There are 3 months before the start of The International 10, and the teams need to do something. During a period of serious stagnation, local online tournaments will save the day, and one of them is Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 2.
As in the first season, we will face the TIR-2/3 fights between teams from Europe and the CIS. But, most importantly, most of these same teams will compete in the Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 2 with updated rosters, and therefore there is an opportunity to see the birth of new superstars.
Perhaps this will happen already in our fight. AS Monaco Gambit vs. Spider Pigzs.
Let's figure out what to expect from the fight between Gambit and SP, and who will win the first victory in a new season.
AS Monaco Gambit Form
Let's start the match with the form of the nominal favorite of the confrontation. This is AS Monaco Gambit, although in our case such information looks virtually meaningless.
After failing to qualify for The International 10, AS Monaco Gambit presented their new roster: dream and eine left the active roster, and G and Koma took their place. It is the factor of the renewed roster that somehow does not allow us to call As Monaco Gambit an exact favorite.
We haven't seen any games in the new roster, so let's remember the latest results, raising what we have for this.
AS Monaco Gambit Latest Results
- Lost to OG with a score of 0-2
- Beat Tundra 2-0
- Lost at ViKin.gg with a score of 0-2
- Loss from HellRaisers with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Fantastic Five with a score of 1-2
At the end of last season, we watched the decline of the former Gambit, capable of fighting in the majors with the best teams in the world. Now a new season is starting for teams outside The International, and it's time to start it right.
Spider Pigzs shape
Spider Pigzs led by LeBron will oppose the updated roster of AS Monaco Gambit. Also in the updated lineup
Spider Pigzs had a busy last season. They changed the roster, changed the organization, took the TOP-2 in the lower division of Europe, left the organization and failed the closed qualifiers at TI.
Spider Pigzs Latest Results
- Lost to Creepwave 1-2
- Lose to Liquid with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Bald Reborn 2-1
- Defeat Into The Breach 2-1
- Lose to Nigma 0-2
Now Spider Pigzs have once again changed the roster, and LeBron, Funn1k and No! Ob remained from the backbone of the former Level Up. Let's see if the reshuffle will bear fruit very soon.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play 2 official matches. Both times, Gambit celebrated a 2-1 victory.
The outcome of the confrontation
Without seeing the games of the new lineups, it is difficult to determine their strength. Plus, in our case, it is the opening match of the tournament, which will further affect the overall quality of the game. Nevertheless, I think that Gambit will prove to be stronger in this confrontation, because in reality the replacements in their roster are definitely not weakening, but I cannot say the same about Spider Pigzs.
Outcome: victory for Gambit.
