Two of the best Dota 2 teams in the Western European Division 1, OG and Entity, are set to face off in a crucial match that will determine who will move forward to compete for a spot at the Berlin Major 2023. Both teams have had subpar results in Tour 2 of the 2023 DPC season, with a 2-4 win-loss record, making this matchup a must-win for both squads. OG and Entity Battle for Berlin Major 2023 Spot in High-Stakes Match.

OG’s Disappointing Season

OG, a two-time TI-winning team, has struggled this season, particularly after switching Mikhail “Misha” Agatov and Evgenii “Chu” Makarov between the coach and position 5 roles in the OG lineup. However, the team has the experience and the talent to compete at the highest levels and win, as shown by their first-place victories at both ESL One Malaysia 2022 and the Stockholm Major 2022.

Entity’s Methodical Approach

On the other hand, Entity has a more methodical and strategic playstyle, which has brought them success in the past. The team had a promising run at The Lima Major 2023, but they have not been able to replicate that success in Tour 2 of the 2023 DPC season. Entity’s on-stage experience, with fairly successful endeavors at The International 2022 (TI11) and the last two Majors, could prove to be invaluable in this high-pressure, winner-takes-all scenario.

High-Stakes Matchup

This match has major implications for both teams, as the winner will gain momentum and confidence for their upcoming matches and a chance to compete for a spot at the Berlin Major 2023. The winning team will be tied with Ooredoo Thunders at 3-4 and go into a two-way tiebreaker with the team to qualify for the Berlin Major 2023. However, the loser will enter a three-way tiebreaker with Nigma Galaxy and Monaspa in a battle to avoid relegation into Division II for the next DPC season. This would prevent the team from acquiring DPC points from the third tour of the DPC 2023, which in turn completely shuts down the possibility of receiving a direct invitation to The International 2023.

A Clash of Playstyles

This matchup will feature a clash of differing playstyles, with OG being known for a more aggressive and fast-paced approach after acquiring Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin and Entity having a more methodical and strategic style in the game. Both teams will need to bring their A-game and execute their strategies flawlessly to compete for the final spot at the Berlin Major 2023 in the tiebreaker matchup against Ooredoo Thunders.

Invaluable Experience

Both teams have plenty of experience on the big stages, making this match even more exciting. OG has already achieved first-place victories at two major tournaments, while Entity has had successful runs in The International and the last two Majors. This experience will be invaluable in this high-pressure, winner-takes-all scenario. In the end, the team that can keep their nerves in check and execute their game plan to perfection will come out on top. While both OG and Entity have the talent and experience to win, only one team will move forward to compete for a spot at the Berlin Major 2023. The other team will be locked in a battle for survival, making this matchup a high-stakes showdown that is not to be missed.
