Fissure Universe isn’t the primary event on the brand new patch, however it’s most likely going to be the primary one the place the meta is considerably settled. By now most groups are most likely conscious of essentially the most damaged stuff within the recreation and it will be a lot more durable to cheese a victory from a stronger opponent. Which means higher groups ought to win extra constantly and reliably, so at present we’re going to have a fast have a look at the state of the skilled scene and which groups is likely to be underrated.
Regardless of not taking part in PGL Wallachia, Parivision did get an opportunity to play on the brand new patch throughout Dream League Season 25. Finally falling to the event’s champion, they nonetheless managed to get third within the event and even received the second group stage with solely a single recreation misplaced to the BetBoom workforce.
It’s price noting that DL Season 25 was a web based event, much like FISSURE Universe. We really feel like for now it is a vital variable to think about when evaluating Satanic’s potential efficiency. This 17-year outdated prodigy is a beast, however we’ve seen him be barely much less spectacular in LAN environments.
Total, we really feel like Parivision is certainly arrange for fulfillment on this event. Between different notable groups doubtlessly feeling exhaustion from the final couple of tournaments and contemplating the general stage of uncooked expertise on the workforce, they’re undoubtedly within the dialogue for a top3 placement.
One other PGL Wallachia absentee, one which didn’t look as sizzling in the course of the second Group Stage of DL Season 25. It seemed just like the workforce obtained a bit rattled by the brand new patch and didn’t adapt shortly. With over a month of preparation, although, they need to be in high type for the upcoming tournaments.
Their high type is nothing to scoff at — they’re undoubtedly one of many contenders for the rostrum placement. All through a lot of the final yr they’ve been top3 in all of the tournaments they’ve participated in, and even received the primary Blast Slam.
This event goes to be the proving grounds for the workforce. Can they reclaim their rightful place as a Tier S workforce, or will they fail to adapt? Our guess is on the previous — it is extremely arduous to argue towards a few of the names on the workforce’s roster.
Watching Aurora develop is thrilling. The return of Mira to the skilled scene is already making waves, and we’re additionally beginning to slowly respect TORONTOTOKYO offlane play. Don’t get us fallacious — there may be nonetheless loads of rising to do, however the essential half is that the workforce appears higher and higher with each recreation.
New patch can be useful in that regard. The roster was signed shortly after the Wandering Waters replace, so the workforce is growing collectively, with out doubtlessly dangerous preconceptions.
A top6 end in Wallachia for a newly shaped roster is already spectacular, however we really feel just like the workforce can do even higher. A top4 result’s undoubtedly not out of the query, although the competitors goes to be harder than it was within the earlier event.
That is the busiest interval in Dota since ceaselessly and there’s a fixed stream of fascinating tournaments. Below such situations the meta and the sport develop at an unbelievable tempo and yesterday’s favorites can shortly discover themselves overtaken by hungrier groups.
Who do you suppose deserves some further consideration within the FISSURE Playground? Possibly there’s a workforce you’re rooting for? Share your ideas within the remark part beneath.
