Virtus.pro
vs
LGD.Forever Young

LGD.Forever Young, the youngsters from China who dominated the group stage at TI7, take on the CIS powerhouse of Virtus.pro with a top 3 finish at TI7 on the line. Game 1 mirrored their group stage matchup as LFY decimated VP in quick fashion. With their backs against the wall, VP went for a less flashy lineup that included Viper and Disruptor. LFY answered with a Pugna, Faceless Void and Nature's Prophet lineup. Nevertheless, the game became an intense back-and-forth affair before VP secured themselves a 12k gold lead and began knocking on LFY's door. Still, LFY would not back down and drove the game into further chaos. Intense team fights, fantastic wombo combos, and a clutch Aegis steal make this game worthwhile to watch.

compLexity Gaming

Game 5 in a Bo5 between the second and third best teams in North America fighting for a spot at the International. As if it couldn't get any more climactic, coL were down two games by Game 3 before bringing it all the way back to Game 5, at which point all of the strats come out of the bag: the classic tiny-wisp factor, stacked %hp DoT, and even a Phoenix Aghs. Throws were made, the net worth graph crosses +-0 over a dozen times, and the winning team just manages to take the ancient by the skin of their teeth. This game showcases some of the absolute best from NA Dota.

Royal Never Give Up
vs
Invictus Gaming

RNG clashes with IG in a decisive game 3 of their first 2022 DPC clash. An insane
Separate 20k and 30k gold swings in the final 8 minutes of play, which are quite possibly some the most insane 8 minutes a game of Dota has ever seen, reaching it's peak with a game saving literal 1v5 Rampage. Emo and Somnus play out of their minds throughout and the winner is unclear until the very final moment. The game was incredible throughout, but the ending catapults it into the stratosphere.

mTw
vs
The Retry

Synderen's mTw vs. The Retry - a race against time.

The backstory to this game: If MTW won this group stage game, they would have the same record as TR. The tiebreaker for this tournament was the shortest average game duration. If MTW won in under 36:08 then they'd advance. If MTW lost or if they took longer than 36:08 then TR would advance.
