Dota 2

Since the start of the DPC Tour 3 on the 15th of May, the SEA region has seen a new prominent team take over. Yes, it is Bleed Esports, on equal footing with Talon Esports. Also, Army Geniuses might show some promise this time. The Division II team ranked up in Tour 2 and almost missed qualifying for the Berlin Major. The same goes for Bleed Esports. They have struggled to qualify for both Majors this year but managed to stay in Division I so far.

Bleed Esports

This team, despite not qualifying for Berlin Major, has not made any roster changes. With two exceptional players like Iceiceice and DJ, they are showing some growth. And now, with the new addition of star player MISERY as their coach, it can only go up from here. Bleed Esports has taken out two of the top competitors in the SEA scene, Execration, and Team SMG.

Bleed Esports Vs. Execration

The first game went the way of Execration with a surprising Magnus carry draft. However, that did not work in the second game. Though Execration was in control of the first 15 minutes of game 2, a team wipe by Bleed Esports turned the game in their favor. JaCkky, with good 'Song of the Siren' setups, helped them win the team fights. The game ended at 44 minutes favoring Bleed Esports.

Game 3 was controlled by Bleed, making them end the game in 30 minutes, with a score of 32-8.

Bleed Esports Vs. Team SMG

All three games in this series were long, with Team SMG winning Game 1 at 49 minutes. In Game 2, Bleed Esports was in control for the first 15 minutes But, with both teams having two farming carries, Alchemist and Terrorblade, the game slowed down. But with Beastmaster on the side of Bleed, SMG was constantly getting pushed in. Losing their first lane of barracks at 34 minutes, paired with a dieback from Alchemist, gave Bleed the win they needed.

Talon Esports

Talon is coming back after falling short at the Berlin Major. With The International coming closer, the regional qualifiers are going to be fierce. Even though Talon has been at the top of the SEA for the better part of this DPC, they are struggling against other regions. Hopefully, 23savage can carry his team to the top of The International. The Talon players individually are highly skilled, but unfortunately, they seem disoriented as a team. But it looks like they are working it out in the regional qualifiers of Tour 3.

Talon esports Vs. Team SMG

Game 1 was a fast one ending in 36 minutes. Talon was in control the whole game, constantly ganking heroes on SMG. However, Game 2 was not kind to both teams. A 62-minute game pushed both teams to their limits. Masaros popped off on his Timbersaw, making him almost unkillable. But with three diffusals on Talon and 23savage on his PL finally ended the series.

Talon will be facing Bleed Esports on 22nd May at 10:00 am CET.
