Starwraith's result for the second day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
The bet on the main opening of the tournament represented by BOOM and Outsiders players has paid off. Yamich didn't make it, but that didn't stop starwraith from scoring the most points yesterday.

Once again, I think that the bet on China will play, but I want to add YATORO to estimate how many points it will bring.
Auroralance result for the second day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
The supports did not bring the desired effect, especially the golden xNova, but at the same time, the cores helped to take the second place.

Yesterday the line-up was mostly pleasing, if not for the moment with Kataomi. Well, it was and was, but today the situation is easier.
Stable roster full of Chinese. Supports are definitely 5s. There is a feeling that both teams will finish 2-0, but even in this situation they should farm.

After yesterday, sheer tilt. Entity play 3 cards against EG, win, and gold cards bring 25 and 20 points each... I don't even want to talk about RNG, it's a complete failure... we'll just shoot at signature Chinese and take them out. nerves are just not enough...
Vanillareich result for the second day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
The team from different teams did not bring results. Cr1t- earns 16 points, the worst record in recent times, if not the entire fantasy league.

It's time for a tough choice, I'm sure that the match between PSG and OG will be incredibly interesting, but I believe more in the stability of the Chinese, so there are already 3 of them in the roster. The second part consists of golden Spirit, because it's risky to bet on the third pair of Fnatic/beastcoast.
s0d result for the second day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
Extremely poor choice of characters on the second day. Tobi, Kataomi and xNova show weak results.

All-in on PSG.LGD. In their current form, the Chinese look qualitatively better than their eternal rivals from OG.

Vanillareich result for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
In fact, vanillareich turned out to be the perfect hodgepodge, which got a taste after the incident with Misha. A combination of 3 PSG.LGD + 2 Eastern Europe brought him the championship today.

A choice without a choice, how else to describe the current line-up. I took two members of BOOM as the basis, because I believe that the Liquids fly out. Somnus mid is a test pick, I never took him, so I don't know how he is in terms of points. I took Xakoda for sups, in case RNG still can't cope with Outsiders, and Cr1t, who is present in the absence of other worthy players.
Auroralance result for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
The headliners of the first day are supports. Despite 2 games from PSG.LGD and 3 from Spirit, y` scored a little, but more. In principle, the barks did not disappoint either, but Yuragi is far from optimal condition, and therefore his choice in the future is questionable.
Auroralance selection for the second day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
Comment
Today it is quite difficult to make a choice. According to my feelings, all 3 series should end on three maps, and therefore the peak is next.
I deny EG because what the team showed in the group doesn't impress me. I predict a departure from SaberLight for Bulba's wards today (it's hard to believe in my own words). As for Liquid, I agree with vanillareich. I think BOOM learned a lot of useful things after yesterday's PSG.LGD and will be able to cope with far from fresh “horses”.
The first position belongs to RAMZES, who did very well against Spirit. Supports have stable xNova and Kataomi`, which execute the program at least.
NikitkaFLZ result for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
The Chinese are stable, Europe is not bad. In general, yesterday the rarity of player cards played a key role.

Comment
Today, unfortunately, no one from the Chinese plays, only RNG, but RNG.ana is there. In general, today the emphasis is on the fact that Liquid - BOOM and Entity - EG matches will have 3 maps each. Stable Yopaj, who will take out miCKe, JACKBOYS even with PSG.LGD scored normally, just caught unsuccessful smokes, Tobi + Kataomi show themselves very cool at this championship and always with networth. Another support is kaka, who will send Outsiders to TI qualifiers today.
s0d results for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
Although Spirit played 3 intense maps, the all-in bet on their composition did not quite justify itself. TORONTO, Miposhka and Ame scored predictably, but Collapse and Mira not so much.

Today we will watch the first matches of the lower bracket. Entity looked good against OG yesterday, and the group played well enough. MATUMBAMAN is remembered for the last game against RNG, good performance. The golden xNova will close the roster, a stable choice in this tournament.
Starwraith result for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
Yesterday, starwraith had a flop with Xxs offlaner. He served as the main reason for the “failure”.

