Some results definitely surprised us, so let\u2019s learn more about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DreamLeague Season 28 &#8211; Who\u2019s Advancing to the Playoffs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/teamliquiddota\/status\/2027392433122943421?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The winner of the <strong>BLAST Slam VI<\/strong> definitely stepped up its game during Group Stage 2. Following an impressive run, <strong>Team Liquid<\/strong> finished first in the group with 7 victories and only lost 4 games in total. This definitely puts the team in a league of their own, and they are the big favorite to win the entire competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tundra Esports<\/strong> is the second Dota 2 powerhouse to perform well in Group Stage 2. As expected, Tundra defeated most opponents and only lost against Team Liquid and <strong>Aurora Gaming<\/strong>. It\u2019s definitely going to be among the favorites going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aurora Gaming<\/strong> also made it among the best, but the team finally showed that it can bleed. After its amazing 20+ series without losing, Aurora was finally brought to its knees a total of 3 times. The good news is that the squad made it out and will advance to the Playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we have the Chinese powerhouse <strong>Xtreme Gaming<\/strong>. XG went into Group Stage 2 as one of the underdogs, but the team proved it could defeat even the best in the west. The Chinese exceeded expectations, but they failed to get a top-two finish after losing the last series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Eliminations at DreamLeague Season 28<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"PVISION vs FALCONS - HIGHLIGHTS - DreamLeague S28\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tz-mkarfQ4I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PVISION vs FALCONS &#8211; HIGHLIGHTS &#8211; DreamLeague S28<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, only four teams advanced to DreamLeague Season 28\u2019s Playoffs, which means that four teams were eliminated. Perhaps the most distributed was <strong>Team Falcons<\/strong> because some people thought they\u2019d be one of the favorites. The bad news for the Middle Eastern organization is that it was unable to live up to the expectations and finished with more losses than victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BetBoom<\/strong> is the second team that was unable to advance to the next stage. The team won only 2 matches and lost 5, which was not enough to be among the top 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same applies to <strong>PARIVISION<\/strong>. Despite the good results in Group Stage 1, the team made several crucial mistakes and lost five games. Sadly, PARIVISION will have to wave goodbye to DreamLeague Season 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we have <strong>MOUZ<\/strong>. After the team shocked its fans with its results in Group Stage 1, it could not maintain that level. What\u2019s interesting is that MOUZ delivered Aurora Gaming\u2019s first loss in the opening series but lost all 6 matches after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DreamLeague Season 28 Playoffs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Playoffs will be between February 28 and March 1, and we will have a double-elimination bracket and a Bo5 Grand Final. The final was just two days ago, so make sure to watch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of matches, <strong>Aurora Gaming will face Xtreme Gaming<\/strong> in the Lower Bracket semifinals. <strong>Team Liquid and Tundra Esports<\/strong>, on the other hand, will be playing in the Upper Bracket final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a week of epic matches, DreamLeague Season 28\u2019s Group Stage 2 is finally over.
