Well-known analyst Khaled "sQreen" El-Habbash Aurora Gaming is on the final stretch of the second group stage of DreamLeague Season 28 for Dota 2.
The End of Illusions and Playing at the Limit
The caster emphasized that he absolutely does not intend to gloat over the interrupted winning streak of the Asian team, but he noted the one hundred percent accuracy of his past predictions. In the analyst's opinion, the much-talked-about win streak of the team was initially completely "cardboard" and overrated.
El-Habbash was confident that the Aurora Gaming players were performing at their absolute maximum, and this fairy tale was inevitably bound to end exactly at the moment when the other tournament participants started taking the matches seriously.
The Awakening of the Favorites and Faith in the Playoffs
The expert's words were confirmed in practice: as soon as the heat was on, the competitors immediately engaged in the fight. The analyst praised the Chinese squad Xtreme Gaming, which finally got its act together and started fighting for points, and also noted the efforts of the already eliminated MOUZ.
Summing up, sQreen stated that his faith in professional Dota is gradually returning. The caster lost the persistent feeling that the esports athletes were playing "for a can of beer," as it was at the start of the tournament, so now he is expecting a truly spectacular playoff stage.
Aurora Gaming's Precarious Position
At the moment, the Asian team has already suffered three painful defeats in a row, losing to the rosters of Team Liquid, MOUZ, and Xtreme Gaming. Nevertheless, with a current record of 3:3, the team still retains a mathematical chance of advancing to the championship playoffs.
Recently, popular content creator Viktor "cheatbanned" Agarok spoke frankly about the endless complaints from the community about the supposedly deplorable state of Dota 2. The streamer ironically noted that Valve's project globally has not become worse at all, and the mass discontent of veterans is solely related to their plain aging and total nostalgia for their lost youth.