Today you can focus on the players from the Outsiders, but I want to dilute them with the players from BOOM. I have a good feeling about this selection of players.

There are 3 matches in the PGL Arlington Major playoffs today, but all with their own value. It is possible that all of them will end on 2 maps, but there is a feeling that we will still have full-fledged bo3s, and the beginning, as before, at 17:00 CET.
We continue the competition of fantasyists, which received colorful outlines thanks to the PGL Arlington Major 2022. The tournament, by the way, starts the playoffs today.
We've taken you through the group stage and now we're getting ready to do the same with the main stage. By the way, the gap in the leaderboard is shrinking, but more on that at the end.
Auroralance result for the last day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage
The combination from Europe and China has paid off. The bet was made with an emphasis on possible replays, where both OG and RNG with Outsiders could get into, but even without taking them into account, it turned out not bad.
Auroralance selection for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs (09.08)
Comment
PSG.LGD is 100% sure that they will close BOOM 2-0, but this will not prevent them from knocking out their points. Further more interesting.
The remaining positions are closed by players who have a chance to play 3 cards each. I understand that OG and Ceb play against Entity with a substitution, and Team Aster against Fnatic with 3 (!) substitutions.
Naturally, this alignment of forces speaks in favor of OG and Aster, but I would not rush to conclusions. Dark horses are dark for that, to give a fight and catch on at least
for 1 card, because by group they showed that they are quite capable of this.
starwraith's result for the last day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage
In the case of starwraith, it will not be possible to find a clear puncture in the composition. Strange as it may seem, Ame “didn’t make it” yesterday, which is quite out of the meta.

I decided to take a mix of skilled Chinese players, I like the way Aster plays, I'm sure they will be able to bring points.
NikitkaFLZ result for the last day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage
The roster scored quite good indicators, but only XinQ “tackled up”. It is not surprising, because PSG.LGD finished off yesterday's opponents without any problems.
NikitkaFLZ selection for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
Comment
Today it's just a bet on Spirit, who should draw 3 cards from Outsiders and loot points, 2 stable carries from China: Monet + Ame should score, Taiga against Entity should also roll out Enigma and loot points.
The main fears for Team Spirit, purely because of gold and a principled match, I believed in TORONTO (I remember Lina and how he then smashed VP) and Miposhka, although objectively Outsiders are stronger on paper and according to the results in DPC, but I can’t drown for these gpkdota, DM, yamich and Xakoda:D. It would be possible to take the Chinese, but both Aster and PSG.LGD can close 2:0. 2 to 20.

Ame shows a consistently good game. I don't see the point in changing him. Today I will focus on the match between Outsiders and Team Spirit. Both teams from Eastern Europe took 2nd and 3rd place in Group B. The match should be spectacular. I'll bet on the composition of The International 10 champions.
Vanillareich result for the last day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage
The main “anchor” was Fata from Soniqs (ex-Quincy Crew). This is a consequence of the general form of Soniqs, who ended up on the list of the weakest at the home tournament.
Vanillareich selection for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs
Comment
Based on the already classic Ame, most likely I will have him there and will be there until the end of the tournament, along with Yatorogod, because Spirit is ahead of Outsiders in which I absolutely do not believe. Bzm is back in the mid lane as he usually loots 30+ points. Reinforcing PSG's y` line-up, and closing it with BoBoKa, because it's hard to believe that Aster won't pass Orange.
You can see the situation on the leaderboard below. In the lead from the first day forecaster NikitkaFLZ.

Getting ready for beautiful games and a lot of fantasy points (hopefully). The PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs are almost here, ladies and gentlemen.
The group stage of PGL Arlington 2022 is almost everything. Today we will look at the outcome of group A and possible replays.
It should be fun, and even more fun with Fantasy League predictions. Speaking of them.
Vanillareich result for the fourth game day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
After the incident with the choice of a non-playing player, conclusions were drawn. As a result - a good result among others.
Vanillareich selection for the last day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage

The basis is already the classic Ame, which brought the most points in the past days, along with ATF, because OG will almost certainly beat Talon Esports. The same regular of my bzm fantasy team on the mid lane. On Fata supports, because you don't have to choose, and yesterday's choice of supports was extremely unfortunate. xNova is simply a confident representative of Malaysia.
s0d result for the fourth game day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
The choice of the Chinese as the basis of the fantasy roster is the meta of this tournament. If there are improved player cards from this region, expect easy PTSs.

