Team Aster, one of the most prominent teams in the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) China 2023 Tour 3: Division I, has been eliminated from Dreamleague Season 20. Despite their promising start in Group Stage 1 and the addition of the renowned Sumail "SumaiL" Hassan to their roster, Team Aster's valiant efforts were not enough to withstand the challenges of Group Stage 2.

Group Stage 2 proved to be a treacherous path for Team Aster, as they faced an uphill battle against formidable opponents. However, a series of defeats, including their recent loss against Team Spirit, pushed them to the brink of elimination. With an unfortunate record of zero series wins and five series losses, Team Aster's hopes of advancing to the playoffs have been abruptly shattered. However, they now have an opportunity to display their resilience and gain valuable experience in their remaining two series, setting the stage for future endeavors.

As Team Aster bows out, the spotlight now shines brightly on PSG.LGD, the last hope for Chinese Dota 2 fans in Dreamleague Season 20. The team's commendable performance thus far has instilled a glimmer of hope. However, a recent setback against BetBoom reminds us of the fierce competition they face. Currently standing at second place in the standings, PSG.LGD carries the weight of the nation's expectations on their shoulders..

Looking beyond the immediate disappointment, Team Aster must shift their focus to the upcoming Bali Major 2023. This setback serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of competitive Dota 2 and the need for constant adaptation. With determination fueling their spirits, Team Aster will regroup, analyze their experiences, and refine their strategies. 

The Bali Major presents a crucial opportunity for redemption, as the team seeks victory and the accumulation of enough DPC points to secure a coveted spot in The International 12. It is in these moments of temporary defeat that true champions rise, and Team Aster is poised to do just that.
