Dota 2 is a continuation of the legendary team tactical-strategic game with elements of a role-playing game, in which each player controls one hero, and, if the hero has the appropriate abilities, a number of additional creatures.

Who is the favorite
Xtreme Gaming (China)
The Chinese region can rightfully be considered one of the strongest this year. However, due to the coronavirus, many teams in China were unable to collect enough DPC points for a direct ticket. Among them is Xtreme Gaming.
In the regional league, this year the team has never dropped below fourth place, but for various reasons they could not show themselves at the Major (the second most important tournament after The International). Now she is going through the qualifying stage, and according to many experts, this is the main favorite of Last Chance. True, the draw gave the Chinese difficult opponents.
Virtus.Pro (Eastern Europe)
Formally, the "bears" were supposed to hit the "int" directly. But due to a slightly clumsy DPC rounding rule, they had to earn their slot in the qualifiers.
In the closed qualifiers, the team was also on the verge of a trip to Singapore. Having reached the final undefeated, Virtus.Pro lost to BB Team with a score of 3:0. Nevertheless, experts still consider it the second strongest team in the CIS, which has a chance to break into The International 11.
Who to follow
Team Secret (Western Europe)
Over the past 10 years, Clement Puppey Ivanov has never missed The International as a player. With the latest substitutions (Roman Resolution Fominok, Bakyt Zayac Emilzhanov), the team has changed for the better and is ready to surprise.
T1 (South East Asia)
The SEA region is not famous for strong doters. However, T1 managed to gather the best of them and add former two-time The International champions Anatan ana Fama and Topias Topson Taavitsainen to the roster. With their ideas and experience, T1 can become a dark horse not only for the Last Chance stage, but for the entire tournament.
