Team DK won the World E-Sports Professional Classic-Association for Chinese Esports (WPC-ACE) League 2013, but Invictus Gaming (iG) won the Red Bull E-Sports Champions League. This weekend, the two Dota 2 giants of China face each other once again in the G-League grand finals.
Indeed, a lot has changed indeed since The International 2013 and since the great Chinese reshuffle. After the roster change, Team DK became one of the scariest Chinese teams to go against. That is until the team met the crazy 6.79 patch, which not only ended their 16-0 streak, but also forced them to change the way they played. The team seemed to be weaker than it initially was before the patch until they finally won WPC-ACE.
On the other hand, The International 2012 champion iG also underwent changes after failing to impress at The International 2013. Compared to Team DK, however, iG had a better grasp of 6.79.
Using data from datDota.com, let’s take a look at what the numbers say about the history of these two teams and their rivalries.
Except for the total winnings, the gap between Team DK and iG doesn’t seem to be very far. Judging by what I’ve seen in the previous games, DK has a very large hero pool and is versatile with strategies. The members are individually very skilled, but as a team, they need to improve on better drafts. IG, on the other hand, needs to be more versatile with its drafts and strats. Although DK is usually the crowd favorite, there’s still no way to determine who will win the up-coming G-League. So which team are you rooting for? Let us know in the comments section below.
