LFY Team Confirms 1st Position in Group B And Cloud9 VS HellRaisers Becomes a Life and Death Party in Group B

After 3 days of the group phase, it is now increasingly visible that teams will compete to secure the upper bracket and lower bracket positions, and there will also be teams fighting not to be eliminated. Who are they?

With only 1 day left for the group phase match, the LGD Forever Young team will certainly be in 1st position in the group B standings. They only lost 1 time, namely from the Digital Chaos team where they last picked Pudge in the match on the third day with a total of 13 wins. and in the second position of the Newbee team with 8 victories, it is certain that this Chinese team will certainly enter the playoffs by being in the upper bracket.

For Team OG Dota 2 which is now in 4th position, they must struggle to secure their position to get into the upper bracket in the playoffs. Because at The International 7 this time the lower bracket will use the best of 1 system, which means that if the team loses in the lower bracket, the team will be eliminated immediately. They have 2 matches remaining, namely against Execration and also the LFY team who are “On Fire”. They have to get maximum wins to secure their position.

The following are the rules for the group phase of The International 7 if there are teams that get the same score:

– If the team with the same score is between the upper bracket and lower bracket separator and between the lower bracket and is eliminated, there will be an additional match.

Beyond that then:
1. Match Up will be compared between 2 teams
2. Comparing their wins to the teams below them
3. Coin toss

For the elimination zone, the Cloud9 team was quite surprising where they were continuously during the first day and were only able to get 1 point against the Virtus.Pro team on the second day. On the third day they had to lose again to the Invictus Gaming team and share the points with the Execration team which earned them 2 points and took them out of the elimination zone occupied by the HellRaisers team with only 1 point. Uniquely, the two teams will meet on the fourth day and it is certain that this match will be a life and death event between the Cloud9 team and HellRaisers.
