Alliance

After a long nine-month hiatus and a string of setbacks, Team Alliance is returning to the Dota 2 scene. This Swedish organization, founded in 2012, was once one of the most influential teams in eSports, especially in 2013. Back then, they won several major tournaments such as G1-League, Star Series V and VI, and DreamHack Summer 2013. Their most significant achievement was winning The International 3, where they beat Natus Vincere 3:2 in a tough final. However, after this period of success, the team faced difficulties and their results worsened.

In the DPC 2021-2022 season, the team finished a disastrous 0:14 in the summer tourney, leading to the disbanding of the roster before The International 2022. In a subsequent attempt at a comeback, Alliance assembled lineups from players in Southeast Asia and South America, but both projects closed in December 2023. The organization is now attempting to return to the international stage once again, signing a Dandelions lineup from Western Europe under the guidance of coach and team legend Jonathan Loda Berg.

In their first match at the PGL Wallachia Season 2 tournament, they showed their fighting spirit by beating Invictus Gaming, which was a great start to their new journey. The team from Sweden then battled against Team Falcons, but lost. In yesterday's match, Alliance players confidently handled one of the strongest teams in North America, nouns.

Natus Vincere

Klement Puppey Ivanov made an unexpected decision to start the season as a stand-in for Natus Vincere instead of assembling his new roster for Team Secret. This became one of the most unexpected reshuffles on the Dota 2 scene after TI that no one expected. Puppey's return to Natus Vincere is symbolic, as this is where he started his career and 10 years ago, in August 2014, he left the team after winning his first The International to start Team Secret.

Puppey and Miroslav BOOM Bichan joined the Natus Vincere roster at DreamLeague Season 24 qualifiers and other tournaments. BOOM replaced Dimitri nefrit Tarasic, while Puppey temporarily took Arman Malady Orazbayev's place. However, the renewed NaVi squad encountered difficulties in their first DreamLeague qualifying match, unexpectedly losing to L1GA TEAM, which cast doubt on their chances for a successful performance, despite Puppey's experience. The team clearly lacked cohesion and confidence at the start.

At the PGL Wallachia Season 2 tournament, Natus Vincere players started with a loss to Heroic. However, the team soon managed to find their second wind, and they scored two important wins in a row over Team Waska and MOUZ, which strengthened their position in the tournament.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers continue to believe in NaVi players, purely because of the tag, although there is no pressure on the current roster at all and no obligation to play at 100%. The Alliance team showed in Romania that they returned to Dota 2 with the goal of winning, not updating anti-records. It is the team of the Swedish organization that shows the ability to make it to the next stage here and now, if you look at all three previous game days.
