Forecast S9 - No Sorry
The group stage of Dota 2 Champions League Season 15 is in full swing, and we continue to watch it. Today, within the framework of the fourth gaming day, a meeting between No Sorry and S9 will take place. Previously, the teams did not hold face-to-face meetings, and today they will have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Form No Sorry
The team was created a little less than a year ago, but has already managed to establish itself as a strong middle team. The team has been to five seasons of D2CL, and each time showed a different performance. In the 7th season, the team flew by with a bang, taking 13th place, and in the 11th season they won the victory and 1st place. In addition, the team played at the last stage of the DPC EEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II, where it took 5th place.
The team played their first match at the current tournament against YNT, and despite being the favorites, they could hardly confirm their title. They gave the first map in 38 minutes, but then the players did an analysis of the mistakes, and closed the next two in 32 and 29 minutes.
Line-up No Sorry
- dream`
- Mannik
- lasthero
- y0nd
- BLACKARXANGEL
There is an interesting situation with the roster at the moment. At the beginning of July 2022, another CIS team Team Unique, which had been in need of players for a long time, signed the entire No Sorry roster. Under the new flag, the players managed to participate in the 12th season of D2CL, and finished it in 4th place, after which Team Unique disbanded the roster, and the players returned to the previous organization.

Form S9
A much less eminent team, which had not had time to participate in any important tournaments before, and, accordingly, earn achievements. The team played their first match against YNT, and despite all efforts, two maps of 26 and 36 minutes each brought S9 a defeat and falling into the bottom of the rating table. In the second match, the favorites from IVY were waiting for them, and despite the title of outsiders, the team won a victory on three maps of 48, 38 and 32 minutes.

Match prediction
The match promises to be not the most interesting. On the one hand, No Sorry are clear favorites and thanks to their experience. On the other hand, S9 have already crushed the same favorites from IVY, so they cannot be discounted. I think the victory is still for No Sorry, but S9 will be able to squeeze out one card.
Result: Handicap +1.5 on S9
