With three weeks of Dota 2 Champions League Season 4 matches out of the way, it's take to take a look at the standing and see where they will take these teams as things continue on with the European and American qualifiers.
With three weeks of games over with, and still plenty more to go, it's about time we step back and look where the teams are fairing in the qualifiers for the Dota 2 Champions League Season 4. Both the European and American Qualifiers have lead to some interesting games and some even more interesting scores, so lets take a look at them now.
European Qualifiers:
One of the teams to watch this tournament is Team Empire, considering they've been the D2CL Champions for two seasons running now. Sitting at a score of 7-3 they've positioned themselves as the top dog of the EU group and do not look to give it up easily. Empire also has the dubious distinction of having played one of the shortest games this tournament so far, a 10 minute match which they lost to Na'vi who managed to rack up 14 kills against them in the limited time. Regardless of the few spotty matches lost to Na'Vi and Alliance, Empire is set to progress past the group stage and into the EU playoffs alongside the others in the top four of the bracket.
Right behind Empire though sits Team Tinker, Power Rangers and Na'Vi with scores of 7-6, 6-6 and 6-4 respectively. All three teams so far have been playing the most matches and are currently sitting in position to progress past the group stage.
The teams with negative records so far are Virtus.pro, Cloud9 and Alliance with scores of 3-5, 2-4 and 2-6 respectively. It seems as though Alliance has not been up to form ever since their roster change, being unable to perform consistently throughout multiple tournaments.
Finally there is Fnatic, sitting at a lonely 2-1. The team has not been playing too many official matches at the moment, considering the team has not announced any official pick-ups yet. The second game against Team Tinker had to be rescheduled.
American Qualifiers:
Both brackets seem to have that one far and head team, but by sheer virtue of numbers Na'Vi.US is clearly the dominant team with a whopping 9-1 score. With an utterly dominating display taking down every team they've faced, sans Union gaming, Na'Vi.US is sitting comfortably at the top of the US group.
Everyone else in this group is still sitting at either six or eight games, and any of them could still take a position to follow Na'Vi.US into the playoffs, so between Sneaky Nyx Assassins, paiN Gaming, Not Today, Union Gaming and Dream Destroyers it is still quite literally anyones game.
The action is set to continue today, with Natus Vincere facing off against Cloud9 at 18.00 CEST. The American group will continue tomorrow, at 22.00 CEST.