Today in group A will be the final matches. PSG.LGD are still showing a qualitatively better game compared to the rest of the participants and have already guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs, and their players, especially Ame, consistently bring fantasy points. Royal Never Give Up will also play against Liquid. Even though RNG turned out to be weaker than the Ti10 finalists yesterday, they should be able to cope with Team Liquid.
NikitkaFLZ result for the fourth game day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
China is meta. The smaller number of points brought is a direct consequence of the smaller number of matches, which are few at the end of the group.
NikitkaFLZ selection on the last day of the group stage
Comment
Signature Ame + XinQ, who always pull me out, after their comeback with RNG yesterday, against Thunder Awaken should be demolished without problems. On the other hand, they already know the opponent in the playoffs, and therefore they can chill on Pujas and so on. According to this logic, the main focus is on the key players OG - who need a victory over Talon, as it guarantees the upper bracket. Otherwise, there will be replays and OG will sort of play twice.
Starwraith's result for the fourth day of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage

I don't think that a small number of points from Chinese players yesterday is an indicator, but I decided to dilute their lineup with two players from Outsiders.

Today we hit the “controversial” teams, that is, those that have every chance of getting into replays. These are RNG and Liquid, and Outsiders with OG. It should be interesting, but I do not exclude the option of total failure and falling lower in the overall rating of forecasters.

NikitkaFLZ selection for the fourth day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
Comment
Today's bet is on PSG.LGD, like yesterday, in principle, already a default duo of supports XinQ + y`, Ame on a carry is a prefire. ATF still flew into the base, although offlaners do not need to be put, I believe in Ammar, since he is more carry in these OGs.
In the mid lane, miCKe is the only one from Liquid who impresses. They have important matches today, he should open up and loot us a lot.
In general, there are huge risks that PSG.LGD will close RNG and Outsiders easily 2:0, 20 minutes each and we won't see any points. They may even lose, since the upper grid is already in the pocket.
It's a matter of principle and the fact that you don't want to take anyone from Liquid/Talon/Outsiders. It would be more logical to take bzm/Yuragi, but I think they will play a draw with Outsiders today.
Auroralance result for the third day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
The choice of the three from BOOM fully justified itself, especially in the case of Yopaj. Deviation from the principle “I take China” I win practically did not affect the performance.
Auroralance selection for the fourth day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
Comment
The main principle for today is to choose those who will play two matches. I believe in Matu again as Liquid have Talon and Thunder today. For that reason, Boxi flies.
OG are groping for their game and today I expect a good performance from them, and since there is a silver Bzm, I choose it.
Ame and Fata are just stable.
The result of s0d for the third game day of PGL Arlington Major 2022

s0d's choice for the fourth game day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
Comment
The squad for Sunday's matches consists entirely of Group A players, as they will play 2 matches today, unlike their counterparts in Group B. PSG.LGD players continue to show a good performance, so you should not deviate from a stable strategy, even though they have opponents today RNG and Outsiders. Today's roster will also feature ATF and bzm as OG are clearly aiming for the top bracket and the two are showing solid play in their respective roles.
Starwraith's result for the third day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
Europe let us down yesterday, which can be seen from the result of this roster. Let's see if the result improves today.

Why not? What prevents us from placing 5 players of the best team and waiting for easy points, especially since they have opponents today that will allow us to do this.
Vanillareich result for the third day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
Ilya had a critical mistake when choosing supports. Misha misses the tournament, which means he cannot score points at all.
Yesterday was Saturday, you have to understand. In general, look at the Valorant predictions section.
Vannilareich's choice for the fourth day of PGL Arlington Major 2022
Comment
We repeat the choice of Ame, because PSG are not going to lose. Liquids play two matches, also against weak opponents, so Matoomba.
If you are hoping for a OG comeback, then bzm is the best choice for mid.
XinQ is chosen for the same reason as Ame, and the Outsiders play two matches, and there is a golden copy, so Hakoda.

