Arkosh Gaming’s Journey in the 2023 DPC Season Comes to an End
Arkosh Gaming, with their highly skilled squad, started the qualifiers with great promise. However, their hopes were dashed after a loss to Monopoly in the first tour of the season.
Struggles in the Closed Qualifiers
The faithful legionnaires of Arkosh faced challenges in the Closed Qualifiers, starting with a tough opponent, Fart Studios (FS).
A Road to the Lower Bracket
After losing to FS, Arkosh Gaming found themselves in the lower bracket, where they managed to make it through the first round. In the second round, they faced an up-and-coming stack called Monopoly, consisting of two NA and three EU pubstars.
An Unexpected Defeat
After two closely fought games, Arkosh needed to bring their best performance in the final match. Unfortunately, Monopoly dominated the game with their Legion Commander, Death Prophet, and Ursa core-line, leaving Arkosh defeated and disappointed.
Facing Defeat and Disappointment
Arkosh Gaming was caught off guard, unable to turn the tide of the game against Monopoly. The flames of hope that their soldiers had brought were extinguished.
A Farewell and Separate Ways
With disappointment in their voices, Arkosh members bid farewell to each other, ready to move on separately.
Sharing Thoughts
Soon after the series, Arkosh members shared their thoughts with viewers. Febby questioned Qojqva’s approach to the game while Xcalibur felt that Team Bald was a better fit for him due to the ease of expressing opinions on Gorgc’s squad.
Unexpected Early Exit
Despite having a talented roster with former TI attendees, Arkosh faced an early exit against a team of unranked Immortal players.
A Chemistry Problem
Statements from Arkosh players suggest that there was a chemistry problem within the team, which may have been exacerbated by the fact that almost half of the squad was not located in NA. This led to high ping for the core players, which can affect performance in high-level Dota 2 matches.
