We continue to follow the events of DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II. Already this week, the teams that will go for promotion will be known. In the first game of the third game week, Alliance will face IVY, whose tournament position is rather shaky.
In this betting series, we'll take a look at the current standing of each of the participants in the tournament, review their form and recent matches, and see who ends up the stronger of the two at the end of the Bo3 clash.
Alliance Form
Alliance recently took part in Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes #1 where they crashed out in the third round of the tournament, Ledge to ex-HellRaisers 0-2. On their way, Handsken and team outplayed Team Faith and Team DogChamp. Not the most formidable teams on the professional Dota 2 scene.
The European squad is currently in 4th place in the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II standings. S4 with their teammates already managed as Ledge against all Division II favorites in the face of Team Secret and D2 Hustlers, and gave the last good resistance, and defeated PuckChamp and IntoTheBreach.
Alliance's latest results statistics:
- 1-2 loss to D2 Hustlers
- 2-1 win over IntoTheBreach
- 2-0 win over PuckChamp
- Defeat against Team Secret 0:2
- Defeat at the hands of ex-HellRaisers 0:2
Form IVY
Parallel to DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II, the European mix will play in European Pro League Season 8, an online league for teams from Western and Eastern Europe. The level of the teams there is even lower than in DPC Division II. After 5 matches played, IVY go 4-1, finishing 3rd in the group stage.
DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II is a little more difficult for jmvincento than in the first round of the current ranking season. Back then, the team finished in 5th place. Now IVY are in 7th place with a 1-3 result. Not the most confident game, given the closing match against Team Secret. The only team they managed to beat was PuckChamp. The other opponents IVY lost with a score of 0-2.
IVY's recent results statistics:
- 2-0 win over Ancient Tribe
- Defeat by KZ TEAM 0:1
- 2-0 win over HAVU Gaming
- Defeat at the hands of Old G with a score of 0:2
- 2:1 victory over PuckChamp
Alliance - IVY match history
The teams last met on DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division II. Alliance then defeated IVY on two consecutive maps. Before that there was a match in March 2022, but too much time has passed and that result is irrelevant.
Predicted outcome of Alliance vs IVY
Considering the current position in the standings, as well as the difference in form and motivation, the winner of the first match of the last week will come from Alliance. IVY can win one card, but the overall situation will not change. With the once legendary team's last two matches coming against Ancient Tribe and Old G, they need to win to at least retain a slot in the second division.
