Dota Pro Circuit Division II: The Final Week Begins!
The final week of Dota Div II has started. At the moment, the Dota community is focused mainly on DreamLeague. With the top teams in the world competing, it's only natural for everyone to be drawn towards them. But we should not forget about the future of professional Dota, the Division II teams. So, today let's get an update on Division II DPC. Let's start with the European region.
Western EU
This region is stacked with some strong teams and TI champions. But they seem to be struggling to make it to the top. As of now, Ex-Monaspa and Level UP are at the top of the leader board. Fan favorites Nigma Galaxy and Old G need to win their remaining games to compete for the qualifying spot. However, this poses a problem for both as they are going against each other today at 3:00 pm CET.
Eastern EU
The Eastern Europe region is seeing some new teams enter the DPC, such as MoneyMakers and StoRm. Both these teams are showing some promise, but will they be able to make it to the top? StoRm (formerly known as Darkside) and NAVI dropped to Div II after a poor performance in Tour 2. However, NAVI has had a clean run so far in Div II, taking the top spot. MoneyMakers, Navi Junior, StoRm and Team Sexy share the 2nd spot with three wins.
China
This region is by far the one with the most changes all year round. But that has paved the way for teams and players that take competitive Dota seriously. However, this Tour 3, China has lost a big name, Vici Gaming, as they did not register their roster after their drop to Div II. Holy Grail, Big Brain, and Team Zero have taken the top spots in CN, all-new teams. Holy Grail has a clean 5-0 streak so far.
Southeast Asia
Geek Slate seems to be making a clear path for their return to Division I. The team has won all five of their series so far. Polaris Esports is in 2nd place with a 3-2 score. Polaris is sharing its spot with Myth Avenue Gaming and SPAWN Team. Polaris has a chance to beat SPAWN, but they have already lost against MAG. This scenario would have Polaris and MAG tieing for 2nd place. The final week of Dota for SEA has started already.
North America
Wildcard Gaming dropped to Div II and is at the top with a 5-0 score. They are followed by CDUB Esports in 2nd place with a 4-1 score. These two teams will face off on June 23rd at 12:00 am CET. Team Ravens moved from SA to NA after acquiring part of the roster from Another NA Team.
South America
Keyd Stars and Qhali performed poorly in Div I during Tour 2 and dropped to Div II. Keyd Stars made a comeback in Div II with a 5-0 score, whereas Qhali has dropped to the bottom of Div II. Surprisingly, Keyd Stars is sharing their No. 1 spot with Universitario Esports, a new team from Closed Qualifiers.
