota 2 has started! Many battles have already been decided. A lot of intrigues and exciting matches are waiting for us ahead. Dota 2 fans need to enjoy another DPC season that brings together the best teams in the world. DPC WEU 2021/22: Division I is an online Dota 2 tournament from November 29, 2021, to January 23, 2022. The eight strongest teams in Europe will be competing for $280,000. On top of the cash prizes, the teams will be fighting for a ticket to the majors and the important DPC points needed to qualify for TI11.

On December 14, Alliance and COOLGUYS will play their next match in the group stage of Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22. We’ll find out which team will get the first win of the season very soon.

Alliance hasn’t looked good since before The International 10. The changes that followed the main tournament of the year have not changed the situation. Alliance started the new season with two defeats. The renewed squad could not even win a map. The opponents were not the easiest, but the team was obliged to cling to the maps. Now the team has no one to cling to. Everyone is playing badly. Alliance are unlikely to compete for the top 4 this season. Frankly, the team is one of the main contenders for relegation to the second division. But now Alliance has one of the most important matches in which they have no right to lose points because the team will face the weakest opponent in the group stage, and if they cannot outplay COOLGUYS, it’s hard to imagine that they will score points in any other match.

COOLGUYS is the main underdog in the group stage of the European Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22 division. Few expect the team to make it into the top 6 and remain in the first division. This is quite understandable as the competition in the region is too high. The first two matches showed that COOLGUYS is not ready to play in the first division. The team is two heads weaker than the other teams. In the first four maps, COOLGUYS has never been able to last even 30 minutes. They have always been beaten faster. Yes, now the team will face Alliance, which is also not in the best shape, but even in this situation, COOLGUYS looks like a hopeless outsider of the meeting.

COOLGUYS has shown too weak game in the first matches. The team is fighting not to win on the map but for the frags. Alliance also did not shine but looked better, and her skill level is higher. With not the strongest opponent, Nikobaby can pull off the match solo. The bookmakers are offering odds of 2.00 for Alliance to win, which looks like a good option.
