Lava Esports Form
Lava Esports are far from having their best season, although they have managed to gain a foothold in the South American second division. First, the team finished in 9th-12th place in the EPL World Series: America Season 3. Fifth place at the DPC SA 2023 Tour 1: Division II provided the players with $9,000 in prize money. The championship at the TodayPay Invitational Season 4 was Lava Esports' only win so far this year, with gold earning the team a $2,200 top prize. Silver at the EPL World Series: America Season 4 earned Lava an additional $2,500. The team then took part in 1XPLORE LATAM #1, where they finished in 7th-8th place in the standings and were left with no prize money. But Lava Esports managed to win bronze at DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Division II and DPC SA 2023 Tour 3: Division II, earning a combined $30,000. A top-4 finish at 1XPLORE LATAM #4 secured the team $3,500. But since July, the team has been on the road to failure. The 7th-8th places at EPL World Series: America Season 5, EPL World Series: America Season 6 and The International 2023 - South America Qualifier did not bring the players any earnings and also did not allow them to go to the Dota 2 World Championship this year. But fourth place at EPL World Series: America Season 7 allowed Lava Esports to earn a consolation $500.
The previous event for Lava Esports was an attempt to qualify for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. In the two open qualifiers, Lava Esports reached the quarterfinals and Ledge or estar_backs and iNvaders, respectively. The team thus lost the chance to travel to Kuala Lumpur for a major tournament from ESL.
In the group stage of the EPL World Series: America Season 8 Lava Esports took the fifth place with the statistics 3-4. The team was able to defeat only Universitario Esports and iNvaders. In the match against Infinity they got a technical win. This result sent the team to the bottom of the play-offs.

- 0-1 loss to iNvaders

x5 Gaming uniforms
The year started for x5 Gaming with a 5th-8th place finish at Fallen Cup Season 2, which did not bring any earnings for the players. The team got into the DPC season thanks to a win at DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Open Qualifier #2 and a silver medal at DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Closed Qualifier. Fourth place at the DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Division II provided the players with $11,000 in prize money. x5 Gaming then travelled to play LATAM Rookie Challenge 6, where they also finished fourth and received a $100 consolation prize. Top 4 at the 1XPLORE LATAM #4 online event brought x5 Gaming an additional $3,500. Next, the team had a series of failures. Eighth place in the DPC SA 2023 Tour 3: Division II deprived the players of a slot in the ranking season and prize money. EPL World Series: America Season 6 ended for x5 Gaming with fourth place and $500 in earnings. 5th-6th place at LATAM Rookie Challenge 8 and 7th-8th place at EPL World Series: America Season 7 can hardly be called satisfactory results either. After that, the club management decided to change their Dota 2 roster.
The revamped roster includes Luis, MonHty, Hermit, Sooths and størm. In addition to the group stage of EPL World Series: America Season 8, which will be discussed below, the team participated in ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 South America Open Qualifier #2, where they failed to achieve the desired success.