In general, the major is accelerating, our league is with it. Now to specifics.
NikitkaFLZ result for the second game day (05.08)
Yesterday's bet on gold cards and the "Eastern" backbone worked with a bang. A couple of supports did not let us down either.

Again, the bet is stupidly on the Chinese, Aster has matches with Tundra/beastcoast, which they must destroy, and PSG.LGD are just machines - Ame + XinQ + y` - combo. They have matches with Liquid and Soniqs, I doubt that they will stumble with any of them.
Yura's auroralance result for the second game day (05.08)
The roster brought the expected result. The absence of gold versions of the cards affects, however, it is impossible to say that you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the second day.

Today we will move away from the usual tactics of firing for China and play with a knight. What I was guided by when compiling the composition is not important. The main thing, as we know the result, and I do not rule out that tomorrow I will regret the pick of three BOOM players at once, since the performance of Yopaj- and the company is something beyond my understanding.
The result of Danila starwraith for the second game day (05.08)
Even though PSG.LGD dominate the PGL Arlington Major, this does not mean that all players are evenly bringing in a large number of points. On the example of NothingToSay, we see this.

Chinese cores brought a lot of points for yesterday's game day, I want to believe in them again. Miposhka + Fishman I think they will definitely bring a good number of points, despite their face-to-face confrontation today. I just want to believe in bzm, NTS let us down a little yesterday.

The Chinese teams continue to show an excellent game in the tournament, in particular, PSG.LGD turned into a death machine. Therefore, the choice fell on 3 of their players. Also yesterday NAVI was pleasantly surprised, No[o]ne- is now in the best shape in recent times.
Vanillareich result for the second day
The bet was made on China, but the lack of improved versions of the cards affected the drawdown in points. On the new day, the approach was changed.

Comment
He took Ame and Yatoro as the basis: the first because PSG.LGD is now in the lead, and while they do not feel rivals, Yatoro took the second time, because he brought more than the rest of the points.
He took Bzm to mid, firstly because he is the youngest winner of the Major with 12k mmr, and in the hope that today OG will come from a negative score.
Supports chose Krit because EG will play with pretty weak teams today, and Misha with OG for the same reason as mid.

Yesterday we started our race for prestige and no one is going to stop after the first lap. We suggest you take a look at the pen test, and at the same time compare your performance with ours.
The result of Nikita "NikitkaFLZ" for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major group stage (04.08)
Leading positions at the end of the first day for Nikita. The FLZ believed the Chinese, and besides, they chose “colored” cards. The only puncture is offlaners in the roster, who gain little.

Full focus on gold cards... Xs, who won 4 cards yesterday: against EG and Entity brings only 24.72 points... The conclusions are made, I won't take more offlaners.
Here, the main emphasis is on stable carries - Ame and 23savage, who should score their points; Ori will get fat on NAVI, and the duo of supports that will score points even in the loose ones: Kataomi is definitely a top check, and Miposhka is the winner of Int and the top 2 Riyadh Masters - I hope for this Dream Team.
The result of Yura "avroralans" for the first day of the group stage of the PGL Arlington Major (04.08)
My mistake was to pick an offlaner and support from EG. The performance of the latter hints that none of the "evil geniuses" in my roster will appear in the near future. The plan for the future is a stable composition, mainly with representatives from China.

The emphasis was on "Western DotA", but as we can see, the East (read China) turned out to be more productive. On the second day of our impromptu tournament, Maxim decided to change his approach, leaving only one representative from Europe in his roster - No[o]one- from NAVI.

