Team Aster and Elephant Lead Their Groups at OGA Dota Pit Season 5 China

Another Dota 2 tournament in the Chinese division started yesterday. This time we are witnessing the fifth season of the Dota Pit League series. It is attended by such teams as Team Aster, Royal Never Give Up, Invictus Gaming and Sparking Arrow Gaming. Group B includes Elephant, PSG.LGD, Vici Gaming and Aster.Aries.

Following the results of two playing days, Team Aster took the top position in Group A, and Elephant became the leaders in Group B. However, how did this happen? But we will talk about this later.

First game day

Within the first game day in Group A, only one confrontation took place with the participation of Royal Never Give Up and Team Aster. The latter managed to defeat the Royal Never Give Up, but the triumph was not easy for them. RNGs were able to take one card from their opponents, but they were still defeated in the match. In Group B, the Elephant had a great start in the battle against Aster. Aries did not lose a single map, taking their first victory with a score of 2-0. PSG.LGD fought in turn with Vici Gaming and, unlike Elephant, they did not manage to avoid some losses. The team lost on one map, but in the end they won with a score of 2-1.

Results of the first game day

Group A

• Royal Never Give Up 1-2 Team Aster

Group B

• Elephant 2-0 Aster.Aries
• PSG.LGD 2-1 Vici Gaming

Second game day

Day 2 saw two matches in Group A and one meeting in Group B. In today's first match, Team Aster and Sparking Arrow Gaming played against each other in Group A to compete for points that will help them advance to the playoffs. Aster, just like in yesterday's match, won, but this time they did not concede a single card. Both cards went to Aster in 30+ minutes. The second match fell on Group B and featured PSG.LGD and Elephant. The fight, just like the first match of the current game day, ended with a score of 2-0. PSG.LGD, although they approached the meeting in the status of a favorite, however, they failed to gain the upper hand in the fight over Elephant. The maps were completed in 34 and 32 minutes, respectively.

The most interesting and intriguing match of this gaming day was the duel that took place between Invictus Gaming and Royal Never Give Up in Group A. On the first map, Invictus Gaming took heroes for massive fights and good pushing lines. This brought them victory, but the Chinese made great efforts to achieve their goal. The map ended 53 minutes after it started. The next 2 maps went much faster and the players from Royal Never Give Up dictated their own rules there. In the second map, they took Hoodwink, whom we see in matches quite often, and not the most ordinary Arc Warden hero. The bet played and they closed the second map in 33 minutes. The third map went even faster. RNG decided to give up the board furrows to Lina and Gyrocopter. The strategy also played with a bang and brought the expected effect of Royal Never Give Up on the third map in 31 minutes.

Results of the second game day

Group A

• Team Aster 2-0 Sparking Arrow Gaming
• Invictus Gaming 1-2 Royal Never Give Up

Group B

• PSG.LGD 0-2 Elephant

What's next?

Based on the results of the past matches, we have the following state of affairs

Team Aster and Elephant have the best chances of reaching the second round of the Upper Bracket, as the leaders of their groups deserve this privilege. Royal Never Give Up, Invictus Gaming, PSG.LGD and Vici Gaming are in 2-3 places in their groups and still have good chances of reaching the upper bracket of the playoffs. Sparking Arrow Gaming and Aster.Aries, if they continue to perform in this spirit, will end their way in the championship after the end of the group stage.

Tomorrow we will have three other confrontations within the ongoing Dota Pit League Season 5 China. In Group A, Invictus Gaming and Sparking Arrow Gaming will fight, while Royal Never Give Up and Team Aster will rest, while in Group B, teams such as PSG.LGD and Aster.Aries, as well as Vici Gaming and Elephant will compete against each other.
