With the playoffs of the Raidcall D2L approaching, Rapture Gaming Network got a sneak peak of the possible teams that could advance onto the next round.

 

This tournament, run by Evil Geniuses in partnership with Raidcall, features 12 top-tier teams from all around the American and European region battling it out for a slice of the $10,000 prize pool. The top 4 teams from the round robin group stages will advance onto the next round.

 

At the moment, Fnatic.EU leads the pack with an 8-3 record. Tied in 2nd are the American team Team Dignitas and defending champions Team Empire with 7-2 records. Not far behind in 4th position is another American team, Team Liquid.

 

Currently, Fnatic.EU has really been sensational in every game, with NoTail and the others just consistently performing in their roles – they will no doubt give any team that they face in the playoffs a hard time.

 

With the departure of Sneyking and addition of Universe, Team Dignitas proved that they can adapt quickly and perform at the same level. Another team who has undergone changes is Team Empire, with the departure of the very reliable off-laner Funn1k. The team is still transitioning but showed great versatility with new addition Vigoss taking mid while Scandal switched to the off-lane.

 

One team that might be considered a darkhorse is Team Liquid with FluffNStuff and his teammates playing consistent DOTA. While there is still room for improvement, they have shown that they are capable of upsetting the top-tier teams such as Team Dignitas and Fnatic.EU.

 

Another team that is still in the hunt for a playoff position is Mousesports. If any of the top teams slip up, Mouz will again be ready to be the 'replacement' as they were in The International.

 

The heat is on as 3 out of the 4 playoff teams will win prize money ($2,000 for 3^rd place, $3,000 for 2^nd place and a whopping $5,000 for the champion of the second season of D2L). The question is, can Fnatic.EU continue their dominant run? Can defending champions Team Empire retain their title or will the other teams make their way into the top four? Stay tuned for more information.
