Level UP proved stronger than RE Arise in the group stage of EPL Masters I for Dota 2

Level UP defeated RE Arise 2-0 in a group stage match at EPL Masters I.

On the first map, Level UP took a slight lead based on their lane play and then extended their lead a bit, but the team didn’t manage to secure a significant advantage until shortly before the end of the game. On the second map, RE Arise managed to close the gold gap several times and prevented their opponents from taking the lead for a long time, but this wasn’t enough to force the series to a third map.

This victory earned Sergey “Sbdush” Fatulaev’s team an additional three points, solidifying their position in Group B. RE Arise remains in the relegation zone with two wins and two losses.

EPL Masters I is being held online from July 26 to August 12, with a prize pool of $100,000. So far, three teams have been eliminated from the competition, including the disqualified KW. MOUZ, Rune Eaters, Yellow Submarine, and Natus Vincere have been invited to the playoffs.
