As DreamLeague Season 20 unfolds, Team Liquid finds itself facing unexpected challenges, currently sitting at the bottom of Group A with a score of 2-6. This comes as a surprise to many fans, considering the team’s dominant performances in the DPC Tour 1 and 2, as well as notable tournaments like the Lima Major 2023, DreamLeague Season 19, and Berlin Major 2023. However, the team’s journey in DPC Tour 3 also proved arduous, finishing in 4th place and narrowly securing a spot in the upcoming Bali Major 2023. Amidst this struggle, Aydin "iNSaNiA" Sarkohi, the position 5 player for Team Liquid, shared his anticipation for the Major and his excitement surrounding the stunning resort where the event will take place.
Insania’s love for the Ayana Resort
In a post-match interview, Insania provided insights into what he is most looking forward to at the Bali Major. He expressed his awe at the resort's breathtaking beauty and revealed the team plans to play Dota most of the time but hopes there is some time to explore the resort and its surroundings.
“The resort looks unreal. The plan is to really grind a lot of Dota and play a lot of Dota but hopefully we’ll get to see the resort a little bit. But it looks crazy nice in the pictures and that’s probably what I’m looking forward to the most. Just going there and seeing the area and the water and everything. It just looks very nice,” Insania said.
The Bali Major 2023, organized by IO Esports and Epulze, is the final Dota Pro Circuit Major before The International 12. Taking place from 29th June to 9th July at the Ayana Resort in Bali, Indonesia, it marks the first Dota 2 tournament in the country. With 18 top teams competing for a $500,000 USD prize pool and DPC points, the Bali Major promises an unforgettable blend of competitive Dota 2 action and a luxurious resort experience.
While Team Liquid's performance in DreamLeague Season 20 has been challenging thus far, the team’s qualification for the Bali Major serves as a testament to its resilience and determination. As Insania eagerly awaits the event, he also stated the importance of grinding Dota 2 games in order to perform better at the Major. Balancing intense Dota 2 practice with moments of exploration, Team Liquid aims to have a mix of both intense competition and relaxation at the tournament.