Yesterday, Ame performed well against Talon, dying only once on two maps. And even though the RNG players brought both matches to a draw, they also played decently. No[o]ne- can be singled out as the strongest NAVI player in this roster. Yesterday he single-handedly won a number of fights for the Born to Win.
The result of Danil "starwraith" for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major group stage (05.08)
For starwraith, betting on a couple of supports worked, but the main players noticeably let us down. 33 did not live up to expectations, so they reduced the line-up. For the new day, Danil prepared a new roster, where surprise-surprise, only one player from Europe

The Spirit support team played very cool matches yesterday, I think they are worth believing in today. PSG.LGD players are just a good stable choice, I doubt they will not bring the desired number of points.
The result of Ilya "vanillareich" for the first day of the PGL Arlington Major group stage (05.08)
The main reason for the lack of fantasy points is the emphasis on the regular version of the maps and the large number of players from non-Chinese teams. Errors were taken into account when compiling the lineup for the second day of PGL Arlington Major 2022 (05.08).

Vanillaraich's comment
Supports are Bobok and xNova, the first because Aster is still going great 2-0 and weak Navi are waiting for them, the second for the same reason, while the team has two draws, but I think Fantikov and Grom will pass. Mid Nine, just a strong player with a record of 27 kills per match. Jatoro is one of the best carries in the world and Faith Bian is always in class even though he is an offlaner.

PGL Arlington Major 2022 group stage matches will resume at 17:00 CET. As before, you'll find match breakdowns in the Predictions section, Day 2 recaps in the News section, as well as the current situation and yesterday's debuts.
Today is a big day in DotA – PGL Arlington Major 2022 starts. At the final (before The International) tournament of the year, 17 teams will play for $500,000 and, which is much more valuable in the realities of today's DotA competitive ecosystem, 4,750 DPC points.
Arlington Major is not just a major with a dubious background. This Dota holiday will allow not only professionals (even those who are on the reserve), but also ordinary Dota 2 fans (just like us) to compete.
The main criterion for the coolness of the “doter” for the next two weeks will be fantasy points, instead of the usual MMRs (but this is not accurate). The EGW editors came up with the idea to hold an internal competition in an attempt to determine the most perspicacious or successful forecaster.
The material will be updated every day throughout the tournament. In addition, we will make separate notes about each game day and analyze what happened.
Brief excursion
Fantasy League is not the most needed, but interesting interactive, which Dota 2 is not particularly famous for. The essence of fantasy is banal: for every day, you are offered to choose the top five from the pool of players, thereby creating your own “star” team.
Getting player cards to create a dream team is easy and practically free. You will receive 20 packs for free, after which you can purchase them for a very loyal price and earn for each won match in DotA (1 time)
The team will bring you fantasy points, the total number of which you can show off at the end of the Major. Quite unpretentious, but tasteful and free, but not without nuances.
On the surface, everything is very simple, but in this case there are unspoken rules. You don’t have to follow them at all, but if the goal is to overtake your regular party members in the predictor race, I advise you to stick to them.
How to bet in fantasy league
Having passed the basic aspect, we move on to a more creative point. Introducing a short guide to picking players in the fantasy league.
- #1 Update your teams. Always.
This is the foundation of the fantasy league. Before the start of each game day, assemble a new team. We recommend choosing in your top five those players who will play the most matches per day (this is especially important during the group stage, when teams will not play the same number of games per day)
- #2 Use gold and silver cards. Pay special attention to player bonuses.
Each “rare” player card has certain characteristics. Depending on them, the performer you have chosen will bring additional points. These can be fantasy points for placed wards, kills, demolishing towers, stuns, and even death. At the same point, we remind you that for a carry, the indicator of placed wards and stacked jungle camps is not very good, as for a support, the number of kills and taken roshans. Follow this.
- #3 Cunning with the choice of composition.
Behind the vague wording is an approach to the formation of the composition for every day. In total we need to pick 2 cores, a mid liner and 2 supports. This does not mean that it is necessary to pick all 5 positions. Both two carries and two “threes” are placed in the cores section, bzm can be defined at all in the mid, and two fours can safely be supports. I think the approach is quite clear: experiment and pay attention to point 2.
All these rules are advisory in nature, but if they are followed, the chances of taking the lead in the race of forecasters should increase. Forewarned is equally forearmed, and now to the main thing.
PGL Arlington Day 1 Fantasy Prediction by EGW
Now we got to the most interesting. Fantasy league predictions from EGamersWorld. The race includes:
- Nikita “ NikitkaFLZ ” is a full-time Dota forecaster and the author of the series “Halloween, we are in the Major”. In the prediction section, Nikita will guide you from the start of the group stages to the grand final.
- Maxim " s0d " - you remember him from the clarification of the DPC season and not only. By the way, he told what to expect from the major. Spoiler: not good.
- Ilya “ vanillareich ” is a full-time Valorant forecaster and an avid doter at heart.
- Danil “ starwraith ” – thanks to him we have team analytics for the group stage. And he will also cover the results of the Arlington fights for you.

