Resultater fra den første dag af gruppespillet The International 2022
Maksym ShylovThe first game day of the group stage of the main Dota 2 event of the year, The International 2022, has come to an end. Spectators could watch 25 matches involving the best teams in the world. Both pleasant surprises and unfortunate surprises awaited us. Below we will consider the situation in the groups after the matches of the first game day.
Group A
Tournament table:
Place | Team name | Match statistics | Map statistics |
1 | Evil Geniuses | 3-0-0 | 6-0 |
2 | Royal Never Give Up | 2-1-0 | 5-1 |
3 | OG | 2-0-1 | 4-2 |
4 | Team Liquid | 1-2-0 | 4-2 |
5 | Gaimin Gladiators | 1-1-1 | 3-3 |
6 | Hokori | 0-3-0 | 3-3 |
7 | PSG.LGD | 0-2-1 | 2-4 |
8 | Soniqs | 0-2-1 | 2-4 |
9 | BOOM Esports | 0-1-2 | 1-5 |
10 | BetBoom Team | 0-0-3 | 0-6 |
On the first day we were pleasantly surprised by Evil Geniuses. Team Arteezy made it to the tournament finishing 11th in the DPC rankings. The club defeated two favorites of The International in the face of PSG.LGD and OG, and also outplayed Soniqs. Hokori managed to take the map from PSG.LGD, aggravating the situation of the Chinese club. PSG.LGD, by the way, drew twice and lost once, which was a frank shock for all fans of the club and Dota 2. BetBoom Team are the main candidates for elimination from the tournament, if we compare the level of their game.
Group B
Tournament table:
Place | Team name | Match statistics | Map statistics |
1 | Team Aster | 1-1-0 | 3-1 |
2 | Team Secret | 1-1-0 | 3-1 |
3 | Team Spirit | 1-1-0 | 3-1 |
4 | Thunder Awaken | 1-1-0 | 3-1 |
5 | TSM | 0-2-0 | 2-2 |
6 | Tundra Esports | 0-2-0 | 2-2 |
7 | Beastcoast | 0-1-1 | 1-3 |
8 | Entity | 0-1-1 | 1-3 |
9 | Fnatic | 0-1-1 | 1-3 |
10 | Talon Esports | 0-1-1 | 1-3 |
Unlike group A, in group B, the participants played 2 matches, not 3. After the first round, all teams had equal statistics, since all 5 matches ended in a draw. As a result, Aster, Secret, Spirit and, suddenly, Thunder Awaken became the leaders. Team Spirit lost one map to Fnatic, who are clearly weaker than the current world champions, which somewhat ruined their day. In general, group B so far passes with fewer surprises than group A. Let's see how events develop further.
Tomorrow we are waiting for the next 25 matches of the group stage. The teams will continue to fight for the seeding in the playoffs, however, do not forget that 2 teams from each group, which will take 9th-10th place, will leave the tournament.
