DreamLeague Season 22 is down to the last eight Dota 2 teams. There's four days left and after that the tournament moves to the Playoffs. For now, the top spot is shared by Team Falcons & BetBoom Team. They both have a 3-0 win-loss record. In addition, both teams were part of Group A during Group Stage 1.

A Quick Recap

While BetBoom came out on top of Group A, it wasn't really smooth sailing. They managed to win three matches and managed a draw with the four other matches. Falcons meanwhile only managed to win two matches with the other matches ending in a draw.

OG almost didn't make it to Group Stage 2 but managed to get wins during the tiebreaker. Gaimin Gladiators meanwhile was able to defeat Virtus.pro to get the final spot.

Group B had a rather consistent result with three teams managing to get two wins and five draws. These were Xtreme Gaming, Shopify Rebellion, and Aurora. Team Spirit just managed to get ahead most of the teams to grab the last spot for Group Stage 2.

The Story so Far

As mentioned, BetBoom and Falcons had a strong start, winning in their first three matches. Shopify Rebellion meanwhile managed to win against Aurora and Gaimin Gladiators, to give them the third place. The next spots are really interesting since there are four teams that have the same standings. Finally there's Aurora who has yet to win a match.
