Teams with stand-ins are doing surprisingly good during the Berlin Major Group Stage.

It is day three of the ESL One Berlin Major and the results so far are pretty surprising. It seems like the teams that came into the tournament without their full-roster-power have been buffed throughout the Group Stage. Let’s take a look at the current Berlin Major Group Stage standings.

OG face yet again another VISA debacle – this time missing three of their players for the upcoming Berlin Major.

Name a more iconic duo than OG and stand-ins. The prominent organization has been facing continuous VISA issues since the new roster’s first LAN appearance in 2022. But their record with a skewed roster is incredibly.. good.

There were worries and doubts about OG’s performance at the Berlin Major as MinD_ContRoL and Kitrak fill in the shoes of DM and Chu. But so far, OG is killing it. The team has scored three series wins against Xtreme Gaming, Talon Esports, and Team SMG. They also scored three draws against Tundra Esports, Team Spirit, and Invictus Gaming with no series losses at hand. This pushed them to the top of Group B with a 9-3 scoreline.

BetBoom Team has yet to lose a series

The Eastern European all-star team, BetBoom Team, had a rough run at the first Major in Lima, Peru. But this time is something different. The team couldn’t secure a VISA for Pure and the young player had to once again miss a Dota 2 Major. BetBoom’s roster for the Berlin Major is completed by star player and Old G’s current offlaner, Resolut1on.

While BetBoom crashed and burned at the Lima Major, their performance at the Berlin Major is impressive so far. BetBoom grabbed a series win against TSM and managed to secure draws against Team Liquid, 9 Pandas, Gaimin Gladiators, Team Aster, and Evil Geniuses. The EEU team now stands in third place in Group A with a 7-5 scoreline.
