On the third matchday of the Dota Dreamleague, Goonsquad prevailed over Team Liquid. Veteran Team Secret defeated Alliance with a resounding 2:0.

The two up-and-comers Goonsquad and Alliance had to compete against experienced competitors. Goonsquad unexpectedly won 2-1 against Team Liquid. After a defeat, the team saves itself in a 75-minute game marathon in the third round and finally defeated Liquid confidently.

The situation was different for Alliance, which had to compete against Team Secret. Although Secret entered the race with a substitute player, the team of Clement "Puppey" Ivanov was able to score points in two very one-sided matches. Alliance finds itself at the bottom of the table again after a defeat against Tundra on the second matchday shortly after the promotion.
