"In my opinion, Group A is stronger and more competitive than Group B, although there are many questions, but when weren't there any? That's what we will be watching"

He noted that the teams in Group B could potentially surprise, making for interesting matches. In Group A, however, there are clear favorites who are likely to advance to the tournament's playoffs.

Teams he predicts will exit Group A:

• Azure Ray

• Virtus.pro

• Heroic

• OG

As for the second group, Maelstorm highlighted an interesting situation with Tundra Esports, stating that they could show a strong performance. He also mentioned the possibility of some teams surprising with their gameplay in this group.

Teams he predicts will exit Group B:

• Aurora

• Shopify Rebellion

• Team Secret

It's worth noting that 16 teams will compete in DreamLeague Season 22 for a prize pool of one million dollars and the opportunity to earn EPT points. The performance in this tournament will play a role in determining the top teams that will receive a direct invite to the Esports World Cup, one of the largest Dota 2 tournaments.
