Forecast X3 - HF
The group stage of Dota 2 Champions League Season 15 is just gaining momentum, and we continue to watch it. Today we'll talk about the opening match of the second gaming day, in which X3 will face HF. Previously, the teams had 3 meetings between themselves, as a result of which HF won twice, in turn X3 once. Today they will again have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.
Shape X3
The team's performances at D2CL are almost always unsuccessful, in the 6th season the team took 10th place, in the 10th and 11th seasons - 9th place. In addition, the Russian team can boast only 1 place at Russian Championship 2022, and 3 place at CPC 2022. The players also performed well at the last DPC EEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II, where they took 6th place, which allowed them to stay on their rank. The team is not in a good mood right now, as they recently lost 0-2 to PuckChamp in the qualifiers for The International in Eastern Europe, thus depriving themselves of the chance to go to the main tournament in Singapore.
Composition X3
- Nesfeer
- nattynarwhal
- Shergarat

Heroes X3
The team has a lot of different heroes in the pool, most of which are in the meta right now. Shergarat plays great for Venomancer (94 matches, 67% win rate), Beastmaster (70 matches, 62% win rate). Nesfeer farms well on Terrorblade (15 matches, 60% win rate), and Monkey King (15 matches, 53% win rate). Nattynarwhal picks mid Lina (52 matches, 65% win rate) and Void Spirit (50 matches, 68% win rate). Velheor often plays Rubick (78 matches, 55% win rate) and Tiny (65 matches, 58% win rate). Dark prefers Bane (35 matches, 68% win rate) and Winter Wyvern (31 matches, 55% win rate).
Form HF
Unlike the opponents, the D2CL team performed much better in the past seasons. Season 11 and 12, the players finished in 5th-6th place, and in season 14 they won 7th-8th place. Yesterday, the team played their first match at the current D2CL Season 15, against YNGBLD, and as a result of three intense maps of 61, 48 and 47 minutes, they could not choose a victory (1-2).
Composition HF
- Retsu
- SOHY
- for you
- ZXCDEADINSIDEGHOUL
- Proletarian
The last changes in the roster took place at the beginning of September of this year. Klassnokruto moved to Zorka Gaming, nicky`cool was bought out by Project Armor, and Maestro changed its flag to V-Gaming. In place of the departed are invited foryou from Nova, ZXCDEADINSIDEGHOUL who has not previously performed on the professional stage, and Proletariy - a former player of sQreen's Squad.
Heroes HF
The team has a wide variety of heroes in the pool. Retsu is great at farming Monkey King (68 matches, 82% win rate), Phantom Assassin (47 matches, 53% win rate). Foryou favors Puck (40 matches, 60% win rate) and Queen of Pain (33 matches, 69% win rate) in the mid lane. Proletariy plays on Mars (56 matches, 53% win rate), Slardar (29 matches, 79% win rate). SOHY prefers Disruptor (4 matches, 100% win rate), Pudge (3 matches, 100% win rate). ZXCDEADINSIDEGHOUL plays not only on SFE, as you might think based on the nickname, Skywrath Mage (24 matches, 54% win rate) and Mirana (22 matches, 63% win rate).
Meeting history
- Dota 2 Champions League Season 12 - Win HF (2-1) X3
- DPC 2022 Season 3: EEU (CIS): Closed Qualifier - Victory X3 (1-0) HF
- Dota 2 Champions League Season 11 - Win HF (2-1) X3
Match prediction
It is difficult to determine the winner as the teams are almost equal. X3 perform well in the DPC in the second division, but this does not give them much of an advantage. In turn, HF are leading in head-to-head meetings, but both teams' performance for the season is quite good. I would venture to assume the victory of HF.
Outcome: HF victory
