Underdogs take over the tournament, Results of the third day of DreamLeague S27

At DreamLeague Season 27, unexpectedly for many, victories began to be claimed by outsiders. Thus, yesterday OG defeated the finalists of the previous tournament, Team Yandex, and Team Liquid managed to completely defeat the reigning champions of Blast Slam V, Tundra Esports. Today's day pleased us with an unpredictable victory of Virtus.pro without Daxak over MOUZ in prime and another triumph of OG, now over BetBoom Team. In addition, Pipsqueak+4 proved their worth, already able to handle Heroic without problems, and Team Falcons, who sensationally gave away a map to Passion UA on the first day of the tournament, rehabilitated themselves and defeated PARIVISION with a new coach, Puppey.

For the first time since SabeRLighT joined Virtus.pro, we were able to see the fruits of Daxak's kick. According to Abed, the team's success lies in the fact that they used strategies that they had not shown in official matches before. As it turned out later, Timado changed his approach to training in this tournament, paying attention to other MOBA games, which allowed him to look at Dota from a different angle. So, this time a combination of factors played a role. yamich, in turn, stated that MOUZ are experiencing some kind of decline. By the way, this match was also marked by a legendary event: Fly became the first player to play 3000 games on the pro scene.

The new Filipino roster of OG has repeatedly confirmed the fact that they cannot be ignored. Today we once again saw a decent game from them. On the first map, however, BetBoom Team overcomplicated the draft, but on the second, things went badly even without that. Although gpk~ is not in his best form right now, and Yopaj is showing excellent performance, it's still hard to say that BetBoom Team is in decline: recently Kiritych reached 17,000 MMR and climbed to the 3rd spot on the ladder, and at PGL Wallachia Season 6 the team made it to the top-4. So, it would be more accurate to conclude that OG finally signed a competitive roster that continues to gain strength.

A not very well-known and star-studded mix Pipsqueak+4 defeated the already played Heroic. Nevertheless, Kidaro, who lifted the trophy with MOUZ at PGL Wallachia Season 6, has been showing himself well for a long time. While the team is in the 2-1 basket, Heroic managed to defeat only the unfortunate Yakult Brothers.

The day ended with an unusual confrontation on the mid lane on the deciding map. ATF on Viper came to stand mid against No[o]ne- on Venomancer. This adventurous decision turned out to be quite successful, Team Falcons still took the map, because in the battle of toxics ATF could not lose.

DreamLeague Season 27 takes place from December 10-21 in an online format. In addition to the prize pool of 1 million dollars, EPT points are also up for grabs at the tournament, which are needed to receive invitations to future tournaments from ESL, including EWC 2026.