A brief educational program has passed, now it will not be superfluous to mention our competition system. In the edition race, we will use any possible cards in order to match our betting guide as much as possible.
Another important point is that we have hardcore. We do not buy more packs and play with what we have, and therefore the degree of heat increases.
NikitkaFLZ's choice for the first game day of the PGL Arlington Major
Comment on selection
Team Aster has matches today with Evil Geniuses and Entity, if it can also be 1:1 with EG, then they should definitely close Entity with SabeRLight. Aster took the key players - Monet/Xxs. In the mid lane, there was a choice between Ori and Somnus, but more faith in Maeby.
RNG will face Outsiders and Soniqs (ex-Quincy Crew), it seems to me that easy matches for them should be even with RNG.ana. Therefore, the basis of the Chinese team flew in: kaka and Somnus.

Comment on selection
Talon Esports are extremely confident in their DPC season and have already gone from the second division to a trip to the Major. If the courage continues, then 23savage should show a good performance. The same goes for ATF, Ammar claims to be one of the most interesting young hard players. All players, with the exception of XinQ, will play 2 matches in the group stage today, which will potentially earn more fantasy points.

Comment
RNG confidently took first place in the last DPC season, beating all the Chinese tops, so Chalice will be a great choice. Yuragi is a direct successor to the old past OG. Stormstormer is a 11k player who showed great results in the last DPC. Y` is the winner of the recent Riyadh Masters 2022, and Mira is just a high-class support, the last winner of the int.
Auroralance selection for the first game day of the PGL Arlington Major
The choice was made in favor of color cards. By players: given the group stage and bo2, there is a feeling that not the most obvious performers will shine (Fata from Soniqs, aka Quincy Crew). Cr1t and Zai, from past fantasy experience, score a lot of points, and the second support is kaka, the headliner of RNG, besides the four. In the center, bzm was determined according to the residual principle.
Starwraith's pick for the first game day of the PGL Arlington Major
Choice comment
33 Tundra center player and one of the best offlaners in modern European DotA. Ammar really pleases with his game and out-of-the-box thinking
Fata is an example of a stable and good player, with a clear understanding of the structure of Dota, he will bring a good amount of fantasy points. Abed very rarely lets his team down and even in lost games he tries to bring the maximum amount of impact. Boxy is a good support, but he can easily be replaced with Sax.
Bets are made, now it's up to the small. It remains to wait for the start of the matches and, hopefully, by the end of the first day, you will be able to amuse your ego.
Fantasy League Prizes
The main prize in the fantasy league is the feeling of victory when you manage to score the maximum number of fantasy points. Something intangible, but valuable.
Speaking of “tangible” gifts, they also exist. After each period, the roster lock in the DotA client will automatically calculate points. All of them are converted into fantasy levels, maximum 4. That is, each period (game day) you will be credited from 1 to 4 levels, which is equal to hitting 100% of the best players for level 1, and 10% for level 4. Points are at stake Dota Plus and Lineage Treasure.
We compete with our tournament participants not so much for prizes, but for the sake of interest. We will publish our choices every day before the start of the games, and therefore we hope they will help someone get into the top 10% of the selected “fantasists”.
PGL Arlington Major 2022 starts on August 4 at 17:00 CET. At the final tournament of the 2021/2022 season for a prize of $500,000 and 4,750 DPC points. Stay connected, turn on notifications and let's try to enjoy DotA in America.
