Boys, first match of DreamLeague Season 29, and what a way to start. Boxi is back, which matters more than people give it credit for—that space he creates for Nisha in the mid lane is something else. But Aurora? They have something to prove. I'm going with Aurora. Liquid will make it competitive; they always do, but Aurora's 5-man Dota in the early-to-midgame is just on a different level right now.

Aurora Collapse is back. That's the whole story here. Without him at Wallachia, Spirit looked slow, reactive, and completely dependent on Yatoro going nuclear every single game. With him back in the offlane setting the tempo, this team is a completely different animal. Vici Gaming is a good story and fun to watch, but against Spirit? Nah, I'm going with Team Spirit, and it won't be close.

TSpirit Look, VP on paper should scare nobody at this point. They have consistently disappointing results. The BetBoom head-to-head curse is one thing, but they've looked lost against basically everyone with a pulse. Falcons, on the other hand, have that patient, suffocating late-game Dota that 7.41c was basically designed for. I'm going with Team Falcons. VP needs a miracle run to even survive the group stage at this point.
