The Best Dota 2 Teams of 2020

Assuming that their 4th place at ESL One Germany 2020 was a fluke, I think it's safe to say that Team Secret would be one of the several teams that could win The International 10 if it started tomorrow. In the global rankings, I'd put them in the top 3 at this moment in time, probably 2nd to be precise. In any case, they're the best team in Europe and CIS. Team Liquid Taiga

As we were able to see at the recent ESL One Germany 2020, Team Liquid is in great shape again. Throughout 2020, their results have been very consistent. In spite of only winning one important trophy, Liquid was often in the top 4. They managed to do this no less than 6 times. And the last time they actually won the event, defeating the best competitors in Europe and CIS in the process: Nigma, Vikin.gg, Secret, mudgolems, and Natus Vincere.

Liquid's excellent form was also confirmed at the recent DOTA Summit 13 Online: Europe & CIS, a tournament in which they finished 2nd. Based on their seasonal results and the fact that they've been on an upward trend recently, I would put them at number 2 in Europe and number 3 overall. PSG.LGD Ame

At The International 2018 and 2019, PSG.LGD finished in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. But in September this year, the roster that got those great achievements left the organization and got replaced by an entirely new set of players. Some of these players came from EHOME, others from even smaller clubs, such as CDEC Gaming.

Initially it wasn't clear how strong the new PSG.LGD line-up was going to be. But after the first 3 tournaments, everyone quickly realized that it is just as good as the previous one. The results speak for themselves: 1st place: China Dota2 Pro Cup Season 1 2nd place: OGA Dota PIT S3: China 1st place: CDA-FDC Professional Championship If we look at the bigger picture of 2020, PSG.LGD got a lot of other impressive results. But I repeat, those results belong to a different lineup.

In the overall rankings, I would put PSG.LGD at number 1 at this point, but only slightly above Team Secret. Regionally, PSG.LGD is no doubt the strongest team in China. Quincy Crew Yawar

With Sumail's brother (Yawar) and 4 other talented players, Quincy Crew had the best year since its inception. They were part of no less than 11 Grand Finals of important regional tournaments and managed to win 7 of them. If North America and South America would be as strong as Europe and China, based on these results we could easily conclude that Quincy Crew has been the best Dota 2 team in the world in 2020. But unfortunately, NA Dota is quite terrible at this point and on top of that, Evil Geniuses did not even bother to take part in most tournaments. And when they did, they won.

In the overall rankings, I would put Quincy Crew somewhere around 5th place. But even that seems a bit optimistic when we consider the fact that Europe is full of world-class competitors that could probably demolish the North American squad in any Bo3 match. Alliance

To be fair, Alliance didn't shine this year, in the sense that they weren't the star of the show in any of the tournaments that they participated in. But in spite of that, their consistency has been impressive. Apart from finishing 4th at a Major (DreamLeague Season 13), s4 and his crew managed to play in 3 other Grand Finals.

One thing that's impressive about this team is its roster, which is full of highly skilled, highly experienced, and in some cases, highly accomplished players. Position 1: Nikobaby Position 2: Limmp Position 3: s4 Position 4: Handsken Position 5: fng Being a TI champion and winner of many important events, s4 is by far the biggest star on this team. But the others aren't that far behind. Overall, the team is probably ranked 4th.
