DPC 2023 Tour 2 - what to expect from the final week of Division I

The final week of DPC 2023 Tour 2 is already in full swing. The best teams around the world are fighting within Division I for the prize money, the DPC points needed to qualify for The International 2023, and slots for The Berlin Major 2023. In this feature, we take a look at the most The International interesting developments and teams' prospects at the end of Division I.

Will OG be able to retain their place in Division I?

In the off-season for OG coach Chuvash and support Misha switched places, which did not help the team to correct the situation. If the OG simply couldn't qualify for the Lima Major, they now run the risk of relegation to the second division.

The recent victory over Nigma Galaxy leaves the chance for Yuragi and the team to retain a slot in the current division, but they face a match against Entity that, although they are not starry-filled, can cause problems. In total, there are potentially a number of teams in the relegation zone, which means Dota 2 fans could see tiebreakers in the first division of Western Europe.

Obviously, there must be a change in the OG line-up. A relegation to the second division could hasten that process.

NAVI stand a good chance of losing again to relegation

Many welcomed Natus Vincere management's decision to sign Kazakh-Ukrainian side PuckChamp to keep their place in the first division. PuckChamp looked good in the second division and had chances to clinch the first.

First, Born to Win outplayed Darkside, which didn't look surprising. But now NAVI are on a four game losing streak and in 7th place in the standings. The plan is for Malady and the team to play against some of the favourites of the division in the form of HellRaisers and the Virtus.pro team. NAVI must win both matches to retain their position in the season, but it will be very difficult with HR.

Who will take the top 4 in China?

The situation in China is stable. PSG.LGD is already guaranteed to go to The Berlin Major. Team Aster and Xtreme Gaming will compete for 2nd and 3rd place and are also guaranteed a trip to the Major. But for the 4th and last slot there will be a real fight.

At the time of writing, there are 3 teams at once, namely Invictus Gaming, Vici Gaming and Ybb Gaming. The latter 2 teams have only recently come from the second division, so a trip to the Major is a significant achievement for them. For Vici Gaming, their last major event was The International 2021. The team took 5-6th place then.

Battle for 3rd slot in Southeast Asia between Army Geniuses and Execration

Team SMG and Talon Esports are extremely confident in earning their slots in the Major, as Southeast Asia does not boast a high level of competition these days. But there are 2 teams who are 4-2 and are in contention for the last available berth to Berlin. We are talking about Army Geniuses and Execration. It's their clash ѕtunet the main The International riga this week in the region.

Shopify Rebellion keep trying to make it to The Berlin Major

For a long time now, North America has been dominated by 3 teams: TSM, nouns and the former Evil Geniuses squad, who now play under the banner of Shopify Rebellion. The main problem is that they traditionally allocate 2 slots in Major tournaments for North America.

This time TSM were the most confident players with 5 wins in 7 games. And nouns and Shopify Rebellion are yet to find out which of them will go to Berlin. Arteezy may not be young any more but he's still burning with the idea of winning the Major.

Evil Geniuses and beastcoast battle for the status of South America's strongest team

Evil Geniuses and beastcoast are on a 5 game winning streak in a row. It is no secret that they will most likely take part in the Berlin Major. But there remains one unresolved question: which of them is the strongest in Latin America? Dota 2 fans will get the answer to this question on April 1 in the final match of the DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Division I.
